These streamers are using low-key setups, in comparison to the complex (and expensive) setups that dominate Twitch, where a DSLR camera and the capture card to use it can cost over $800. While these “LIVE” features were designed for influencers to talk to their followers and host question-and-answer sessions, crafty streamers have taken to the platform and the giant audience it has to offer. But TikTok’s suite of features for live streaming has quietly been growing, with additions like event scheduling and comment filtering options. It’s a short-form video app, where people post all sorts of footage - from participating in viral memes to developing independent platforms for original content. TikTok isn’t really known as a live media streaming platform. Now, Morrison ( JackMorrisonTV on TikTok) and other streamers with similarly crude setups have taken over the app’s “LIVE” section, capturing as many as 2,400 viewers at a time. In September, the company said that one billion people in total use the app each month, and jokes and sounds riffing on video games have long proliferated widely across TikTok. But it’s become a rather common practice on TikTok, where video game streaming has picked up in the past few months. This makeshift setup might have been surprising just a year ago, in an industry that seems to be more and more concerned with having the latest streaming technology. When he boots up Apex Legends, viewers see the gameplay reflected in the mirror as they watch him play. Then he sits in front of his monitor, as usual, and plays the game, propping up his cell phone to face him and setting his camera live.
Instead, he grabs a basic circular mirror and sets it in front of his desktop monitor, facing the screen. When Jack Morrison logs on to stream, he doesn’t boot up Twitch, Streamlabs OBS, or speak into a fancy microphone.
