@amonib1: Replying to @Soft Chaos Muffin Pt 1 ✅ Ways to Use TikTok Live / Studio on an M4 MacBook 1. Parallels Desktop (Windows VM) + TikTok Live Studio • Parallels runs Windows 11 ARM on Apple Silicon (including M4). • Inside the Windows VM, you can install TikTok Live Studio just like on a PC. • This gives you the full official TikTok Live Studio experience (overlays, comments, gifting, TikTok integration). • Downsides: you need Parallels Desktop (paid, though there’s a trial) and a Windows license. It also uses extra system resources. ⸻ 2. OBS Studio (Native on macOS) + TikTok RTMP • Install OBS Studio (free, runs natively on M-series Macs). • In TikTok (if your account is eligible for streaming via RTMP), you can get a Stream Key + Server URL. • Enter that in OBS, and you can stream directly from your Mac without Windows. • This is lightweight and great for performance. • Downsides: not everyone has access to TikTok’s RTMP option — sometimes you need to request it or meet follower requirements. ⸻ 3. Third-Party Mac Streaming Tools • Apps like Meld Studio (Mac-first streaming software) support TikTok streaming and vertical formats. • They’re designed for creators who want TikTok-style layouts but don’t want to mess with OBS. • Usually simpler, but sometimes paid. ⸻ 4. Phone + Mac Combo • Start your TikTok Live from your phone, then use your MacBook for: • Screen sharing via AirPlay • Feeding media / overlays into the stream • This is the least technical but doesn’t give you desktop-level streaming control. ⸻ 👉 Since you’re on an M4 Mac, the best experience depends on what you want: • Full TikTok features (chat, gifting, overlays): Parallels + Windows + TikTok Live Studio. • Smooth native Mac streaming: OBS + TikTok RTMP. Other wise use another computer like my hp
