@@RyanSomerfield Really? I got to admit I've been liking doing a lot of the vertical stuff recently. It sort of presents a new challenge for how best to shoot / frame things 😂
@@AlexPettitt oh 100%, i say im not looking forward to it, its not that bad, It has been fun as a new challenge to get my head around, luckily this one is a simple 3 camera. just a shame to lose so much image when cropping center frame :( thats also super interesting that tik tok wants 25! thats pretty rare these days for streaming services! probably trying to save bandwidth :P
@@RyanSomerfield yeah got to admit I was super surprised with 25fps too when I got supplied the specs doc. I think it’s exactly that, do whatever they can to reduce bandwidth as they know if the stream buffers for a viewer once, they’ll just swipe away. And Ohhh! The Backup Stream is a really nice addition!
Hi Alex, My niece is trying to build an image as an Instagram influencer, and my nephew is very active on TikTok. I think this video will be the perfect source of inspiration for them. Thanks a lot for sharing this, I learned several tips that I will definitely pass on, and I will share this video with them to help them understand the process better too. I think it will be a great help for both of them. Thanks a lot for sharing this video!
How did you get the “Cast with Mac” option? At this point I only get the option of using “live studio”. I tried that, but I can’t fill the hole screen with my video in vertical. So I would like to use OBS with my Mac just like you do. Thanks!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How can I have horizontal and vertical streaming at the same time? Using atem mini extreme? I have restream subscription and I use obs only for graphics.
Nice video. The specs on Amazon for the black magic device says USB and thunderbolt compatible. However looking at the pictures I can only see the thunderbolt port (I know they look the same but they are obviously not the same in use). I have a PC so is ÜSB" going to work?
Great tutorial, can the Atem mini or others automatically switch between cameras, if streaming a playing guitarist how is he supposed to switch between cameras during the performance "look no hands" 😄? So automation would be handy
Do you have an update on TikTok? I have been trying this for a few days with little success. The app no longer supports the PC or cast option, it's the studio app on a PC. I can stream and see my cast in the web browser, but no stream keys/rmtp. Do you have any ideas on how I can now get the stream key address? Any ideas pls?
Appreciate this may come across as a silly question, but if I can directly plug my iPhone 15 pro into my MacBook with type c, and live stream vertically, what is the reason I need capture card type device ? I’m using obs combined with obs camera for live streams, but I want to start streaming to tiktok for djing so I’m looking for the best options.
Please help me! I want to play with MIDI keyboard and the settings is okay in the obs and logic pro but I can not to start the tiktok live. I can not to start on my iPhone 13 and on my MacBook Pro 16" either
Hey - great video! I only have a drop-down selection of resolutions available in the 'Output (Scaled) Resolution' in OBS, which are all 16:9. I can type in the 1080x1920 resolution manually for 'Base (Canvas) Resolution', but not the 'Output (Scaled) Resolution'... any thoughts!? I'm on Windows 11. (PS: Does the USB-C direct ATEM Mini output work okay into OBS on Windows 11 do you know? Thanks so much!!).
You don’t have to, you could go USB-C direct to OBS… but I personally like to use a capture card as I find the image quality to be a little better. I always find the USB-C output from the ATEM is more contrasy for example :) Hope this helps
I am seeing none of the options you show for TikTok. I have the ability to go live but it only shows device camera... Nothing else. And there is no Go Live button on the desktop TikTok App. Am I missing something?
can i use the software to share a live stream over several private websites? and to have the chats in each website group into one and allow for private only from the one it originated from?
Alex, thank u and I m glad that I found your video. I want to use OBS and GoPro 9 as a camera to stream on TikTok joining via pc like u did it on video. could you please help me? thank you.
Unfortunately not, there will always be latency. If you want your friend to join you on IG Live, I would look to bring them into your OBS production. Hope this helps
I have 143k followers on my tictok, been chasing after them for the streaming key the past 6 months and the poos havent given me it yet... I have Ticktok studio, altho is shit as it wont let me play the audio from OBS, usless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the go live on the desktop is'nt showing "go live" on mine!! sooooooo frustrating cos I'm a musician and need control for audio but can't live stream
Hi Alex, I like your content very much! Like 6 days ago I have used Streamon to test live streaming from my PC. After 2 times testing, I can't login to my instagram account for 6 days due to violation of copyright music/content. I have contacted instagram support and didn't get any respond. Also had googled to find solution but didn't get the specific case I have experienced. Seems there is no definitive resolution concerning this issue.
I now have over 1k of followers, but can't go live through my desktop to get a stream key? I am guessing that TikTok won't give you the key anymore? Is it worth contacting them?
Hi, Alex. love your content.. really thanks for the sharing. got question, are we allowed to go live simultaneously on intagram,tiktok,fb using obs. im really new here hope you may share some knowledge
Hey, yep there is nothing stopping you multicasting to multiple services at the same time. You can either do this direction from OBS or using a third party service like Restream :)
When you end the broadcast on FB Live, you should stop streaming on OBS instead. It will automatically stop the live on facebook. The downside of end live over facebook, is you might cut the last 10-30 seconds of delay.
@@anonymousamerican4580 alot of us do.. I reached out to tiktok and they told me to kick rocks because I didn't have a million views dancing with my shirt off like an idiot
Really? That's strange! I wonder if it's a geo-location thing? PS there is an option in the app to contact the team and submit a help message. I'd definitely try that, as I've sometimes been able to get features enable just by reaching out and asking :)
@@AlexPettitt Yeah I can't ever get her to care enough to look into it further haha. I played around with it for a while on her account but I could NOT get a stream key on her phone or on the browser.
@@AlexPettitt i wish i knew someone there so i can get a tiktok stream key also. at this point it will take for ever to build followers to get a key :(
Question for you: Do you prefer Horizontal live streams or Vertical ones? Let me know below ⬇
Say no to vertical video.. ;) got a tik tok event on the weekend.. not looking forward to it :)

Also apperently Tiktok have the ability to do a backup RTMP stream now which is a nice change! had fun complaining to the TikTok team about that :)

on tiktok on my phone when i switch from device camera, it doesnt say cast on pc/mmac it says mobile gaming. pls help
can you do multiple output specs? say you want landscape for RUclips and also send a vertical to TikTok at the same time?
It's not possible anymore to get the stream key and server on TT anymore, right? They only allow TikTok Studio for streaming ....
Too bad we don't have the GO LIVE button, not even the stream key :D
Hi Alex, your video was very informative thank you. Is there a way to live stream on all platforms at the same time?
You just saved me a couple bucks bro.. I appreciate this video!

I do have the problem where the OBS iPhone app doesn’t have an option to change aspect ratio to make full use of the iPhone screen
Big question... can you do a stream to multiple feeds; one stream to FB, TicTok, Twitter/X at one feed?
Please help me! I want to play with MIDI keyboard and the settings is okay in the obs and logic pro but I can not to start the tiktok live. I can not to start on my iPhone 13 and on my MacBook Pro 16" either
Such a fab video Alex ! Thanks
Awesome and clearly explained. Do we need third party like yellow duck etc for live stream ? or just OBS platform ? Thanks in advance
Great video! Thanks a bunch! Yes I have 1500+ followers but nothing that allows me to obtain the stream key either… I will try to contact them

Great Video Sir, really helpful. Thank you so much.
Maybe I heard wrong but why do you need a camlink between the Atem and OBS (2:45)?
You don’t have to, you could go USB-C direct to OBS… but I personally like to use a capture card as I find the image quality to be a little better. I always find the USB-C output from the ATEM is more contrasy for example :) Hope this helps
The only question I have is when going live on Tiktok through OBS can you still have multi guest on the stream from tiktok??
I am seeing none of the options you show for TikTok. I have the ability to go live but it only shows device camera... Nothing else. And there is no Go Live button on the desktop TikTok App.
Am I missing something?
SAME MAN
is it possible to synchronize live and tik tok and instagram from obs?
From chome on my mac I do not have the option to go live?
can i use the software to share a live stream over several private websites? and to have the chats in each website group into one and allow for private only from the one it originated from?
Hey Alex I think the tiktok live options have changed. You can no longer can go live using a Mac
Omg bro u are the best!!!
the only thing that show up under Go Live is Device Camera - doesn't give me the option of using my computer or OBS. Same with IG. Only FB does
Alex, thank u and I m glad that I found your video. I want to use OBS and GoPro 9 as a camera to stream on TikTok joining via pc like u did it on video. could you please help me? thank you.
Is there anyway to have zero stream delay? I wanted to have someone join me on instagram live but not sure it would work! thank you
Unfortunately not, there will always be latency. If you want your friend to join you on IG Live, I would look to bring them into your OBS production. Hope this helps

I just don't understand why it doesn't show me from the phone that it is only possible to go live from a Mac to a PC. :(
Not working at all, my live is not showing up on mobile nor pc Instagram and followed this to the letter
I don’t see a “Go Live Button” on TikTok desktop?….and no stream key. I can only go LIVE from my mobile device.
Any advice?
Tiktok only gave limited users this ability. This guy just never mentioned it because he's a cuck.
@@akiddray7831 So TikTok isn’t giving out stream keys anymore?

Idea: 🤔 connect the OBS output via a HDMI grabber (USB-C) back to the phone and using it as video source for Instagram?!?
Anyone tried this? Does it work?
My fiance's tiktok has over 200k followers and has for a year and half and STILL tiktok hasn't rolled out the "cast on PC/Mac/console" option to hers.

I can’t think of any reason why Instagram not officially support this.
I know right… but for now, they don’t want to :(
Agreed. It would help them keep up with Tik Tom’s numbers.
now answer the most dreaded question of all… how do you get a stream key because it is not as simple as it seems
I know right!! So I’ve recently had to do if for a few clients… and the answer seems to be, you need to know someone at TikTok.
@@AlexPettitt i wish i knew someone there so i can get a tiktok stream key also. at this point it will take for ever to build followers to get a key :(
Useless for 99% of TikTok creators who have RTMP disabled still for their livestreams.
U HAVE OVER 1K ON TIKTOK AND I DN'T SEE THIS OPTION
Instafeed keeps bouncing me back to login page
