🖥 Step 2: Set Up OBS with SE Live

Download OBS and create a new profile and scene collection.
Use the Auto Configuration Wizard:
- Set resolution to 1920x1080, 60fps.
- Enable hardware encoding, set bitrate to 6000.
Create two scenes:
- Just Chatting (full camera)
- Gaming/Display (screen capture + camera overlay)

🧩 Step 3: Install SE Live Plugin

Download SE Live from the StreamElements site.
Install the plugin (close OBS first).
When prompted, connect your YouTube account (Google login makes this easy).
Launch the multistream setup wizard and connect TikTok LIVE (no stream key needed).

🧭 Step 4: Set Up Scenes for Vertical Streaming

Create vertical versions of your existing scenes:
- Just Chatting Vertical
- Gaming Display Vertical
Arrange your webcam and screen capture vertically.
Link vertical and landscape scenes so switching is synced.

🎉 Step 5: Add TikFinity Alerts

TikFinity allows you to display TikTok LIVE alerts like:

🧡 Follows
🎁 Gifts
❤️ Likes
⭐ Subs

To set it up:

Login with TikTok on TikFinity.
Use their Quick Setup to import predefined alerts.
Copy the provided URL and add it in OBS as a browser source.
Place it where you want in both vertical and landscape scenes.

💡 Customize your alerts! Add your personal flair to stand out from the crowd.

💬 Step 6: Add Chat with Casterlabs

Since SE Live doesn’t support TikTok chat yet, use Casterlabs:

Download it from casterlabs.co (no .com).
Connect TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, or Kick.
In OBS, go to Docs > Custom Browser Docs, paste in the chat URL.
Name it something like “Multistream Chat” and dock it where you want.

🔴 Step 7: Go Live!

In OBS/SE Live, hit Start Streaming.
Select platforms you want to go live on (TikTok, YouTube, etc.).
Optional: If using a stream key, set it up in Canvas Settings > Outputs via RTMP.

💎 Final Tips for Success

Customize your look: Add webcam borders, animated overlays, and themes.
Link scenes for seamless vertical/landscape switching.
Test alerts and chat before going live.
Join the Live Success Academy (offered by the video creator) for deeper learning, community support, and a TikFinity discount.
