TikTok is a heaven for live streamers all over the world but until now, you could do that only from your mobile. Gamers just got a breakthrough here because now you can use Logitech’s Streamlabs desktop app to stream directly on TikTok.

At the last year’s end, Streamlabs got the same feature to broadcast on Twitter (X) and Elon Musk demonstrated the feature himself playing Diablo IV.

Since then, gamers rushed to post their exploits on X and probably that’s going to happen with TikTok as well.

However, Streamlabs has some limitations for streaming on TikTok. The maximum video bitrate is 10Mbps and the maximum audio bitrate is 1Mbps. Logitech recommends a video bitrate of 8,000Kbps for 1080P streaming at 60FPS (the maximum possible resolution and frame rate) and 6000Kbps for 30FPS.

The good news is that there is no clip length limitation, but you should know that TikTok only supports H.264 encoders.
