Once downloaded, users can log in with their TikTok account and stream. The software also lets you communicate with viewers through the chat feature. It supports streaming in both landscape and portrait.TikTok Live Studio can stream games from desktops, mobile devices, and cameras.
TikTok Live Studio is desktop software. So, it will be direct competition against other popular live gaming streaming platforms such as Twitch, YouTube Gaming, and Facebook Gaming.
It is not clear when TikTok will officially release the software. When it becomes widely available, it will have to compete well because rivals are big. Twitch enjoys the majority of the market share.
