TikTok LIVE Overlays for OBS & LIVE Studio
Goal bars, top gifters, alerts, event feeds and more. Each overlay has a personal link you add to OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio as a browser source.
What is a TikTok LIVE overlay?
A TikTok LIVE overlay is a small web page that sits on top of your stream and reacts to what viewers do. It can show a gift goal, the top gifters or an alert when someone follows. StreamEmber overlays are added as a browser source in OBS or in TikTok LIVE Studio and update live during your stream.
TikTok LIVE overlay types
- Goal bar: progress toward a shared goal.
- Top gifters and top likers: leaderboards of your biggest supporters.
- Top gifts: the gifts sent most in your stream.
- Alerts: on-screen notices for gifts, follows and other events.
- Welcome screen and event feed: a greeting and a running list of recent events.
- Multi-chat: chat messages shown on your stream.
- Gift battle and PK widgets: show who is ahead in a battle.
One personal link per overlay
In the StreamEmber Launcher you pick an overlay, choose a style, customize it and copy its personal link. Overlays use your active profile. If a link ever leaks, create a new one and update it in OBS or LIVE Studio. Want the same gifts to change your game too? See TikTok gift mapping, and compare plans on the pricing page.
