Add a channel

Updated Oct 14, 20261 min read
Add a TikTok channel by username or profile link; SaveStream starts checking it right away.

Add it

  1. Open Channels and choose Add channel.
  2. Enter the TikTok username (with or without @) or the profile link, for example https://www.tiktok.com/@yourchannel.
  3. Confirm. The channel appears in your list and SaveStream begins checking whether it is live.

Usernames are 2–24 characters: letters, numbers, periods and underscores. A username and a profile link for the same creator count as one channel, so you can't add it twice. Only TikTok is supported today.

How many channels you can add

Free accounts can monitor a limited number of channels. After a purchase you can monitor more channels. Deleted channels don't count toward the limit.

Pause, resume or delete

  • Monitoring switch on the channel page: turn it off to pause checks, on to resume.
  • Remove channel in the channel menu deletes it. Recordings you already have stay in Recordings until you delete them or they expire.
