TikTok Live PK (Player Kill)

A head-to-head live battle where two creators go live together and compete for gift volume from their combined audiences for a fixed window.

How PK battles work

Two creators with sufficient followers can PK. Their streams split the screen; viewers in either creator's room can send gifts, and a progress bar shows who's leading in diamonds over the battle duration (typically 3–5 minutes).

Why PKs drive revenue

PK audiences layer — your gifters plus theirs. Competitive dynamics push viewers to gift more than they would in a solo stream. Frequent PKs are a staple of high-earning TikTok Live creators.

Monitoring PK streams

PK events fire distinct WebSocket messages. TikMonitor captures the battle start, end, and winner as part of the session timeline — you can see which PKs spiked a creator's diamonds in replay.
