What Is a Bigo Live Shield? Families vs Gifts

Are Bigo Live shields, family badges and gifts the same? Identify the icon correctly and learn where to check family requirements and Diamond costs.

When you see a 'shield' in Bigo Live, do not confuse a gift name, family badge and other visual icons. Check the screen where it appears and its full name to understand its function; appearance alone does not establish a price or membership rights.

What is a Bigo family?

BIGO's family system brings users together around shared activities and goals. Family membership, level and family gifts are different elements. Sending a particular gift does not automatically grant the right to create or manage a family.

Identifying a shield

  1. Determine whether the icon appears in the gift panel, profile or family section.
  2. Read its full name and any description or duration information.
  3. If it is a gift, check the Diamond cost before sending.
  4. If family membership or creation is involved, review the current conditions shown in your account.

Be careful with levels and prices

This guide does not promise a level-20 requirement for every user or a 999-Diamond price for every shield. Events, icons and conditions may change. Use the shield-price guide below for cost calculations and the gift guide for sending instructions.

To compare current products, browse the Bigo Live diamond packages. Read the delivery and account conditions in the product description before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is buying a shield the same as creating a family?
Do not treat them as the same action; check gift and family-management requirements separately.

Use the current cost shown on the relevant gift or feature screen in your account.
