Here's how to fix many common TikTok LIVE Studio issues including audio and lag.
Gaining Access to TikTok Live Studio
Not everyone automatically gains access to TikTok Live Studio, even with 1,000 followers. If you're struggling to get access, consider these two solutions:
Join a TikTok Live Agency: Agencies can provide access to Live Studio, protection from false bans, training to increase gift revenue, and even a stream key. Check out my website for a list of agencies that can help you gain access.
The Falcon Application: An alternative method involves filling out a specific application. Some users have reported gaining access after submitting their information through this application.
Addressing Lag Issues
Lag can significantly impact the quality of your live stream. Here are steps to diagnose and fix lag issues:
Internet Speed: Use a speed test to ensure you have at least 10 megabits per second of upload speed, which is crucial for high-quality streaming.
Computing Power: Check the recommended settings in TikTok Live Studio's help center. For streaming popular games, you'll need at least an RTX 2060 or 2070, an i7 8700 processor, and 16 GB of RAM. If your setup is less powerful, consider adjusting your settings for optimal performance.
Optimizing Live Studio Settings
For a high-quality stream, adjust your settings to a bitrate between 6,000 and 9,000. If you encounter lag, reduce the video quality to 720p, which lowers the FPS and bitrate, making it easier for your setup to handle the stream.

Solving Audio Problems
Ensure only one microphone and audio source are added to avoid conflicts. Select the correct microphone and speakers/headset, and consider enabling noise suppression to reduce background noise. Do NOT use the default option. Watch the video above to learn more.
Camera Quality Improvement
To enhance your camera quality, adjust the resolution to at least 1920 x 1080 in the camera settings. If you're experiencing lag, you may need to lower the resolution. Just right-click the camera source.
Additional Tips
Update Your Graphics Card: Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date to prevent encoding issues.
Resource Management for Lower-End PCs: Hide the live stream preview to save resources, especially on lower-end PCs.
Using OBS with Live Studio: If you prefer OBS features, use the OBS virtual camera with Live Studio for more advanced streaming capabilities. Full guide here.
