StreamLive ProHow to go live on Facebook and TikTok at the same time
Go live on a Facebook Page and TikTok at the same time from a computer: the Page connects once, TikTok takes a fresh key per session, and one upload feeds both.
To go live on Facebook and TikTok at the same time, connect your Facebook Page to StreamLive Pro once, and before each broadcast paste a fresh TikTok server URL and stream key. Tick the Page and TikTok and press start. StreamLive Pro creates the live video on the Page by itself and shows its comments next to your studio; on TikTok, press Go LIVE if TikTok asks. The Facebook destination is a Page you manage, not a personal profile or a group. Two destinations fit in the 7-day trial.
Before you start
- A Facebook Page you manage. You need a role on the Page that lets you go live on it (Meta Business Help: Go live with streaming software).
- TikTok must have given your account a stream key. TikTok decides who can stream from a computer, says its access requirements may vary by country or region, and may withdraw trial access if you do not go live enough in the first week (TikTok LIVE Studio: FAQ). Its LIVE Safety Guide says you must be at least 18 to go LIVE (TikTok LIVE Safety Guide).
- A fresh TikTok key each time. TikTok keys change between sessions; plan to copy one shortly before every live.
- A StreamLive Pro account. The browser studio covers this pair on every plan and in the trial. OBS or vMix as the source needs a paid plan (see the /pricing?lang=en page).
Steps
- Connect Facebook. On Connections click Connect on the Facebook card and sign in on Facebook's screen. When Facebook asks which Pages to allow, tick the Page you want. With several Pages, click Manage pages on the card and pick the ones to use.
- Get the TikTok key. In TikTok, start a LIVE with streaming software and copy the Server URL and the Stream key.
- Paste the TikTok key. The first time, add TikTok Live on Connections. Later broadcasts ask for the new key in one step when you go live, and the channel shows "Key ready" once it is saved.
- Open the studio. Click New stream and pick Browser Studio, or Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT) on a paid plan.
- Tick both and give Facebook its text. In the Channels list tick the Facebook Page and TikTok. Click the Page to give Facebook its own title, description and thumbnail.
- Go live. Press Start stream. The live video appears on the Page a few seconds later.
- Press Go LIVE in TikTok if it asks. Some TikTok setups go public only after you press Go LIVE there once the picture arrives.
- End. Press Stop stream, and end the TikTok LIVE if it is still open.
Landscape for Facebook, upright for TikTok
Facebook viewers often watch landscape; TikTok is watched on upright phones. Both receive the same picture, because StreamLive Pro does not make a separate vertical version. The browser studio sends 16:9: keep faces and text inside the 9:16 safe-frame guide so TikTok viewers see them (Safe-zone guides for vertical and square viewers). If TikTok is your main audience, send a vertical picture from an encoder on a paid plan; Facebook then receives the vertical picture too.
Comments during the live
Facebook Page comments appear in the chat next to the player, and you can reply from there (Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel). TikTok live comments are not read inside StreamLive Pro: keep the TikTok app open on a phone next to you.
What can go wrong
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The Page is not in the list | The Page was not ticked on Facebook's approval screen | Reconnect Facebook and tick the Page. See My Facebook Page is not in the list |
| No stream key option in TikTok | TikTok has not given your account access | Only TikTok can change that. Stream to the Page alone meanwhile |
| "New key needed" on the TikTok channel | The key belongs to the last session | Start a new LIVE in TikTok and paste the new key |
| Facebook is live, TikTok stays dark | TikTok waits for Go LIVE, or the key expired | Press Go LIVE in TikTok; if it stays dark, take a new key |
| Facebook does not start | The Facebook permission ended | Reconnect Facebook. See My Facebook live does not start |

After the live
Shorts are cut from the broadcast automatically unless you switched that off. They can go to the Facebook Page now or on a schedule. TikTok takes posts only when you publish them yourself from the Publish screen, one at a time: TikTok posts cannot be scheduled. See Post a video to TikTok from your computer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I go live on Facebook and TikTok at the same time from a computer?
Yes, if TikTok has given your account a stream key. Connect the Facebook Page once, paste a fresh TikTok key for each session, tick both and start.
Can I stream to my personal Facebook profile and TikTok?
The Facebook connection in StreamLive Pro streams to Pages you manage. Personal profiles and groups are not destinations for it.
Do I need a new TikTok key every time?
Yes. TikTok keys change between sessions, so paste the current key before each live.
Does streaming to both need double the upload?
No. You upload one stream to StreamLive Pro and the copies to Facebook and TikTok are made on our servers.
Can I reply to TikTok comments from StreamLive Pro?
No. Facebook Page comments appear in StreamLive Pro and you can reply to them. TikTok comments stay in TikTok.
