Use a TikTok or Douyin live stream URL in OBS Media Source instead of screen capture for cleaner livestream workflows.
Add TikTok/Douyin Live To OBS As A Media Source
OBS can use a network stream as a Media Source when you have the live video URL.
Steps:
1. Open OBS. 2. Add `Media Source`. 3. Uncheck `Local File`. 4. Paste the live stream URL. 5. Reduce network buffering if low latency matters.
This avoids screen capture and can preserve better quality when the source URL is stable.
For relay/recording workflows, FFmpeg stream copy is often useful:
ffmpeg -re -i "LIVE_STREAM_URL" \
-c:v copy -c:a copy \
-f flv rtmp://destination/live/key
