Native Connector
BakoshApp's built-in TikTok LIVE connection: receive gifts, likes, follows and chat without TikFinity. PRO and MAX.
The Native Connector receives your TikTok LIVE events directly in BakoshApp — no TikFinity needed. It is available on PRO and MAX; on Free, use TikFinity. You still stream from TikTok LIVE Studio as usual.
Connect
- Go LIVE on TikTok.
- Click Platforms in the BakoshApp header and, in the TikTok row, type your TikTok username — the name after
@. Capital letters and a leading@don't matter. - Click ▶ (Connect to TikTok Live) or press Enter.
The dot next to the TikTok icon turns green, and "Connected to TikTok Live @yourname" appears. BakoshApp remembers the username for next time, but connecting is always manual.
If you connect before the LIVE has started — or right after restarting it — BakoshApp shows "@yourname isn't live on TikTok yet. After a LIVE restart TikTok may take up to an hour to show it — BakoshApp will connect automatically as soon as it does." and keeps checking on its own for up to 75 minutes. You don't need to click ▶ again. While it waits, ▶ becomes a stop button, and its tooltip repeats the message.
To stop, open Platforms and click ✕ (Disconnect from TikTok Live).
Actions react to TikTok events once they have a native trigger — Gift, Like, Chat and so on, set with the Trigger of each row. See Triggers.
Status
The dot is on the TikTok icon in the Platforms menu. While TikTok is connected, connecting or has an error, its logo with the same dot is also shown on the Platforms button, so you can see the status with the menu closed.
| Dot | Meaning |
|---|---|
| green | connected, events are coming in |
| amber | connecting, waiting for the LIVE, or reconnecting |
| red | connection error — hover over ▶ to read the message |
| grey | not connected |
If the connection drops
You don't need to reconnect by hand — BakoshApp does it for you:
- A short drop in the middle of a stream isn't shown at all: the dot stays green while BakoshApp reconnects in the background.
- A longer drop turns the dot amber, and the console shows "TikTok: Lost connection to TikTok Live — reconnecting…". When the connection is back, "Reconnected to TikTok Live @yourname" appears. BakoshApp keeps trying for up to 15 minutes, then gives up with "Lost connection to TikTok Live @yourname".
- The end of your LIVE: BakoshApp checks again for about two minutes, in case TikTok reported the end by mistake, then shows "The LIVE of @yourname has ended".
Before the first successful connection, BakoshApp tries a few times and then stops with an error — usually a mistyped username.

Common questions
The status is green, but nothing happens in the game. Check that the actions have native triggers (not TikFinity), that their conditions are met — a specific gift, a like count, a viewer filter — and that the mod with these actions is the active one.
Can I use TikFinity and the Native Connector at the same time? Yes, per action — see TikFinity vs Native Connector.
Can I stream on Kick at the same time? Yes, the Kick connector works alongside TikTok.
