# TikTok LIVE Top Gifters: How to Show Them On Screen

By [Matías González (MattsinLife)](https://tikrift.com/en/author/matias-gonzalez/) · Live streaming content creator · Updated Oct 31, 2026

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](/en/guides/tiktok-live-overlay-size/).
- **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](/en/guides/tiktok-live-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.
