How to display TikTok on a TV screen
Last updated October 5, 2026
To get TikTok videos onto a TV you can cast them from a phone, use a TikTok app on the TV, or connect your account through digital signage software. Casting stops when the phone leaves the room, and a TV app is made for someone holding a remote. Signage software plays your own latest videos on the screen all day, one after another, and picks up new ones on its own.
With Screenbird, for example, you connect your TikTok account once, choose a layout with your name, caption and a QR code, and push it to any paired screen. Once your screen is paired, the setup takes about two minutes.
The end result, live on your TV.
What you need
- A TV or monitor with an HDMI input
- A media player: Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options
- A Screenbird account (free trial, then $18 per screen per month)
- Your TikTok login, or the links to the public videos you want to show
Can't I just cast it?
There are quicker ways to get TikTok onto a TV, but they all break down for a screen that has to run on its own:
Casting from a phone is fine for a moment, but the phone has to stay nearby and on. Take it away and the screen goes dark.
A TikTok app on the TV is made for watching with a remote in hand, not for a screen that plays your own videos all day without anyone touching it.
Downloading your videos works once, but every new video means saving and uploading it again, and the screen soon falls behind your account.
Digital signage software exists for exactly this job: it connects your account once, plays your latest videos in turn, adds new ones by itself and lets you manage the screen from anywhere. That is the route in the steps below.

Pair your screen
Install the Screenbird player on your TV or stick. It shows a 6-character pairing code. Enter that code in your dashboard to connect the screen.
Add the TikTok app
In Files, click New and choose New app. Then pick TikTok from the app browser.
Connect your account or paste links
Choose Own account, click Connect with TikTok and sign in. Or choose Single videos and paste the links to the videos you want, one per line.
Pick a layout and check the preview
Choose Video with info for your name, caption and a QR code beside the video, or Video only. Check the preview, set how often new videos are fetched, then save.
Send it to your screen
Click Send to screen and pick the screen. Your videos start playing within seconds, and new ones join at the next refresh.
The result
Your TikTok now plays on the screen. Every video you post joins the rotation at the next refresh, without anyone touching the screen itself.
