Step by step
- 01
Duplicate the scene collection
Nicole, stream vertical ↗Make a copy named Vertical. Leave the horizontal profile unchanged so you can return to the normal stream if a test fails.
What you should see: The horizontal scene remains available.
- 02
Check the plugin release
Nicole, stream vertical ↗Read Aitum Vertical release notes and compare them with your OBS version before installing. Avoid betas for an important show.
What you should see: OBS opens and the plugin loads without error.
- 03
Make the canvas and zones
Nicole, stream vertical ↗Design the vertical frame before moving sources. Reserve space for face, game, chat, and text. Check a small preview because text that barely reads on a monitor disappears on a phone.
What you should see: Every source has a clear place.

Reframe camera and gameplay
Nicole, stream vertical ↗Crop each source for 9:16 and check minimap, subtitles, and game controls. Do not stretch the horizontal scene and expect the framing to fix itself.
What you should see: Game and camera remain readable.
- 05
Test virtual camera or output
Nicole, stream vertical ↗Nicole shows virtual camera with TikTok Live Studio and other routes. Open the method available to your account and confirm which signal it receives before entering a key or connecting a relay.
What you should see: The destination shows a test signal, or you know the account does not have access yet.

Choose relay or separate outputs
Nicole, stream vertical ↗A relay can simplify sends. Separate outputs give more control and more load. Check limits, permissions, and network before committing to a destination.
What you should see: You know which app receives each signal.

Record and review the scene
Nicole, stream vertical ↗Record movement, voice, chat, and a scene change. Open the file at small size and correct clipping, audio, or text before going live.
What you should see: Playback confirms composition and audio.
If something does not work
- Text is clipped.
- Move it inward and inspect it on a small screen. Reframing a source does not change a phone safe area.
- The plugin breaks OBS.
- Remove it from the test collection and check published-version requirements. Keep the horizontal profile until the vertical one passes a recording.
- The platform lacks the expected output.
- Do not invent a key or force a method. Check that account dashboard and use a vertical recording until access appears.
Test before you go live
- The horizontal profile remains intact
- You tested the vertical scene in a local recording
- Text and camera are readable at phone size
- You checked each destination in its own dashboard
- No stream keys appear in a scene or screenshot
Cómo hacer stream vertical para TikTok e Instagram desde OBS
Watch the full tutorial ↗Common questions
Does Aitum give TikTok or Instagram Live access?
No. Aitum organizes the OBS scene. Each platform decides whether an account can use virtual camera, an encoder, or another method.
Can I reuse my horizontal scene?
You can reuse sources, but you need to frame them again. Vertical needs different zones for camera, game, and text.
Is virtual camera the same as a stream key?
No. Virtual camera sends a signal to an app. A stream key connects an encoder. Use only the method the account shows and permits.
Do I need to stream to test the design?
No. A local recording reveals crop, text, voice, and load before you connect an account.
