Windows warns you on first run?
This is not a virus alert. TStar is new software that hasn't built up download volume yet, and Windows shows the same prompt for every app in that position. These two steps get you through it.

Download & Setup FAQ
Can I run TStar on macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel)?
Yes. TStar provides a native macOS desktop build, fully compatible with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel processors. Choose the matching build above.
How do I bypass the Windows Defender SmartScreen warning on first run?
Windows SmartScreen routinely flags newly released binaries that have not yet accumulated millions of downloads. Click 'More info' on the prompt, then click 'Run anyway' to complete the installation safely.
Do I need to install TikTok LIVE Studio or OBS first?
Yes, we recommend having your broadcast software installed. TStar Console handles live scorekeeping and websocket events, and feeds graphic widgets into TikTok LIVE Studio or OBS via standard Browser Sources.
What if I switch computers or re-install my operating system?
Each license key is tied to a single machine at a time. If you switch PCs or stream rigs, log in to 'My Account' on this site and click 'Unbind Device' to immediately free the license for your new machine.
