A new entertainment and information resource has officially been released by TikTok this week and this initiative is meant to help lighten a user’s mood during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
This new feature will give users a chance to ask questions directed at experts and allow them to engage with celebrities on the platform, according to Social Media Today.
This new feature will be called #HappyAtHome which will allow users to see well-known musicians, actors, comedians and more celebrities to share a series of live streams on the platform at 5 pm, every day of next week, according to Social Media Today.
“We’ve partnered with a wide range of amazing celebrities and creators to launch something special: #HappyAtHome: LIVE!, a week of nightly programming that kicks off today at 5:00 PM PDT and will run each evening through Friday,” TikTok explains. “The goal is simple: share in a bit of levity, provide some comfort, and embrace the responsibility we all have to do the right thing by staying inside and stopping the spread. There’s a lot we can’t do right now, but this is one small way we can all help each other during these trying times.”
However, it is important to mention that it remains unclear how long TikTok plans to run the #HappyAtHome campaign for, but for this week it has a range of celebrities lined up for this week:
