FAQ on games, gaming & IT / UPDATE: TikTok LIVE Camera Req...

Last post by kat - January 01, 2026, 11:06:43 AM

UPDATE: with recent updates to TikTok Studio, the settings to configure the 'greenscreen' camera workaround that enables live streaming without a physical camera (thus avoiding concerns over revealing identity information, Ed.) have been moved. The options are now under Background, found within Camera properties.

Aside: for the TikTok greenscreen to work, a Virtual Camera is needed alongside a 'greenscreen' image. See "TikTok Live Studio CAMERA requirement - workaround" for full details on creating the greenscreen image and setting that up in OBS.

How To Set Up A TikTok Greenscreen
To 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, the 'camera' [5] should then appear partially or fully transparent in TikTok Studio depending on the greenscreen image.

Aside: 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.

Enabling the TikTok greenscreen in Background options.

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

Blog / UPDATE #4 - Cloudflare, AI Bot...

Last post by kat - December 27, 2025, 02:48:38 PM

Update 4 on the continuing saga that is Bot Defence Ultra 2000!

In the on-going efforts to mitigate 'aggressive bot traffic' across KatsBits, Cloudflare was set up to act as an authoritative middleman that validates traffic; good (humans) get through, bad (bots) get blocked.

There's more to the story, which will be relayed at a later date, but suffice to say here, regions previously hard blocked from accessing KatsBits should now be able to browse through KatsBits without issue. So, creators in China, Russia, India, Singapore and other areas often hot beds of 'errant' bot activities should have full access once past the Cloudflare 'human' check.

While this does means being reliant, or centralising to a degree, on a third-party, right now this set up is the only practical solution that makes a dent in the aggressive intrusions of AI bots, scrapers and farming scripts that hoover up content for AI training - 'copyright' is the least of our worries when it comes to AI.

Anywho, as before this does mean KatsBits needs your support so drop by Ko-Fi or Patreon. And of course if you still have trouble accessing KatsBits don't hesitate to get in touch or send an alert on Discord or DMs via The Socials(TM) - "KatsBits" everywhere.

Subject: Response for you're doing.

Body: Hello ****,

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisely.

Have you heard of Pegasus?
This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners.
It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, and Windows.
I guess, you already figured out where I'm getting at.

It's been a few months since I installed it on all your devices because you were not quite choosy about what links to click on the internet.
During this period, I've learned about all aspects of your private life, but one is of special significance to me.
I've recorded many videos of you **** to highly controversial **** videos.
Given that the "questionable" genre is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick ****.

I doubt you'd want your friends, family and co-workers to know about it. However, I can do it in a few clicks.
Every number in your contact book will suddenly receive these videos - on WhatsApp, on Telegram, on Skype, on email - everywhere.
It is going to be a tsunami that will sweep away everything in its path, and first of all, your former life.
Don't think of yourself as an innocent victim. No one knows where your **** might lead in the future, so consider this a kind of deserved punishment to stop you.

Better late than never.
I'm some kind of God who sees everything.
However, don't panic. As we know, God is merciful and forgiving, and so do I.
But my mercy is not free.

Transfer $1220 USD to my bitcoin wallet:[bitcoin address]

Once I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will permanently delete all videos compromising you, uninstall Pegasus from all of your devices, and disappear from your life. You can be sure - my benefit is only money.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing to you, but destroy your life without a word in a second.

I'll be notified when you open my email, and from that moment you have exactly 48 hours to send the money.
If cryptocurrencies are unchartered waters for you, don't worry, it's very simple.
Just google "crypto exchange" and then it will be no harder than buying some useless stuff on Amazon.

I strongly warn you against the following:
) Do not reply to this email. I sent it from a temp email so I am untraceable.
) Do not contact the police. I have access to all your devices, and as soon as I find out you ran to the cops, videos will be published.
) Don't try to reset or destroy your devices.

As I mentioned above: I'm monitoring all your activity, so you either agree to my terms or the videos are published.

Also, don't forget that cryptocurrencies are anonymous, so it's impossible to identify me using the provided address.
Good luck, my perverted friend. I hope this is the last time we hear from each other.

And some friendly advice: from now on, don't be so careless about your online security.
