ADD YOUR OVERLAY IN 2 MINUTES
Your overlay is a link. Any streaming app that can show a web page can show your overlay — you just paste the link in.
OBS Studio (Mac or Windows)
- In OBS, under Sources, click + → Browser.
- Name it LiveFlyer Overlay → OK.
- Paste your overlay link into URL (looks like
https://liveflyer.app/o/yourname-x7k2). - Set Width 1080 and Height 1920 for a vertical TikTok stream (or 1920×1080 for landscape).
- Click OK. The overlay appears over your camera — drag to position if needed.
TikTok Live Studio (Windows)
- Click Add source → Link (browser source).
- Paste your overlay link.
- Match the size to your canvas (1080×1920 vertical).
- Position it above your camera layer.
The Deck — a Stream Deck on your phone, or a panel inside OBS
Big buttons for everything you can fire by hand: your gift animations, sounds, entrances and the Live / Starting soon / BRB switch. It runs on any phone or tablet next to you, and the same link works as a dock inside OBS. Nothing to install, no sign-in on the phone.
Get the link
- On liveflyer.app → Overlays, open your overlay and expand 🎛 Controller (under your link).
- Tap 🎛 Get my Deck link. You get a link and a QR code.
On your phone
- Scan the QR code with your camera (or send yourself the link) and open it.
- iPhone: tap Share → Add to Home Screen. Android: tap Install when the bar appears (or ⋮ → Add to Home screen).
- Open it from your home screen: full-screen, no browser bar. Tap ☀︎ at the top to keep the screen on while you stream.
Inside OBS
- View → Docks → Custom Browser Docks…
- Dock name LiveFlyer, paste the link into URL, click Apply.
- The panel appears floating — drag it by its title bar onto any edge of OBS to snap it in. It remembers its place.
The link is private to that overlay — anyone who has it can fire your animations, so don't paste it in chat. Buttons update by themselves when you change your overlay. A green dot means your overlay is connected and you're live; a button shakes if the overlay isn't open in your stream software. TikTok LIVE Studio has no docks — use the phone.
Scenes
One link gives you three scenes — add each as its own browser source and switch between them:
- Live — your link as-is: frame, nameplate, goal bar.
- Starting soon — add
?scene=soonto the end of your link. - Be right back — add
?scene=brb.
Green-screen backgrounds
What they look like and why: animated green screen backgrounds for TikTok LIVE.
A background is a short scene that loops behind you — a neon room, a city window, deep space — made from a description in the builder (8 credits) or uploaded. It only shows when you are cut out of your camera: LIVE Studio's built-in cutout, a real green screen in OBS, or TikTok's phone Green Screen effect. On a computer it's a second link that reacts to gifts — it pulses, flashes and throws particles when someone sends, and sends a shockwave through the room on a big one. On a phone it's a file.
📱 Phone — TikTok app
- In the builder, under Green-screen background, tap ⬇ MP4 for phone and save it to your camera roll. (The "your background is ready" email has the same download.)
- Open TikTok → + → LIVE.
- Tap Effects, search Green Screen, pick the effect that lets you choose a video, and choose the MP4.
- Go live. It loops. It cannot react to gifts on a phone — TikTok's app gives it no way to know a gift landed.
🖥 TikTok LIVE Studio
- Select your camera source and turn on its background / cutout option (LIVE Studio removes the room behind you) — or use a physical green screen with the green-screen setting.
- In the builder, publish the overlay and copy the Background link (it ends in
?layer=bg). - Add source → Link → paste the Background link → size it to your canvas (1080×1920).
- Drag that source below your camera in the source list. Your normal overlay link stays above the camera.
- Add
&demo=1to the background link to watch it react to fake gifts before you go live.
🎥 OBS Studio
- Right-click your camera → Filters → + → Chroma Key (green screen). No green screen? A background-removal plugin or NVIDIA Broadcast does the same job.
- Sources → + → Browser, name it LiveFlyer Background, paste the Background link, Width 1080, Height 1920.
- Move it to the bottom of the source list, under the camera. Your overlay browser source goes at the top.
- Order from top to bottom: overlay → camera (keyed) → background.
Edit your overlay any time at liveflyer.app → Overlays — changes go live at the same link within a minute.
