Master TikTok LIVE Manager: Stream, Engage, and Sell Like a Pro from Your Desktop
Want to take your TikTok LIVE sessions up a notch? With TikTok LIVE Manager, creators can run their streams straight from a desktop—unlocking more control over camera sources, product showcases, and real-time audience engagement tools.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know to run a smooth, interactive LIVE session using LIVE Manager. From starting your stream and managing products, to running giveaways and tracking engagement, you’ll get the full toolkit to keep viewers entertained and boost your sales.
Getting Started: Two Ways to Go LIVE
1. Starting From Your Phone
Log into LIVE Manager with the same TikTok Shop account you use on your phone. Open the TikTok app, tap the + button, scroll to LIVE, and hit Go LIVE.
On your desktop, the LIVE Manager center screen will show you when the stream is connected and ready—giving you control of your settings from the computer while your phone handles the camera.
2. Starting Directly From Your Desktop
Open the LIVE dashboard or access your scheduled event console on your desktop. Select Go LIVE, then pick your preferred camera and audio sources—your computer webcam, an external camera, or even OBS LIVE Camera for a polished video feed.
Once live, you can switch to mobile to pin products or manage promotions—just make sure to end your desktop stream first to avoid conflicts.
Setting Up Scheduled LIVE Events
Planning ahead is key! Under the LIVE Events tab, find your scheduled event and click View Console to start when the time comes. Choose your video and audio sources, then hit Go LIVE to begin.
Add and Manage Products in Your Shopping Bag
Product showcases are essential for engagement. To add products in LIVE Manager:
Click the + button to add items—your selections appear in the left panel for quick access.
If sellers grant you Exclusive Inventory, select Add exclusive stock to allocate it to your LIVE.
Use drag-and-drop to reorder products, search to find items fast, refresh to update, or delete products you no longer want.
During your stream, pin products to spotlight them and encourage viewers to shop.
Boost Engagement with LIVE Giveaways
Giveaways are a fun way to keep viewers hooked. Sellers need to allocate giveaways in advance, so coordinate with them early!
To run a giveaway:
Open the LIVE Giveaway panel and click + to select giveaway products.
Set how many winners and how many items per winner.
Choose participation rules: viewers comment a keyword, follow you, or simply join during a countdown timer.
Accept terms and click Create—your giveaway is now ready to launch!
Use LIVE Billboards to Share Key Info
Billboards display messages like discounts or product highlights in real time. To set up:
Visit the Billboard tab, pick a template, and customize the text.
Use 1 or 2 billboards at a time to keep your stream clean and focused.
Update messages as needed throughout your LIVE.
For custom images, upload files at least 480x360 pixels.
Monitor Compliance with the Violations Tab
Keep your stream safe and smooth by checking the Violations tab during your broadcast. Quickly spot and address any issues that may arise.
Stay Connected with Your Audience
When your stream starts from your phone, your desktop LIVE Manager stays perfectly synced, showing comments, orders, and engagement live.
Reply to comments and pin favorites to highlight key conversations.
Open the Activity Feed to monitor orders, gifts, giveaways, and follows—all filterable and adjustable for easy reading.
Check the LIVE Diagnosis tab for tips if viewer traffic dips or engagement slows.
Pro Tips for Using LIVE Manager
Start smart: Desktop streaming offers better video and audio control. Use webcams, external cameras, or OBS for top quality.
Engage actively: Reply to comments, highlight viewer activity, and acknowledge orders in real time to deepen connections.
Promote dynamically: Pin products, run giveaways, and check LIVE Diagnosis for on-the-fly engagement ideas.
