If you’re new to live streaming and thinking about going live for the first time, BIGO Live is one of the most beginner-friendly platforms to start on. Many new creators feel nervous before their first stream, but understanding what to expect can make the experience much smoother.
This guide explains what happens when you go live on BIGO Live for the first time, shares beginner tips, and outlines the different ways creators can participate on the platform.
What Is BIGO Live?
BIGO Live is a global live-streaming platform where creators connect with viewers in real time through live video. Unlike traditional social media, BIGO Live focuses on interaction, conversation, and community rather than pre-recorded or edited content.
Creators can stream casually, chat with viewers, and build an audience over time — even if they are completely new.
What Happens Your First Time Going Live on BIGO
Your first BIGO Live stream doesn’t need to be perfect. Most beginner streams are simple and relaxed.
Here’s what you can expect:
Viewers may enter and leave as they browse
Some people will chat, others may just watch
Engagement usually builds gradually
Conversations happen naturally as you respond
It’s normal if your first stream feels quiet. Many successful creators started the same way.
Do You Need Experience to Go Live on BIGO?
No experience is required to start live streaming on BIGO Live. Many beginners go live with:
No prior streaming background
No large social media following
A basic phone and internet connection
What matters most is consistency, communication, and being yourself.
Beginner Tips for Going Live on BIGO
1. Keep Your First Stream Simple
Start with casual conversation. Introduce yourself and ease into it.
2. Talk Even If the Chat Is Quiet
Talking consistently helps new viewers feel comfortable engaging.
3. Be Authentic
Viewers connect more with real personalities than polished performances.
4. Give Yourself Time
Confidence grows with experience. Every stream is part of the learning process.
How Long Should Beginners Stream on BIGO?
There is no single rule for how long beginners should stream on BIGO Live. How much you stream often depends on which path you choose on the platform.
If you are an official host within an agency, there is typically a monthly streaming requirement, often 30 hours or more per month, depending on the program and tier. This option is more structured and works well for creators who prefer clear monthly goals.
If you are part of the BBR (Beans Bonus Reward) program, there are no fixed streaming hour requirements. This option allows creators to stream on a flexible, weekly basis, focusing on consistency and performance rather than total hours.
For beginners, choosing the option that best fits your schedule and comfort level can make live streaming more enjoyable and sustainable over time.
Your Options for Streaming on BIGO Live
When starting on BIGO Live, creators typically have two different ways to participate, depending on their goals and availability.
1. Joining an Agency as a Host
Some creators choose to join an agency where:
There may be monthly hour or activity requirements
Creators work toward specific performance tiers
Support and guidance are provided through the agency structure
This option is often suited for creators who want a more structured approach.
2. Joining the BBR Program
Another option is the BBR (Beans Bonus Reward) program, which:
Runs on a weekly basis
Has no fixed hourly streaming requirements
Focuses on performance and consistency rather than scheduled hours
This option can be appealing for creators who want more flexibility in when and how often they stream.
MetaLive Agency offers support for both options, allowing creators to choose the path that best fits their lifestyle and streaming goals.
