How to leave a TikTok LIVE agency (Creator Network)

How do I leave a TikTok LIVE agency, and how long does it take?

You leave inside the TikTok app on the Creator Network (sometimes labeled Agency Center) screen. Your network's notice period is in your agreement. We have not found an official TikTok page that says whether there is a waiting period before you can join another network; creators report 15, 30 or 60 days, and we cannot confirm any of them. Read your agreement, check the notices TikTok shows you in the app, send written notice, and keep a copy.

Leaving is the single most-asked question about LIVE agencies, and the answers circulating on TikTok contradict each other. This guide separates three things: what TikTok actually publishes, what your contract says, and what the app lets you do.

What TikTok publishes

TikTok’s Creator Networks pages describe how a network invites and onboards a creator and how contracts are managed in LIVE Backstage (“manage contracts, and review monthly bonuses and payouts”). On the official TikTok pages we cite, we have not found a creator-side exit procedure, a notice period, or a statement on whether there is a waiting period before you can join another network.

That does not mean no waiting period exists. It means we cannot confirm one either way. So treat any number you hear, including “TikTok requires you to stay 30 days,” as unconfirmed until you see it in your own agreement or in a notice TikTok shows you in the app.

The three numbers you will hear

  • “Free to leave within 15 days.” Some networks offer a trial window in their own contract. Check yours.
  • “30 days’ notice.” A notice period in many network contracts, including ours. Check yours.
  • “60-day wait before joining another network.” Reported by creators as an in-app restriction after leaving. We could not confirm it on an official TikTok page, so we treat it as unconfirmed, not as false. Check the notices the app shows you when you leave, and ask your new network what they have seen.

Our terms

Our notice period is written into the creator agreement you accept in the app, and it is the number on our requirements page. There is no exit fee. We will not ask you to stay, and we will process the unlink on our side within the notice period.

Step by step

  1. Read your agreement first. Find the notice period and the method of notice (in-app, email, or both). If you cannot find your agreement, ask your manager for a copy — a network that will not provide it is telling you something.
  2. Send written notice the way the agreement specifies, and keep a copy with the date. A DM that disappears is not proof.
  3. Unlink in the app. Open TikTok, go to your profile menu, then Settings and privacy, then Creator tools. Look for the Creator Network (older versions: LIVE Center, then Agency Center) screen and use the option to leave or end the collaboration. The exact labels vary by app version and region; if you cannot find it, search “Creator Network” in the app’s settings search.
  4. Wait out the notice period. Keep streaming normally. Your Rewards are paid by TikTok under its Rewards Policy regardless of network status, so leaving does not change how TikTok pays you.
  5. Confirm you are unlinked by checking that the Creator Network screen no longer shows the network.

If the network will not let you go

  • A network cannot legally hold your account. It never had your login, and it should never have asked for it.
  • If your manager stops responding, send notice by every method in the agreement and keep the timestamps.
  • If the network is doing something that breaks TikTok’s rules, report it through the in-app reporting flow on the invitation or the network’s certified account.
  • If you have already given your notice and the period has passed, you have done your part; document it.

Does leaving hurt your streams?

Nothing on TikTok’s pages suggests a network can influence your distribution, in either direction. What can change is access to network-run events and bonus programs, which end when the relationship ends. Your Diamonds, your followers, and your LIVE access are yours.
