You can stream to TikTok directly from Meld Studio by adding TikTok as an output. Setting up TikTok works in two parts: you log in to connect your TikTok account, and you enter your Stream Server and Stream Key so Meld Studio can broadcast.
Logging in brings your TikTok activity into Meld Studio. Your TikTok live chat appears in the chat dock in real time, right alongside your Twitch, YouTube, and Kick chats, and your follows and gifts show up in the activity feed. Built-in widgets like Chat, Activity Feed, and Goals react to it too. The Stream Server and Stream Key are what actually send your video to TikTok.
Check Your TikTok Access
Section titled “Check Your TikTok Access”Confirm these separately in your TikTok account:
- LIVE eligibility: Check the requirements TikTok currently shows for your account and region. See TikTok's LIVE help.
- External streaming access: Confirm that TikTok provides a Stream Server URL and Stream Key. Access to LIVE in the mobile app does not by itself confirm that these credentials are available.
- Chat and events: Connecting TikTok in Meld Studio is separate from entering broadcast credentials. Event availability also depends on the connected account and the live broadcast.
If your account does not show a server URL and stream key, check TikTok's available streaming options or contact TikTok support. Meld Studio cannot grant this access, and a follower count alone does not confirm that it is available.
Add TikTok as an Output
Section titled “Add TikTok as an Output”- Navigate to
Settings → General → Streaming Outputs. You can also open the Outputs panel in the top-right corner. - Click the ╋ Add output button and select TikTok from the list of available outputs.

- After you authorize access, you are redirected back to Meld Studio and your TikTok handle appears in the Stream Service field, confirming the connection.
When the connection receives supported events from your live broadcast:
- Your TikTok live chat appears in the chat dock, alongside Twitch, YouTube, and Kick in one unified view.
- Your follows and gifts appear in the activity feed.
- Built-in widgets like Chat, Activity Feed, and Goals react to your TikTok activity.
Add Your Stream Server and Stream Key
Section titled “Add Your Stream Server and Stream Key”To broadcast to TikTok, enter your Stream Server URL and Stream Key in the output settings.
- Open the streaming tools TikTok makes available to your account and locate its Stream Server URL and Stream Key. The video below shows one workflow; the available controls can differ for your account.
- Paste the URL into the Stream Server field.
- Paste the key into the Stream Key field.
Go Live
Section titled “Go Live”- Confirm your TikTok account is connected and your Stream Server and Stream Key are filled in.

A confirmation appears in Meld Studio once your stream is live and stable. To end the broadcast, follow the steps in Going Live.
What does logging in to TikTok do?
Section titled “What does logging in to TikTok do?”Logging in connects your TikTok account so your live chat appears in the chat dock, and your follows and gifts appear in the activity feed. Built-in widgets like Chat, Activity Feed, and Goals react to your TikTok activity. Logging in does not provide your Stream Server or Stream Key, which you still enter yourself.
Do I need to enter a Stream Server and Stream Key manually?
Section titled “Do I need to enter a Stream Server and Stream Key manually?”Yes. For this Meld Studio output, copy the credentials TikTok provides to your account and enter them in the output settings. Connecting your TikTok account for chat does not fill in the broadcast credentials.
Do I need a certain number of followers to stream to TikTok?
Section titled “Do I need a certain number of followers to stream to TikTok?”TikTok determines LIVE eligibility and access to external streaming tools. Check TikTok's current LIVE requirements and the options shown in your account. Do not assume that meeting a follower threshold grants a stream key. Chat and event access are separate from broadcast credentials.
Why is my TikTok chat not showing up right away?
Section titled “Why is my TikTok chat not showing up right away?”- Confirm that your TikTok broadcast is live and the connected handle in Meld Studio is the correct account.
- Check whether messages appear on TikTok itself and whether Meld Studio reports a connection error.
- If messages reach TikTok but not Meld Studio, contact support with your Meld version, the time of the issue, and the error message. Include whether the broadcast has age or audience restrictions. Do not share your stream key.
A successful login alone does not confirm delivery of every chat message or event. Support can use these details to distinguish an account-access issue from a connection or integration problem.
Can I stream to TikTok and other platforms at the same time?
Section titled “Can I stream to TikTok and other platforms at the same time?”Yes. Meld Studio supports streaming to more than one platform at once. See Multistream for details.
