TikTok Gift Campaign Bar
During a TikTok LIVE campaign only some gifts earn points, and the points have little to do with what a gift costs. Your viewers cannot tell that from the gift tray. The campaign bar puts the answer on your stream: the gifts that count, what each one is worth, your rank and how far you are from the next place.

What is a TikTok gift campaign bar?
A gift campaign bar is an overlay that shows viewers how to support you in a TikTok LIVE campaign. TikTok runs these as ranked events: creators climb a board by collecting points, and points come from a short list of gifts, each with its own value.
The problem it solves is simple. A viewer who wants to help sends whatever gift they like, and half the time it earns nothing for the campaign. Asking in chat works for the people reading chat at that moment. A bar on screen answers the question for everyone who joins, for the whole stream.
It also turns the campaign into something viewers can watch move. When they can see your rank and the points you still need, the next gift has a clear purpose, which is the same reason a goal bar fills faster than a goal you only mention.
Two ways to run it
Pick the one that matches the campaign you are in. Both are browser sources with ten themes each.
Live from TikTok's campaign feed
The campaign overlay reads the campaign you are in and shows its gifts, tasks, your rank, a countdown, the points to the next place and the top of the board. Nothing to type.
A points list you build
Pick the gifts and type the points each one earns. Use it when a campaign has no feed, or for a challenge you invented yourself.
Cards that react to gifts
On the list you build, a matching gift makes its card react, and the bar keeps a running count of gifts sent and points earned this stream.
Bar, card or rotation
A wide bar across the bottom of the scene, a tall card with the leaderboard, or a compact card that rotates between the gifts and your rank.
Daily, total or regional rank
Choose which board the rank panel follows, and show or hide the countdown, the points to the next place and the leaderboard.
Matches gifts in every region
Gifts are matched by their artwork, not their name, so a gift with a different name in another language still counts.
Want the gifts themselves to fire something on stream? That is a TikTok gift overlay, and you can run one beside the campaign bar.
How to add a campaign bar to your TikTok LIVE
Set it up once; it follows the campaign while you stream.
Connect your TikTok username
Sign in and connect the account you go live with, so the bar knows which campaign you are in and which gifts arrive.
Choose the feed or your own list
Use the live campaign overlay for TikTok's campaigns, or build the points list yourself: pick each gift and type what it earns.
Pick a theme and a layout
Ten themes for each, and a bar, card or rotating layout. Settings update the overlay while it is on stream.
Add it to OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio
Copy the overlay URL and add it as a Browser Source in OBS or Streamlabs, or as a Link source in TikTok LIVE Studio.
Go live
Start your TikTok LIVE. The bar shows the campaign's gifts, and your rank moves as the points come in.

A campaign bar viewers actually read
Most campaign pushes stall for one of these reasons:
- The gifts that count are on screen, not only in chat
- Points per gift are shown, not just the gift
- The gap to the next place is visible
- It sits where it never covers your face or the game
- One campaign at a time when you are pushing hard
- Thank the gifts that moved the rank, by name
When you are in several campaigns at once, pick the one you are pushing and the bar shows only that one while it runs. To turn the push into a stream-long target, pair it with a TikTok LIVE goal.
TikTok Gift Campaign Bar: FAQ
What is a TikTok gift campaign bar?
It is an overlay that shows your viewers which gifts earn points in the TikTok LIVE campaign you are in, how many points each gift is worth, your current rank and how far you are from the next place, so viewers who want to help know what to send.
Why don't all gifts count in a TikTok campaign?
TikTok campaigns usually award points for a short list of gifts, at values that are not tied to the gift's coin price. A viewer looking at the gift tray cannot tell which gifts count, which is why showing the list on stream helps.
Does the campaign bar update by itself?
The live campaign overlay does: it reads the campaign you are in and keeps the gifts, your rank, the countdown and the leaderboard current. The points list you build yourself updates its gift and points counts as matching gifts arrive.
Can I make a campaign bar for my own challenge?
Yes. Build the points list yourself: choose the gifts, type the points each one earns, and the bar shows them and counts what your viewers send. It works for campaigns without a feed and for challenges you make up.
Does it work in TikTok LIVE Studio?
Yes. It is a browser source URL, so it works in TikTok LIVE Studio as a Link source and in OBS, Streamlabs and other software that supports browser sources.
Is the campaign bar free?
No. Both campaign overlays are part of the Creator plan ($9.99 a month or $99.99 a year), with ten themes each. Your BetterTok account itself is free.
Show viewers which gifts count
The campaign gifts, your rank and the gap to the next place, on stream. Ten themes for OBS and TikTok LIVE Studio, on the Creator plan.
