For TikTok LIVE, YouTube and Twitch

TikTok LIVE interactive games your viewers control

Turn gifts, likes, follows and comments into in-game actions. StreamEmber links your stream to games that react in under a second, and installs everything with one click on your Windows PC.

What are TikTok LIVE interactive games?

TikTok LIVE interactive games are games your viewers control during a live stream: every gift, like, follow or comment they send triggers an action on screen, such as spawning an enemy, boosting a team or starting a new round. You play or host, and your audience decides what happens next.

Instead of watching passively, viewers become players. That changes the rhythm of a stream: people stay to see what their action did, the chat gets busier and gifts have a visible purpose. Each action appears with the viewer's name, so whoever sent it gets credit in front of everyone.

StreamEmber brings these games to your stream through the free StreamEmber Launcher for Windows. It reads the public events of your TikTok LIVE, YouTube Live or Twitch stream and passes them to the game. Every game ships with ready-made mappings, and you decide which event does what. To see which gifts exist and how many coins they cost, check the TikTok gift list.

How it works

How TikTok LIVE interactive games work

Three things happen between a viewer's tap and the reaction on your stream, usually in less than a second.

  1. 1

    Viewers send gifts, likes and comments

    Your audience interacts the way they already do on TikTok LIVE: sending a gift, tapping like, following or typing in chat. Viewers do not need to install anything.

  2. 2

    StreamEmber maps the event to an action

    The launcher receives the public event and looks up its mapping: this gift spawns a boss, that comment puts the viewer on a team. You can edit, add or remove mappings in the launcher.

  3. 3

    The game reacts instantly

    The action runs in the game with the viewer's name on screen. Everyone watching sees who caused it, which encourages the next viewer to join in.

Which event does what?

A typical setup scales the effect with the value of the event. These are general examples: every game ships with its own mappings, and you can change each one.

Coin values are set by TikTok and can differ by region. See our TikTok gift list for current values.

What do you need to stream interactive games on TikTok LIVE?

The setup is short, and most streamers are ready in a few minutes:

  • A Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) PC. The StreamEmber Launcher runs on Windows only.
  • TikTok LIVE Studio or OBS. Capture the game window in LIVE Studio, or stream from OBS with a stream key.
  • LIVE access on your TikTok account. TikTok sets the requirements, such as a minimum age, and may change them by region. See TikTok's LIVE help page.
  • The StreamEmber Launcher. Download it for free, sign in, choose a game and install it with one click. Games, mods and their components update themselves.

Then connect your stream in the launcher and start the game; it begins reacting to your LIVE right away. For a full walkthrough, follow our guide to your first interactive stream.

Can you play TikTok LIVE games on your phone?

Yes, with some games. A few of our interactive games also run on Android phones, so you can host a game straight from your phone without a PC or streaming software. The idea stays the same: viewers send gifts, likes and comments, and the game reacts on screen.

GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Minecraft mods need a Windows PC, because those games run there. Browse the interactive games to find the ones that fit your setup.

TikTok LIVE interactive games: frequently asked questions

Are StreamEmber's TikTok LIVE games free?

Your account and the launcher are free. Games are part of Premium: every new account gets 3 days of Premium free, after that Premium costs 30 USD for 30 days and you can cancel anytime.

Can interactive games get me banned on TikTok?

StreamEmber only reads the public events of your stream and does not control your TikTok account. Your stream still has to follow TikTok's Community Guidelines. Use GTA 5 and RDR2 mods only in story mode, never in GTA Online or Red Dead Online.

Do I need OBS?

No. You can capture the game directly in TikTok LIVE Studio. OBS works too if you stream with a stream key.

Does it work with TikTok LIVE Studio?

Yes. Capture the game window in LIVE Studio. StreamEmber overlays such as goal bars and leaderboards also work there as browser sources.

Do my viewers need to download anything?

No. Viewers play through TikTok as usual, with gifts, likes, follows and comments. Only the streamer installs the launcher.

Which platforms are supported?

TikTok LIVE, YouTube Live and Twitch; Kick and Facebook are in beta. On YouTube, Super Chats, Super Stickers and memberships can trigger actions; on Twitch, bits and subscriptions.

Does StreamEmber work on Mac?

No. The launcher is a Windows 10/11 64-bit app and there is no Mac or Linux version. Some of our games run on Android phones instead.

Do I need a powerful PC?

For our own games, a typical streaming PC is enough. For GTA 5, RDR2 and Minecraft mods, your PC needs to meet that game's own requirements while you stream.

Can I change which gift does what?

Yes. Every game comes with ready-made mappings, and in the launcher you can link any gift, like, follow or comment to any action, or add and remove mappings.

Do you need my TikTok password?

No. StreamEmber never asks for your TikTok password. It only reads the public events of your LIVE.

Do I have to join the agency to use StreamEmber?

No. Anyone can use the launcher and the games. Joining the StreamEmber agency is optional and adds coaching, reward campaigns and free Premium.

How fast do actions show up in the game?

Usually in under a second after a viewer sends a gift, like or comment, with the viewer's name shown on screen.
