Make TikTok LIVE events part of your stream
Add an animated virtual pet overlay that reacts to TikTok LIVE gifts, follows, likes, shares, chat, and viewer joins in TikTok LIVE Studio, OBS, or Streamlabs.
What is a TikTok LIVE overlay?
Turn TikTok LIVE activity into visible reactions
Each supported event can use its own character animation and message, so small interactions and major gift moments do not need to look the same.
| Event | Example | Overlay response |
|---|---|---|
| Gift | Rose, Galaxy, or another LIVE gift | Map gifts or gift values to different animations |
| Follow | A viewer follows during the LIVE | Play a welcome, clap, heart, or invite reaction |
| Like | Likes or like milestones | Celebrate engagement without a full-screen interruption |
| Share | A viewer shares the LIVE | Thank viewers who help distribute the stream |
| Chat | Supported chat activity | Use a character response for community moments |
| Viewer join | A member enters the LIVE room | Give new arrivals a visible welcome |

Does StreamRio work with TikTok LIVE Studio?
Yes. Add the private StreamRio overlay URL as a Link source in TikTok LIVE Studio and keep the source background transparent.
