A TikTok bulletin board is a broadcast channel inside the app, where a creator posts news, updates and exclusive content to the fans who've joined it. TikTok announced the feature on 24 November 2025, and at launch said it was rolling out to creators aged 18 or over with 50,000 or more followers globally.
TikTok describes it as a one-to-many broadcast channel: you post, and members get an inbox notification.
Setting up a bulletin board
These are the steps TikTok gave in its launch post:
- Open your inbox.
- Select the option to create a bulletin board.
- Give it a name, and switch Show on profile on or off.
- Tap Create to open it.
Menu wording can change after launch, so if a label looks different on your phone, look for the same option in your inbox. If you haven't set your account up for creating yet, start with this guide to a TikTok creator account.
How fans join
A follower goes to the creator's profile and taps the bulletin board's name under the bio. That's all there is to it.
What members can do
Members get an inbox notification when the creator posts, and they can react with emojis. TikTok's announcement doesn't describe replies, so don't plan on it working as a two-way chat. Content has to follow TikTok's Community Guidelines, and TikTok says muting, blocking and reporting tools are available inside the board.
Why musicians may get the most from it
The detail that stands out in TikTok's post is aimed at artists: they can use a bulletin board to share new music, including a pre-save option for upcoming releases. For anyone with a release date to promote, a channel their keenest fans have chosen to join, with a notification in the inbox, is a direct line.
Is a bulletin board worth it?
If you meet the bar, I'd try it. Notifications land in members' inboxes, so your update doesn't rely on them catching you in the feed. Just remember the eligibility I've quoted is TikTok's launch rule from November 2025 and may have changed. If you want a broadcast channel outside TikTok too, here's how to create a WhatsApp channel, and you can compare it with TikTok subscriptions too.
