What is Pogzo and how the chat plays games on a stream

Pogzo has games for TikTok LIVE that the viewers play. They write messages in the chat and send gifts, and the game on the stream screen replies at once. This article tells how it works, which games Pogzo has and what you need to start.

Pogzo in short

On a usual stream, all the work is on the streamer. The streamer talks, and the chat only reads and sometimes replies. With Pogzo, the viewers have a task. They guess words, vote and fight in teams. The streamer runs the game and talks about the moves.

Pogzo has 15 games for a stream, and new games come regularly.

Why a streamer needs chat games

A viewer who only watches can go to another stream at any time. A viewer who plays usually stays until the round ends, and writes in the chat.

  • The chat comes alive. Each message is a move in the game. So the viewers have something to write from the first minutes of the stream.
  • The stream can get more recommendations. Platforms recommend streams with an active chat more often. A game gives the viewers a reason to write.
  • Gifts have a purpose. In Pogzo games, a gift is more than an animation. It gives a hint, skips a question, brings a viewer back into the battle or calls a boss for a team.
  • The stream is easier to run. The game counts the moves, finds the winner and starts a new round. You do not have to find a new topic each minute.

How Pogzo games work

The game runs on the Pogzo servers and reads the chat of your TikTok stream. Your streaming app only shows the game page over the video, so you do not need a powerful computer.

  1. A viewer writes in the chat. The message is a word, a digit or an answer, as the game asks.
  2. The game replies on the screen at once. It shows the move, the name and the avatar of the viewer.
  3. Gifts change the game. The streamer selects what each gift does and its price in coins.
  4. The game runs the rounds. It shows the winner and starts a new round after a few seconds.

The streamer controls the game in a panel on the Pogzo site. In the panel, you can change the settings, turn on hints, stop the game or start a new round. The viewers do not see the panel. They see only the game.

        How to add a game to your stream

        The setup takes one minute. You can stream from a computer with a streaming app or from a phone.

        1. Sign up on pogzo.com and open the game panel.
        2. Type your TikTok name. The panel gives the link to the game for your stream.
        3. Add the link to your streaming app. In OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio, add a browser source with this link. Set the width to 1080 and the height to 1920. By default, the size is 800×600, and the game does not fit.

        Now start the stream, and the chat can play. Pogzo does not need your TikTok password: the game reads the open chat of the stream by your name.

        No computer? On your phone, tap "Open the game" in the panel, then tap "Start" in the game. Then start a TikTok LIVE with a screen share. For all the steps, read how to stream TikTok games from your phone.

        How Pogzo is different from game apps

        Many TikTok LIVE games are apps for Windows. You must download and install them, and keep them open during the stream.

        ControlA panel on the Pogzo siteThe app window on the stream computer

        The games also have their own language setting. In the panel, select the game language of your viewers. Pogzo has 12 game languages, but not each game has all of them.

        How much Pogzo costs

        Each day, 40 minutes of stream with games are free. For longer streams, you need a plan. All plans have all the games, the streamer panel and TikTok gifts, with no limit on viewers.

        PlanPriceWhat it gives
        Start$4 a month3 hours of stream a day
        Unlimited$7 a monthNo limit on stream time
        Pro$12 a monthNo limit on stream time and no pogzo.com watermark

        For more information, read the pricing page.

        The games work on TikTok LIVE now. Games for Twitch and YouTube come later.

        Questions and answers

        Is Pogzo a TikTok bot?

        Not really. Pogzo reads the chat of your stream as a bot does, but the main part is the game on the stream screen. The viewers see the game and play it with messages and gifts.

        Does Pogzo need my TikTok password?

        No. Pogzo needs only your TikTok name. The game reads the open chat of the stream, the same as any viewer.

        Do the viewers see the control panel?

        No. The panel is open only for you, on the Pogzo site. The viewers see only the game on the stream screen.

        Can I play Pogzo games on a phone stream?

        Yes, you do not need a computer. Open the game in your phone browser, tap Start and start a TikTok LIVE with a screen share. The game fits the phone screen.

        How much does Pogzo cost?

        Each day, 40 minutes of stream with games are free. For more time, plans start at $4 a month. All games and the streamer panel are in each plan.
