Here's a complete guide on every method for streaming from your PC or Mac to TikTok LIVE.
1. Unlocking Your TikTok LIVE Stream Key
To start streaming using OBS, Streamlabs, or Meld Studio, you'll first need a TikTok LIVE stream key.
Join a free-to-join Creator Network (agency).
Find my verified list of trusted agencies here.
2. Recommended Streaming Software
OBS Studio
Highly versatile, ideal with plugins:
Aitum Vertical: Enables landscape and vertical streaming simultaneously.
Aitum Multistream: For easy multi-platform streaming.
Both plugins are free.
Full tutorial here.
Meld Studio
Easy setup without needing plugins.
Ideal for beginners.
Full tutorial here.
Streamlabs Desktop

Recommended: Dual-output mode (landscape + vertical).

3. TikTok LIVE Studio (PC & Mac)

6. StreamElements SE.Live Plugin (Alternative)
Enables TikTok streaming without a stream key.
Easier setup but less polished than Aitum plugins.

7. Caution: Unofficial Stream Key Generation
GitHub method uses Streamlabs API (potential TOS violation).
Not recommended due to risk.
8. Backup Method: Mobile Screen Sharing
In-app "Mobile Gaming" shares your phone’s screen.
Stream from Twitch, Kick, or YouTube, and share via TikTok LIVE as a backup.
