TikTok LIVE Studio is TikTok's own free desktop app for going live from a Windows or Mac computer: you download it from TikTok, log in with your TikTok account, connect a camera and microphone, and stream with a layout you control. Third-party software such as OBS can also connect, when TikTok makes that available to your account.

How do you sell on TikTok LIVE Studio?
LIVE Studio is TikTok’s own application for broadcasting from a computer, built and supported by TikTok rather than a third party. According to TikTok’s LIVE Studio Help Center, you install it, open it and log in with your TikTok account; if you already have LIVE access on the mobile app you can go straight in, otherwise you apply for access separately. The help articles describe three steps before you go live: choose the type of content you are streaming, connect your microphone and camera, then adjust video quality to match your internet connection and your computer’s hardware. If you already stream with another tool, LIVE Studio can import some of its settings so you are not starting from a blank layout. New accounts on LIVE Studio are expected to keep an early streaming habit: TikTok’s own FAQ describes going live for at least 25 minutes, twice in the first week, or losing access to the tool.
How do you go live on TikTok from a PC?
There are two official routes to TikTok LIVE from a computer: TikTok’s own LIVE Studio, or a third-party broadcasting tool connected through a stream key. LIVE Studio is the simpler route because it is built for TikTok specifically and needs only a TikTok login. A stream key connects any RTMP-capable software, OBS among them, directly to TikTok LIVE without TikTok’s own interface in between. Which route suits a selling live depends on how much control you want over scenes and overlays: LIVE Studio covers camera, microphone and a basic layout out of the box, while a third-party tool gives more control over multiple camera angles or a fixed graphic showing claim codes, at the cost of a more technical setup.
Can you go live on TikTok with OBS?
TikTok’s own LIVE Studio Help Center compares LIVE Studio with third-party tools like OBS directly: both connect to TikTok LIVE and neither changes how much reach your stream gets, but TikTok describes LIVE Studio as offering more information and content-safety features because TikTok built it. The help pages do not publish a fixed follower count or age threshold for streaming with OBS through a stream key: access depends on your account and can vary by country or region, and TikTok tells you whether you are eligible when you apply for it in the app. If your account is not yet eligible for a stream key, LIVE Studio remains available as TikTok’s own desktop option and does not require one.
What layout or template works for a selling live?
A selling live is not staged like a gaming stream: viewers need to read a claim code and a product clearly, not watch a full-screen game capture with a small facecam in the corner. A layout that works keeps the product camera large and steady, with good lighting on the fabric and any print or flaw visible, and a fixed area of the screen, a card, a whiteboard or a text overlay, showing the current claim code and size, so a viewer who joins mid-piece is not lost. Audio matters as much as picture: a clip-on or desk microphone close to you reads more clearly over comment notification sounds than a laptop’s built-in microphone. Whatever broadcasting tool you use, save this arrangement as a template so every live starts from the same layout instead of being rebuilt scene by scene.
Where do you download TikTok LIVE Studio?
LIVE Studio is downloaded from TikTok’s own site, at tiktok.com/studio/download, not from a third-party download site. The LIVE Studio Help Center confirms it supports both Windows and macOS computers. For Windows, TikTok’s published minimum specification is an Intel Core i3 9th generation or an AMD Ryzen 5 3000 series processor with 8GB of RAM; for Mac, it is an Apple M1 chip, or an Intel iMac or Mac mini with an i7 or i9 processor from 2019 or later, with 8 to 16GB of RAM depending on the chip. Meeting the minimum specification keeps the stream stable during a live where you cannot pause to restart a frozen app.
How LiveShopia does it
LiveShopia captures comments from your live and turns claim codes, sizes and colours into reservations no matter which tool you use to broadcast, LIVE Studio, OBS or the TikTok app on a phone. On Instagram, capture reads the comments through Meta’s official API; on TikTok LIVE, automatic capture is in progress, so the manual cockpit lets you add a reservation in two taps while you watch the same feed you are streaming from your PC.
