Show GIFs and videos on stream with an action
Show a picture, GIF or video on your TikTok LIVE, Kick or Twitch stream when a viewer fires an action: your uploads or GIPHY search, shown in the OBS overlay.
A row on the Actions tab can show a picture, a GIF or a video on your stream each time it fires: a gift blows up a car in the game, and a meme appears over your stream. You pick the media in the row's Media cell, and the Action Media widget of the overlay shows it.
Plan: every plan. Pictures, GIFs and GIPHY are free; uploading videos needs PRO or MAX. Your uploads share one storage with the Image and Video widgets: 50 MB on Free, 1 GB on PRO and MAX.
Add media to a row
- Open a mod or a custom integration → Actions and click the row's Media cell, next to Audio. The Action Media window opens.
- Pick the media:
- Library — your uploads, with All, Images and Videos filters. Upload adds a file from your PC.
- GIPHY — search GIFs right in the window. Picking one takes no space in your storage.
- Set how it plays: Custom show time in seconds; for a video, Mute and Volume.
- Click Save. The cell shows a preview; its cross takes the media off the row.
| File | Limit |
|---|---|
| Pictures (PNG, JPEG, WebP) | up to 30 MB before BakoshApp compresses them |
| Animated GIF or APNG | up to 10 MB, uploaded as they are |
| Videos (MP4 or WebM) | up to 10 MB, PRO and MAX |
The Action Media widget
The media appears only where the mod's overlay has an Action Media widget. If it has none, the window says "Media is shown on the Action Media widget in the overlay. This mod has none yet." — click Add to overlay. If the widget is hidden, click Show in overlay.
The widget is in the Alerts section of Add Widget, on every plan. Drag it where the media should appear; a frame shows up on stream only while there is something to show. In its panel:
- Scale Mode, Corner radius, Soft edges and Opacity — how the media looks.
- Show time — for a picture or GIF without its own show time. A video plays to its end.
- Queue length — how many can wait. Several at once queue up; a long queue shortens pictures, while videos play in full.
Demo in the panel shows a sample on the canvas and in OBS.
When it shows
- Once each time the row fires, whatever fired it: a stream event, TikFinity, Test or a hotkey. A row with Counts of 10 still shows it once.
- Disable on the row (the power button) takes its media off the stream at once and clears it from the queue.
Common questions
The row fired, but nothing appeared in OBS. Check that the mod's overlay has a visible Action Media widget and that the overlay link is in OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio — see Overlay. Press Demo to check the widget.
The upload button says video upload is a PRO feature. Free can use pictures, GIFs and GIPHY; videos need PRO or MAX. See Free vs PRO vs MAX.
Can a video's sound play on stream? Yes. Turn Mute off in the window. In the overlay editor video always plays muted; in OBS the sound works.
Does the media go along when I send a preset? GIPHY GIFs do. Files from your own library don't — see Presets.
