TikTok is testing a Windows program called [TikTok Live Studio](https://www.tiktok.com/studio/download) that will [let users watch them play video games live on TikTok](https://techcrunch.com/2021/12/15/tiktok-is-testing-a-desktop-streaming-software-called-tiktok-live-studio/). TechCrunch reports:

_Once downloaded to your desktop, the program allows users to log in with their TikTok account and stream directly to TikTok Live. Within the program, you can communicate with viewers through the chat feature, and you can stream content from your computer, your phone or a gaming console. TikTok told TechCrunch that this program is currently available only in a handful of Western markets for a few thousand users. […] Live Studio isn’t guaranteed to roll out, the company told TechCrunch – whenever TikTok tests a feature, that doesn’t mean it’s here to stay forever. But if we do see a true launch of TikTok Live Studio, the platform will study what creators are using the software for, then tailor it to better suit those use cases. […] This streaming software could also mark an opportunity for TikTok to reach more desktop users._

It seems that TikTok is now aiming to get a piece of the Twitch pie. 🤔
