Stream Ray-Ban Meta Glasses to TikTok LIVE Studio

The result: your glasses view inside TikTok LIVE Studio

The final scene in the recording shows the glasses feed inside LIVE Studio and in Chrome’s floating preview. The button still says Go LIVE: this is the working preview to check before you publish.

Watch the complete setup

Use the video alongside the written steps.

Before you start: what you need

• Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses connected to an Android phone, with MetaLensAI installed and ready to use Custom RTMP streaming. Complete the MetaLensAI installation guide first.
• A PC with TikTok LIVE Studio and a TikTok account that can use it. Get the desktop software through TikTok’s official download page.
• MediaMTX on the PC to receive the local feed, plus Google Chrome to display it.
• The TikTok mobile app signed in to the account you use for LIVE Studio, for the Phone camera connection shown in the recording.
• A stable local network. Connect the phone and PC to the same reachable Wi-Fi/LAN. Keep the phone close to the glasses and prepare power for your planned session.

Check your account’s LIVE Studio access before setting up the receiver. See TikTok’s current LIVE requirements.

Understand the two camera sources

The phone connection and the glasses stream do different jobs. Keeping them separate makes the rest of the setup much easier.

On a small screen, swipe the table to see all columns.

If you prefer to stream using an RTMP Server URL and Stream Key, follow the direct TikTok RTMP guide. The steps below use desktop window capture instead.

1. Install and start MediaMTX on your computer

Open the MediaMTX installation instructions and download the latest standalone archive from the official MediaMTX releases. Then follow the instructions for your operating system.

.\mediamtx.exe

./mediamtx

On either system, a normal startup includes listeners similar to these:

INF [RTMP] listener opened on :1935
INF [WebRTC] listener opened on :8889 (HTTP), :8189 (ICE/UDP)
INF [HLS] listener opened on :8888

Checkpoint: the RTMP listener is on 1935 and the WebRTC preview is on 8889. Your log format may differ by MediaMTX version. This guide assumes those default ports.

2. Find your computer’s local IPv4 address

MetaLensAI needs the local address of the computer running MediaMTX. Use the instructions for your operating system.

ipconfig

ipconfig getifaddr en0

Use this computer address in MetaLensAI. Do not use localhost on the phone because it would refer to the phone itself. The examples below use 192.168.1.56; replace it with your own IPv4 address.

Connect the phone and computer to the same reachable local network. Guest Wi-Fi with client isolation can prevent the phone from reaching the computer even when both devices show the same Wi-Fi name.

3. Configure MetaLensAI Custom RTMP

1. Open MetaLensAI and go to Settings → Streaming.
2. Set Streaming Platform to Custom RTMP Server.
3. Set Stream URL to the PC address and MediaMTX’s RTMP port:

rtmp://192.168.1.56:1935/meta

Copy

Set the local Stream Key to:

test

Copy

The resulting MediaMTX path is meta/test. Keep that same path when opening the browser preview.

This is a local key, not a TikTok key. test is an example path value for this receiver. You are not copying a TikTok account credential.

4. Return to MetaLensAI’s Home screen and tap Go Live on Custom RTMP Server.
5. Choose Performance Mode, as in the local-receiver setup. Confirm the glasses connect and start sending video.
6. Check the MediaMTX terminal for a publishing message with the expected path.

INF [RTMP] ... is publishing to path 'meta/test', 2 tracks (...) 

Checkpoint: MediaMTX reports a publisher on meta/test. If it does not, fix the PC address, network or firewall before continuing.

4. Open the glasses feed in Chrome

With MetaLensAI streaming, open the MediaMTX WebRTC preview on the PC:

http://192.168.1.56:8889/meta/test

1. Wait for the glasses video to load. If the player needs a click to start, use its play control.
2. Move your hand in front of the glasses to verify that you are seeing a moving feed.
3. Keep this tab open. LIVE Studio will capture video from it later.

The recording’s initial local setup follows the MediaMTX steps in the OBS guide. For this TikTok workflow, continue here after the browser-preview checkpoint; you do not need to install OBS.

http://192.168.1.56:8888/meta/test

5. Connect TikTok’s Phone camera to LIVE Studio

This follows the Phone camera connection shown at 0:59–2:35 in the video. It is separate from the MetaLensAI glasses feed.

1. Open TikTok LIVE Studio on the PC and sign in.
2. Prepare the scene you want to use. The example uses a portrait/full-screen-camera layout.
3. Click Add source → Phone camera. If the source is already in the scene, open its settings with the gear icon.
4. Choose the Wi-Fi connection method. LIVE Studio displays a QR code for that session.

5. On the phone, open the TikTok app and tap the + button.
6. Choose LIVE. In the LIVE options, swipe to LIVE Studio.
7. Tap Share camera, then scan the QR code displayed on the PC using this in-app scanner.
8. When LIVE Studio asks you to confirm the connection, click Confirm.
9. Wait for the phone camera to appear and click Apply on the PC.

Use the TikTok app’s Share camera scanner, not a general camera QR reader. If LIVE Studio or Share camera is missing, check your account’s access and current TikTok UI before proceeding.

Checkpoint: Phone camera shows the connected phone. You have connected TikTok’s phone source; the camera in your glasses is still coming through MediaMTX and Chrome.

6. Put the Chrome preview into Picture-in-Picture

Return to the MediaMTX browser tab. In the recording, Picture-in-Picture is opened around 3:29 to isolate the glasses video in a floating window.

1. Open the video’s menu or Chrome’s video controls and select Picture-in-Picture. The control’s location can vary with Chrome and the player.
2. If the first right-click opens only the player menu, a second right-click may show Chrome’s video menu.
3. Keep the floating video window open and visible. Do not close the original preview tab.
4. Return to LIVE Studio while the Picture-in-Picture window continues playing.

Checkpoint: the floating window shows moving glasses video. The browser may say Playing in picture-in-picture in its main player.

7. Add Window capture and select the PiP window

1. In LIVE Studio, click Add source → Window capture. Use Window capture for this method so you can select the individual program window.
2. Add the source, then open its settings/gear icon.
3. Under Select program, choose the Chrome Picture-in-Picture entry. The recording shows chrome.exe Picture in picture.
4. Check the source preview and click Apply.

Checkpoint: LIVE Studio shows the glasses video as a separate captured source. If you see browser tabs or your entire desktop, check the selected source and program window.

8. Bring the glasses source forward and fit the canvas

1. Select the new captured source in the preview or source list.
2. Open its context menu and choose Layer → Bring forward. Repeat as needed, or use Bring to front, so it sits above Phone camera.
3. Resize and center the glasses feed in the portrait canvas. Preserve the image’s aspect ratio instead of stretching it.
4. Use the canvas’s alignment/crop controls if you need a tighter composition. Check the full scene: an exposed phone-camera background may still be visible around a small glasses overlay.

The floating Chrome window is the input; the scene canvas is the output. Resizing one can affect the capture’s shape, so check the final scene after you change either.

9. Verify the feed and check audio before publishing

The recording briefly stops and restarts the stream, then reaches a clear working preview at 4:41–4:48. Wait for the input to recover before you press Go LIVE.

• Video: move your hand in front of the glasses. The browser/PiP feed and LIVE Studio capture should update.
• Source: confirm you are capturing the glasses window, not accidentally showing only the phone camera.
• Framing: look for clipped edges, an uncovered background and unwanted browser controls.
• Audio: choose the intended microphone/audio route in LIVE Studio and watch its meters. Window capture alone should not be treated as proof that glasses audio is included.
• Echo: avoid capturing the same sound through multiple microphones or through both speakers and a microphone.

If you restart MetaLensAI, expect a temporary blank/frozen capture while the connection recovers. Confirm the browser preview first, then LIVE Studio. The restart shown in this particular recording is a recovery step, not a guarantee against every pixelation problem.

10. Go LIVE from TikTok LIVE Studio

1. Review the final scene, LIVE title/category and audio controls.
2. Click Go LIVE in TikTok LIVE Studio and complete any final confirmation TikTok shows.
3. Confirm the broadcast status in TikTok. If available, check the viewer-facing result from a second device.
4. Keep MediaMTX, MetaLensAI, Chrome’s preview tab and Picture-in-Picture window running during the session.
5. When finished, end the broadcast in TikTok and stop the local stream in MetaLensAI.

Two different Go Live buttons: MetaLensAI’s button starts the local camera feed to MediaMTX. LIVE Studio’s button publishes the prepared scene to TikTok.
