The Chinese version of Tiktok not only allows people to watch people doing livestream but also allows them to join the livestream. How? Let's say A is doing livestream about practicing speaking English (A is a native speaker, perhaps), he can invite people to join a conversation and talk to him (audience who don't join the conversation can watch and listen to what they are talking about). I usually see the phrase "Connect to me if you want to talk to me" in Chinese, which means "If you want to chat with me, you can connect to me", there's a "connect" button on the screen.

Is it natural to say that? How would native speakers phrase it?
 
Probably something like "join my livestream."

If you want to use "connect," then it's "connect with."

Note my corrections above.

I'd use some version of the following:
Click Connect to join the conversation live.
Click the Connect button to join my livestream.
