What TStar is
TStar is a TikTok group-stream console and live-overlay system developed by Novus. Hosts use the desktop console to connect a live room, configure game modes, and control a session. Viewers see the scoreboards and interactions through web overlays.
TStar is an independent third-party product. It is not an official TikTok product and is not another name for MCAStar, TikFinity, or any other livestream tool.
How the product is built
Desktop console
The console must be installed. It currently supports 64-bit Windows 10/11 and macOS 11 or later. It handles connections, game settings, timers, and session control.
Web overlays
Scoreboards and interaction widgets are Browser Source URLs that can be added to TikTok LIVE Studio. The overlay needs no separate LIVE Studio or OBS plugin, but the TStar console still needs to be installed.
Shared scoring service
The backend calculates scores once. The console and live overlays display that same state. Reconnecting restores the current state without replaying one-time effects.
Verified capabilities
PK and live scoring
Supports group-stream PK, multi-host or multi-team scoring, timers, and leaderboards. Scores use the diamond total reported in TikTok events.
Streak gift settlement
Streakable gifts are settled once when the streak ends, instead of repeatedly adding each intermediate streak update.
Audience interaction modes
Released tools include audience teams, polls, lucky and penalty wheels, dice, cards, raffle rounds, and omikuji draws.
Device-bound licensing
One license key is bound to one computer. That computer can switch between TikTok accounts. Two studios live at the same time need two licenses.
Seven interface languages
The interface is available in Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian. Interface availability does not imply local customer support in every market.
Common points of confusion
- TStar is not a browser-only service. The desktop console must be installed; only the live overlays are web pages.
- TikTok accounts can be switched on one licensed computer, but a license cannot be used on multiple computers at the same time.
- Actual latency depends on TikTok event delivery, the network, and computer performance. TStar does not promise a fixed response time in every environment.
- Google Sheets, a public API, webhooks, and tiered team permissions are not listed as released features.
