Find Your Stream Key & Simulcast to TikTok
To stream from an encoder like OBS, you need each platform’s stream key. This guide walks you through finding your stream key on YouTube, SOOP, and CHZZK and entering it into OBS — and, for TikTok, simulcasting with the OBS virtual camera instead of a stream key.

Simulcast to TikTok (OBS Virtual Camera)
For TikTok you can simulcast with OBS’s ‘Virtual Camera’ instead of a stream key. When you start the OBS virtual camera, your OBS scene is recognized as a webcam that you can select as the camera in your TikTok broadcast. This lets you send your stream to TikTok at the same time as your YouTube, SOOP, and CHZZK stream-key outputs.
Keep Your Stream Key Safe
Your stream key works like a password. If it’s exposed, someone could stream to your channel without permission, so keep it hidden when sharing or capturing your screen. If you think it leaked, reset it in the platform’s studio to issue a new one.
