Creator Studio: overlays, comment audio and your network

Verify your TikTok profile

Creator Studio stays locked until the bio-code check proves you own your TikTok account. This applies to all creators, including existing and Paid accounts, and protects your overlays, AI credits and network connection.

Your TikTok profile must be public so its bio can be read. The code lasts 30 minutes. Closing the modal or leaving the page stops the checks; open Check profile again and click Verify to restart. TikTok may take a short time to publish a saved bio, or temporarily block profile reads.

We store the permanent TikTok creator ID and verified username, then connect a unique matching network creator record. If several networks match or the imported ID conflicts, your network connection needs review. Changing your username locks Studio again until you prove it belongs to the same permanent TikTok account. A TikTok account can be linked to only one Studio login.

Exactly two creator plans

Free includes 100 comments authorised for speech in each actual TikTok LIVE room and one simple like-counting overlay. It also includes the dashboard and any verified network resources your network makes available. You do not need a network to use Creator Studio.

Paid costs $5 USD per month and includes every overlay, unlimited comment speech and unlimited gift alerts. There is no creator trial or third tier. Network-owner subscriptions remain separate.

Settings & plan opens PayPal checkout when creator billing is configured. Paid access starts after the server verifies the correct subscription and a collected payment. If payment confirmation is delayed, use Refresh billing status. Cancelling returns the studio to Free immediately and stops future payments; the cancellation section states this before the action. Unavailable checkout does not stop Free access.

Understand your LIVE counters

Live viewers means people watching now, not total unique views. Peak viewers is the highest audience observed by the studio. Likes use TikTok’s cumulative total when available and otherwise count captured taps.

Total gifts counts gift units, including the quantity in a completed gift streak; diamonds are displayed separately. Gift totals cover captured activity, not gifts sent before the studio began observing the room. Refreshing, switching overlays or reconnecting does not reset stored totals for the same room. Starting a genuinely new TikTok LIVE room starts new totals.

Preview and Test animation use clearly labelled local demo values. They do not connect to TikTok, send gifts, change real counters or consume comment allowances.

Customise and share browser sources safely

The library includes The like counter, In the room, Tap to the top, Gift glow, A moment for you and All eyes on LIVE. Free accounts can preview Paid styles; saving or running them requires Paid access.

Set an accent colour and Glass, Solid or Minimal style. Like goals accept a target between 1 and 1,000,000,000. Gift alerts offer a soft sound. Animation settings and your device’s reduced-motion preference are respected. Saved browser sources pick up setting changes within 45 seconds.

Browser source links are private bearer links. They expose the selected overlay’s public LIVE activity, never dashboard access or private network records. Replace private link revokes that old link and reconnects studio clients; paste the replacement into streaming software. Multiple sources reuse a pooled TikTok connection.

When a LIVE is offline, sources display a waiting message and retry automatically. A revoked link or a Paid overlay without Paid access stops. Browser audio may need enabling in your streaming software before gift sounds play.

Use comment audio

Choose a browser voice and speed in the stream room. Test voice plays a sample without spending your allowance. Settings & plan saves the default speech speed; the stream-room voice selection applies to the current page.

The server reserves Free speech allowance against your account and TikTok room before delivering each comment for playback. Refreshing, reconnecting, or opening another tab cannot replenish it. One speaking tab receives each authorised event. Browser failure, clearing the queue or turning audio off does not refund reserved comments.

Audio uses browser speech synthesis. No microphone is required. Keep the dashboard tab open and audio enabled. Clear audio queue stops pending speech. On extremely busy chats the oldest queued comments are skipped after 100 waiting comments so the queue stays bounded; Paid removes the per-stream allowance, not the browser’s playback speed.

Connect your network

Your studio automatically checks your saved TikTok username against active creators in active network-owner accounts. Case and an optional @ are ignored. One available matching network brings its published hub, resources, games and scenes into Your network automatically. If several networks match, use a private creator link to connect the right one.

For personal stats, schedules and coaching, paste your manager-issued private LIVE Coach link or token. Your saved TikTok username must match that creator’s canonical network record. The bio code proves TikTok ownership; a public username match finds shared tools. Personal coaching data still requires the manager-issued private invitation.

A valid link shows your own latest imported monthly diamonds, LIVE hours and days, up to 24 months of performance history, earned diamond badges, weekly coaching progress, goals, manager, schedule, and notes your team chose to share. Both existing monthly import sources are supported; overlapping monthly records are not added together. Internal coaching notes, other creators and network administration remain private.

Available network resources can include the resource library, network hub, games center, sleep LIVE scenes, tournaments, campaigns and support. Destinations depend on the network’s enabled modules and published resources. Open my LIVE Coach lets you check in, log a LIVE, and update your existing goals and schedule.

Private access is rechecked when you use the network dashboard or coaching portal. Membership removal, portal disabling, replacing the private link, network suspension or loss of required access removes that private connection. Changing your TikTok username removes the saved link and updates the automatic match on your next page load. Disconnect network removes private access; shared tools may still appear through username matching. A changed TikTok username needs a new ownership check before Studio tools unlock again.

Account recovery and setup failures

Use Creator Studio’s own login and Forgot password pages. Password reset links expire after 30 minutes and can be used once. The platform’s outbound email service must be configured. Changing or resetting your password signs out other studio sessions; saved browser-source links remain available.

If a LIVE will not connect, confirm your TikTok username and that the creator is currently LIVE. The studio waits between retries. Platform administrators can pause the existing reader or limit room capacity. A database or provider error must be resolved before live counters can resume.

Paid checkout may show Checkout is being prepared until the platform operator configures its separate $5 USD PayPal plan and verified webhook. No payment or plan upgrade is simulated.
