Going LIVE from your phone is easy. Going LIVE from your PC lets you add a better camera, games, overlays and alerts. For that you need TikTok LIVE Studio or a stream key for OBS.
A private code that connects streaming software like OBS to your TikTok account.
TikTok's own desktop app, which connects without a key.
Not every account has access to either one.
TikTok decides who gets access, based on its own rules. Joining an official Creator Network like GROW LIVE gives you a direct way to request it.
We check your account to see what you can access today.
We request access through our Creator Network channel when you qualify.
OBS or LIVE Studio scenes, camera, sound, overlays and gift alerts, together with you.
We test your first PC stream together, so nothing goes wrong on the day.
Approval is TikTok's decision and the timing varies. We can't promise a key to every creator, but we will tell you honestly where you stand.
Treat it like a password. Never post it or send it to anyone.
Keys can change between LIVEs. Always copy the current one from TikTok.
Think someone has your key? End the stream and tell your manager.
