If you are a TikTok creator who likes to focus on gaming content and game-centric live streams, then you need what’s called the TikTok Stream key.
This is a plug-in that connects your gaming screen with your TikTok Live – so that everything you do on the game can be live streamed to your audience on TikTok. Not only that, but the TikTok stream key seems to fast track your gaming content to a wider audience, meaning that new followers can discover you and your content while you are live – regardless of the size and scale of your existing following.
Here’s how to find the stream key and set it up to support your gaming content.
What is the Eligibility Criteria For a Stream Key?
In order to get a stream key for TikTok, you need to be over the age of 18, and you need to already have access to the live function on TikTok. This means that you also need to have 1,000 followers or more – as Live Streaming is reserved for those with more than 1,000 followers.
5 Steps to Find a Stream Key
- Open your TikTok account on a computer or PC device
- Tap to ‘Go Live’ – directing you to the producer page. At the bottom of this page, tap ‘Go Live’ again.
- Type a title for your stream and categorise it, then tap ‘Save and Go Live’
- On the live stream dashboard, you will then see your ‘Serve URL’ and ‘Stream Key’
- Copy your stream key to your clipboard, which you can then use to connect it with your gaming feed
And voila! This little stream key code is what gives you the power to create and share your gaming content live on TikTok.
We hope this helps – happy gaming!
