How to Stream a Prerecorded Video on TikTok (Simple)
Streaming pre-recorded videos on TikTok Live is a great way to share high-quality, edited content with your audience. However, TikTok prefers real-time engagement, so always ensure you're following the platform's guidelines to avoid any potential issues. Here's how you can stream pre-recorded videos on TikTok Live using OBS or other streaming tools. First, *check your eligibility**—TikTok generally requires at least **1,000 followers* to access the Live feature. If you don’t meet this requirement, you won’t be able to stream. Next, *prepare your video* by recording and editing it in *vertical (9:16) format* to ensure it looks good on TikTok. Once you're satisfied with your video, save the final version to your computer. To stream the video as a live broadcast, *download a streaming tool* like *OBS Studio* or **Streamlabs**. These programs allow you to play pre-recorded videos as a live stream. If you have access to **TikTok Live Studio**, you can use that as well. If you're using **OBS**, follow these steps: 1. Open OBS and go to *Settings Stream* 2. Select *Custom* as the service and enter your *TikTok stream key* and *server URL* (found in TikTok Live Studio or requested through RTMP access) 3. Set the resolution to *1080x1920* (vertical) for a full-screen display 4. Add your pre-recorded video as a *Media Source* in OBS 5. Click **Start Streaming**, and your video will play live on TikTok If you prefer an alternative, websites like *TikFinity (j.1)* can help automate the process. Make sure to test everything before going live to avoid technical issues. By following these steps, you can engage your audience with polished content while still maintaining a "live" presence.
