Console Tour
The console is the app you actually operate while you're live. This page walks through what each tab across the top does and when you'd use it; for how each game works, see the game guides, and for tools that don't affect scoring, see Interactive Widgets.
Top navigation tabs
| Tab | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Saved game configs sit here as cards, one per game — this is where you switch between them while live | Almost the whole time you're live |
| Host Roster | Set up today's hosts; every game's player slots pull from this list automatically | Before you go live |
| Scoring Games | Configure the scoring games — PK, Monopoly, raffle rounds, and more | Setting things up before you go live |
| Audience Interaction | Wheel, dice, slot machine, avatar frames, leaderboards — small tools that don't touch the score | Set up before you go live, toggle anytime while live |
| Data Reports | Full-session donor ranking, gift stats, host ranking, plus the revenue report download | Check the action while live, export after the stream |
| Widget Links | Generate the links you paste into TikTok LIVE Studio | First-time setup, and after switching themes |
| Settings | Language, license/device info, overlay font and sound, version updates, contact support | Whenever you need it |
Home: pinned cards and live mode
Home is mission control while you're live. Set up a game on the Scoring Games or Audience Interaction page, give it a name, and press "Put on Home" — it becomes a card on the Home page.
- Scoring game cards: tap one and it goes live for viewers immediately. While a round is running, switching scoring games is locked so you don't accidentally zero out the score mid-match; audience-interaction tools aren't affected.
- Audience-interaction cards: tap one and its control panel expands below, without touching whatever scoring game is currently running.
- Cards can be dragged to reorder; click the ✎ on a card to rename it; "Edit settings" takes you back to that game's settings page, and changes apply automatically.
Live mode
Once you're live, press "Enter live mode" and Home enlarges the buttons you actually use in the moment and tucks away the settings-y stuff, so it's easier to work in a dim room or out of the corner of your eye. To change settings, press "Exit live mode" or just click one of the tabs up top. The Settings page also has a dark "Control room" colour theme, built for the same long-session use.
Live stats and the gift feed
The bottom half of Home holds the two things you check most while live:
- Live stats: three tabs — Host Ranking, Top Donors, Gift Stats — showing numbers for the current round only. It's empty before the round starts, and starts moving once you press "Start."
- Gift feed: a line-by-line log of time, viewer, gift, and diamond count. Filter by a specific gift, or search by viewer nickname. The total in the header reads "this round" once a round is running, or "this session" (everything since you connected) before one starts.
Session totals (not just this round) live on the Data Reports tab; the full post-stream breakdown lives in the guild dashboard on our website — see Data Reports & Guild Dashboard.
Host Roster
Set up today's hosts before you go live. The roster order automatically maps to every game's player slots — the two sides of a PK, the Gauntlet's challengers, who shows up on the avatar frame — all pulled from this one list, so you don't have to set it up separately in every game.
Add a host
Press "+ Add Host" and type their TikTok account — the console auto-fetches their nickname and avatar. Accounts you've added recently stay in the "Recent" list, so next time you can just tap them.
Set the order
The roster order is the default slot order. You can still adjust it per game on "Who's on this round," or press "Fill all from roster order" to fill every slot at once.
Someone shows up who isn't on the roster?
If a viewer sends a gift addressed to someone not on the roster, the console pops up a "Hosts detected outside the roster" alert — one click on "Add to roster" fixes it. If it's not actually a host, press "Not a host" to dismiss the alert.
Gifts to hosts outside the roster don't score for anyone
This is one of the most common reasons scores don't move. Add everyone who might go on stage before you start, and remember to add anyone who joins partway through.
Widget Link Manager
"Widget Links" opens a dialog listing every widget's link:
- Current game / tool: the top slot is always the link for whatever you have open right now — switch games and it switches with you.
- Full list: filter by "Scoring Games," "Audience Interaction," or "Rankings/Other," or just search by name (e.g. "wheel"). Each link shows its suggested size — set that when you paste it into LIVE Studio.
- Appearance theme: some widgets have an "Appearance theme" dropdown (Luxe Gold / Neon Arena / Soft Jelly, etc.) — after switching themes, re-copy the link and paste it back in for the change to take effect.
- Reset all widget links: if a link accidentally leaks (say, it shows up in a shared screenshot), pressing this button invalidates every old link right away — just re-copy and paste the new ones back into LIVE Studio.
A copied link stays valid indefinitely — you don't need to re-paste it on a schedule. If the console prompts you before going live that a link needs updating, just follow the prompt and re-copy it. See Connect TikTok LIVE Studio for how to paste it in, and Overlay Sizing & Layout Guide for sizes.

Auto-update
The console checks for new versions on its own. When one's available, a "New Version Available" prompt appears — choose "Update Now" or "Later." Once the download finishes, press "Restart and Complete Update"; it takes about 30 seconds, during which the console closes and reopens automatically.
Don't update mid-stream
Updating closes the console, so doing it mid-stream will freeze your overlay. Also avoid shutting down or pulling the power during installation — if that does happen, see the FAQ for how to recover.
