How to Add Your Game to TikTok Studio (The Right Way)
Ready to set up your interactive stream? Many guides mention "Browser Sources," but our system is simpler and more reliable. You don't need a special URL. This guide shows you how to add your game to TikTok LIVE Studio and connect the TiktokBox app.
Step 1: Run the TiktokBox App (The "Engine")
This is the most important step. Before you go live, open your TiktokBox software and log in.
This app is the "engine" that connects your stream. It runs in the background, securely reads your LIVE gifts, and deducts points from your balance (1 Diamond = 1 Point). It's what tells your game to trigger an effect.
Just leave this app running in the background.
Step 2: Add Your Game to TikTok Studio
Now, let's make your game visible to your audience. We will not use a "Browser Source." We will capture the game itself.
- Open **TikTok LIVE Studio**.
- In your scene, click the **"Add Source"** button.
- Choose "Game Capture". This is the best method if your game (like Starcraft 2 or Dota 2) runs in fullscreen.
- In the properties, select your game from the dropdown list. If it's not listed, try "Select specific window" and find the game's .exe file.
- If "Game Capture" doesn't work: Some games work better with **"Window Capture"**. Repeat the steps, but choose this source instead and select the game's window.
- Click "Add Source" and resize the game window to fit your stream layout.
Step 3: Go LIVE!
That's it! As long as:
- The TiktokBox App is running in the background.
- Your Game is visible on your stream (from the "Game Capture" source).
...our system will handle the rest automatically. When a viewer sends a gift, the TiktokBox App will see it, deduct the correct points, and instantly trigger the effect in your game.
Why is this better?
You don't need to copy-paste messy URLs. By using our dedicated app and a direct "Game Capture," the connection is more stable and reliable. This is why our system works seamlessly for TikTok, unlike other tools that rely on buggy browser sources.
