Quick setup · Short test

Two-device exercise: let the computer broadcast and handle audio while the phone monitors chat and statistics. Sign into the same Thunderstream profile. Choose a platform in the phone preview and choose all connected sources or one chat source. Do not start another independent TTS reader merely to test the connection.

A phone acting as the TikTok camera may suspend its browser when switching apps. That differs from using a separate monitoring device. PWA installation and optional permissions do not guarantee operation with a locked screen. Graphics still belong in a compatible broadcasting program.

1. Select or set: Platform → TikTok / Twitch / YouTube / Kick.
2. Select or set: Stream chat → Platform ✓.
3. Check: Text to speech → 1 × Audio.
4. Save: Settings → Thunderstream → Account.

Before you go live

Keep your existing configuration and original source file first. Change one parameter at a time. Check a short recording or the actual viewer output, rather than relying only on the editor. Restore the recorded baseline if the result gets worse.

1. One change at a time → Baseline.
2. Viewer output → Short test.
3. Results → Backup.
