How To Stream to TikTok with Switcher
There are a couple of things that you need before you can stream to TikTok with Switcher Studio. First of all, you will need to have at least 1000+ followers. TikTok only allows users with at least that amount of followers to livestream.
Once you have hit that follower goal, then you will need to reach out to TikTok for access to stream key information for 3rd party streaming apps. TikTok grants that access to users individually, and it is not automatic. You will need to reach out to their support team to be granted access.
If you are given access, you will need to use Custom RTMP to stream to Tiktok. You will need 2 RTMP values from Tiktok to stream:
- Server URL
- Stream Key / Stream ID
Once you have these two parameters, you set up a Custom RTMP channel within Switcher to stream to the platform.
Setting up Custom RTMP with Switcher Studio
Custom RTMP can be configured directly in the Switcher Studio App or by using the Switcher Studio online Dashboard. The benefit to setting up RTMP in the Switcher Studio Dashboard is that you can use any internet-connected device, including computers, making it easier to copy and paste RTMP parameters into the Dashboard.
