People who gift want it to be seen. A "thank you" lost between 200 comments isn't seen.

To show top gifters on TikTok LIVE, add a leaderboard as a source: in TikRift you create a Top coins list in Top lists, pick a design, copy the URL and paste it into LIVE Studio as a link source or into OBS as a browser source. The leaderboard stays on screen instead of hiding in a menu.

How do I put top gifters on my TikTok LIVE? Step by step

  1. Open TikRift and go to Top lists.
  2. Pick the metric: Top coins (classic top gifters), Likes or Combined top.
  3. Pick a design and how many places show (5 by default, up to 8; card and avatar designs up to 5).
  4. Click "Copy URL" (example only: https://overlay.tikrift.com/t/d7Kq2mVx9LpR4sNw).
  5. In TikTok LIVE Studio: add a link source and paste the URL. In OBS: browser source. Keep TikRift open while you're live.

Coins, likes or combined?

  • Top coins: ranked by coins sent in gifts.
  • Likes: ranked by likes. Lots of chat, few gifts? This one's yours.
  • Combined top: mixes coins and likes, so it's not only about who gifts.

Nobody tells you this: a top gifters list with two names and three empty slots looks sad. Starting out, Likes or Combined fill up faster.

Which leaderboard design should I pick?

There are 11 designs. Busy screen: a compact list. First place should stand out: podium or crowns. A column down one side: a vertical avatar layout. Test it in your scene first; everything looks smaller on a phone.

How do I use it without being pushy?

  • Say their names. The leaderboard works when you read it out.
  • Keep it out of the way. Top or side, away from comments. See the overlay size guide.
  • Thank, don't pressure. Asking for gifts "to climb" looks bad. It's a thank-you, not an auction.
  • Pair it with a goal. A gift goal gives everyone a target; the leaderboard credits who pushed it.

Building the scene in Dynamic LIVE (one URL)? 8 of the designs are available there.
