UPDATE: with recent updates to TikTok Studio (https://www.tiktok.com/tiktokstudio), the settings to configure the 'greenscreen' camera workaround that enables live streaming without a physical camera (https://www.katsbits.com/community/index.php/topic,1319.0.html) (
thus avoiding concerns over revealing identity information, Ed.) have been moved. The options are now under
Background, found within
Camera properties.
QuoteAside: for the TikTok greenscreen to work, a Virtual Camera is needed alongside a 'greenscreen' image. See "TikTok Live Studio CAMERA requirement - workaround (https://www.katsbits.com/community/index.php/topic,1319.0.html)" for full details on creating the greenscreen image and setting that up in OBS.
How To Set Up A TikTik GreenscreenTo set up a greenscreen in TikTok now, once a
Camera entity has been added to the
Sources panel on the left-hand side of TikTok Studio, click the 'cog' icon [1] to access
Camera (properties) window overlay. Here, click
Background [2], then on the
Cutout 'thumbnail' [3]. In the panel now available below, set;
- "
Chroma key" (enable).
- "
Removal color", type or select a value e.g. "
00FF00" (Hex) or "
0, 255, 0" (RGB) for green [4].
Depending on the image being broadcast as a Virtual Camera from OBS (https://www.katsbits.com/community/index.php/topic,1319.0.html), the 'camera' should then appear partially or fully transparent in TikTok Studio depending on the greenscreen image
QuoteAside: the greenscreen image itself can be entirely green, or another easily removeable primary colour, or partially green, creating a 'mask' or 'cutout' as the camera.

After Camera options have been set the camera source widget will be tranparent.
