Gift Menu — TikTok Live Decorate overlay
Gift Menu is a static ordering board — gift image on the left, reward copy on the right — pinning 'send X → get Y' on screen. No live events needed; set it before you go live.
Prerequisite: install and run TKStudio (Windows desktop) and connect it to the TikTok LIVE room you are streaming. This article stands on its own — from configuration to OBS / TikTok LIVE Studio setup.
When to use it
Song-request, tarot, and custom-greeting streams live on 'what do I send for what?' The menu keeps the price list pinned — no more re-explaining every five minutes, and newcomers understand the game in three seconds.
Shopping perk events work the same: a menu beats saying the rules three times.
The demo video above shows Gift Menu in action (both EN and ZH versions), and the cover previews the layout; the plugin page's live preview is the source of truth.
Configuration
Configure everything on the plugin page in TKStudio — tune on the left, preview live on the right, then hit Generate link. The table below lists every parameter in panel order, its default, and practical gotchas.
| Parameter | Description | Default | Gotchas |
|---|---|---|---|
size | Overall overlay scale (1–10). (1–10) | 5 | You can still resize in OBS / LIVE Studio afterwards; avoid stacking both too small. |
items | Custom entries (menu items, schedule rows, socials, …). | — | Order is display order; long text wraps — check the preview. |
How to use it in OBS
This section assumes you have generated and copied the link: open TKStudio → pick Gift Menu → choose the room and tune parameters → Generate link → Copy link. Keep TKStudio running while you stream — the overlay link talks to the local TKStudio process.
Add the link to OBS as a Browser Source:
- In the Sources dock click + → Browser.
- Paste the copied link into URL; set width / height to your canvas (usually 1920×1080).
- Leave Shutdown source when not visible unchecked so the overlay never pauses.
- Click OK, then drag / resize the source into position.
Placement: Keep it near the natural eye line (lower-center or a side); 4–6 items read best — split columns beyond that.
- The page background is transparent out of the box — do not override it with custom CSS.
- After changing parameters, Generate link again and refresh the Browser Source (or update its URL).
- One plugin = one Browser Source; add more sources for more overlays.
How to use it in TikTok LIVE Studio
If you go live with TikTok LIVE Studio, the approach is the same — a browser layer, nearly identical to OBS:
- Open your scene / layer list in TikTok LIVE Studio.
- Add a Browser layer.
- Paste the link from Copy link into the URL field.
- Match the canvas size (e.g. 1920×1080) and keep the background transparent.
- Position the layer, go live, and send a test chat / gift to confirm it animates.
- TKStudio and TikTok LIVE Studio must run on the same PC (the link points to 127.0.0.1).
- Blank overlay? Make sure TKStudio is connected to the right room, then re-copy the link and refresh the layer.
- After regenerating a link, refresh or re-create the browser layer.
