In the Philippines, Wowowin became the second television program to suspend live studio audience, after Eat Bulaga! suspended live studio audience on the same day. While Eat Bulaga! suspended live studio audience, Wowowin aired pre-taped episodes.

Tutok to Win
On March 26, 2020, Wowowin aired its first ever Tutok to Win on its social media accounts, live in Puerto Galera.

On April 13, 2020, Wowowin returned to TV, live from the Wil Tower Mall.

In March 2020, the admission of a live audience in the studio and production were suspended due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, Wowowin Primetime abruptly ended on March 14, 2020.

Resumption of live telecast
The show resumed its programming on April 13, 2020 from the Wil Tower Mall. The original Wowowin was temporarily replaced by Tutok to Win.

Return to GMA Network Studios
On November 6, 2020, Wowowin returned to the GMA Network Studios, this arrangement happens every Friday. Tutok to Win is now in the studios until March 26, 2021.

Second suspension of live production due to second enhanced community quarantine (ECQ)
Tutok to Win, in its last 3 March episodes, suspended production due to the re-implementation of the enhanced community quarantine in NCR, Laguna, Cavite, Bulacan, and Rizal amid rising COVID-19 cases.

Tutok to Win returned to the Wil Tower Mall on April 5, 2021, altering with the GMA Network Studios, but temporary returned in July of the same year on Wil Tower Mall for the preparation of the Shopee TV Specials.

The show was renamed to Wowowin: Tutok Para Manalo. On December 22, 2021, Michael V became a substitute host for Willie Revillame in Wowowin as Revillame is donating to the victims of typhoon Odette.

Suspension of live production due to the Omicron variant
Beginning on 1 January 2022, Wowowin suspended its live production for the third time due to the rapid emergence of the more infectious Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Metro Manila following the holiday celebrations. Metro Manila was also placed under Alert Level 3, which imposed tighter restrictions on travel and business operations. The show aired replays until January 7, 2022.

Resumption of live production in Tagaytay

The end of Wowowin
It was reported that Wowowin will end on February 11, 2022. This is due to Revillame's contract with GMA Network lapsing four days later.
