TikTok Gift Mapping: Turn Gifts into Game Actions
Link every TikTok gift, like, follow, share or comment to an action in your game. Each game comes with ready-made mappings you can change in the StreamEmber Launcher.
What is TikTok gift mapping?
TikTok gift mapping connects an event on your live stream to an action in your game. You decide which gift, like, follow, share or comment triggers which in-game action. When a viewer sends that gift, the action runs in under a second and shows the viewer's name on screen, so everyone sees who did it.
Ready-made mappings with full control
Every StreamEmber game ships with default mappings, so you can go live straight away. In the launcher, each mapping is called an interaction: one platform event linked to one game action. You can change, remove or add interactions at any time, and add rules such as a delay, a cooldown, a queue or limits per viewer and per stream. Games are part of Premium; see StreamEmber pricing.
Not sure which gift is which? Our TikTok gift list helps you pick. Gift mapping works with TikTok LIVE, YouTube Live and Twitch; Kick and Facebook are in beta. To trigger the same action from another platform, add a separate interaction for it.
