TikTok: restream with RTMP

Broadcast your LiveMeUp live event on your store and on your TikTok account at the same time.


Note: This guide is for TikTok LIVE, not TikTok Shop. Viewers watch on TikTok, but products are not shoppable inside TikTok. Orders happen on your Shopify store.


Before you start


  • LiveMeUp Scale plan. RTMP restreaming is only available on Scale.
  • TikTok LIVE access. Your account must be 18+, have at least 1,000 followers (this varies by region), and be in good standing.
  • TikTok stream key (RTMP) access. This is a separate permission that TikTok grants to some accounts only. In the US, non-gaming accounts generally need 10,000+ followers.
  • Your setup. An iPhone 15 or newer and an upload speed of at least 10 Mbps.


Check if you have stream key access


  1. On a computer, log in at tiktok.com.
  2. Look for Go LIVE in the left menu.
  3. If you see it: you have access. Skip to the setup steps.
  4. If you don't see it: TikTok hasn't enabled RTMP for your account. See the next section.


Don't have stream key access?


TikTok decides who gets access. LiveMeUp can't request it for you, and approval isn't guaranteed.


  • Apply to TikTok. Use TikTok's PC LIVE access application. Have these ready:
    • A link to your main live channel on another platform, such as Facebook, Instagram or YouTube
    • Your average number of concurrent viewers
    • Screenshots proving you own the TikTok account
  • If refused, you can reapply after 14 days.
  • Or go through a TikTok LIVE agency. Some agencies (Creator Networks) can request access for you. They are independent companies, not part of TikTok.


Set up the restream


1. Get your TikTok stream key


  • On a computer, go to tiktok.com and click Go LIVE. This opens TikTok LIVE Center.
  • Add a title and category, then click Save & Go LIVE.
  • You are not live yet. TikTok now shows your Server URL and Stream Key. Keep this tab open.


2. Open the Multistream tab of your live event


  • In Shopify, go to Apps → LiveMeUp Live Shopping → Live events.
  • Open your live event and click the Multistream tab.



3. Add TikTok as an RTMP destination


  • Check Other RTMP destination.
  • Paste TikTok's Server URL into Stream URL account 1.
  • Paste TikTok's Stream Key into Stream key account 1.
  • Click Save at the top of the page.



4. Go live


  • Start your live event in LiveMeUp as usual.
  • Check the preview in TikTok LIVE Center to confirm your stream is coming through.


5. End the show


  • End your live event in LiveMeUp.
  • Then end the LIVE in TikTok LIVE Center.


⚠️ Your TikTok stream key changes every session. Before each show, generate a new key in TikTok LIVE Center and update Stream key account 1 in LiveMeUp. Never share your key: anyone who has it can stream to your account.


FAQ


Can viewers buy on TikTok during my live?
No. Restreaming to TikTok LIVE is not TikTok Shop. Purchases happen on your Shopify store.


I can go live on my phone, but I don't see Go LIVE on desktop. Why?
Phone LIVE access and stream key access are separate permissions. Your account has the first but not the second. See "Don't have stream key access?" above.


Can I use TikTok LIVE Studio instead?
LIVE Studio is TikTok's own desktop app. LiveMeUp connects through a stream key, so you need stream key access specifically.


I don't see "Other RTMP destination" in the Multistream tab.
RTMP restreaming requires the Scale plan. Check your plan at the top right of the Multistream tab.


My TikTok stream didn't start, or it cut out.

  • Make sure you pasted a fresh stream key from this session, and that you clicked Save.
  • Check that your upload speed is at least 10 Mbps.


Which LiveMeUp plan do I need?
Scale.
