Motive on TikTok LIVE
The vertical layout puts the whole game on a phone screen, kept clear of TikTok's buttons. Your viewers vote from their phones while they watch.

Host a game and pick Vertical
Start a game at motivemystery.com/party/create. On the host screen press Stream, choose Vertical and press Copy OBS link. The same link works in TikTok LIVE Studio. The vertical game is 1080 x 1920, sized to read on a phone.

Add it in TikTok LIVE Studio
In LIVE Studio, switch the canvas to portrait. Press Add source, choose Link, paste your link and pick a custom resolution of 1080 x 1920, then size it to fill the canvas.
TikTok's phone app can't add a web page to a LIVE, so run the game from LIVE Studio (or OBS) on a computer.
THE VERTICAL GAME, 1080 X 1920, MID-VOTE - 03
TikTok’s buttons stay clear
TikTok draws its own bar across the top, comments and buttons along the bottom, and a column of buttons down the right. The vertical game keeps every word and every vote inside the space they leave: below the top 130 px, above the bottom 370 px and 140 px in from the right. TikTok moves its buttons a little between app versions, so check your own LIVE preview once.

Use the vertical scenes
The kit's Vertical folder has Starting soon, Be right back, Case closed and Just chatting at 1080 x 1920, plus a webcam frame and a lower third, all inside the same safe area. Add them as Image sources. TikTok shows its own comments, so the vertical game leaves the chat box out.

If the game shows up blank
Some LIVE Studio versions open a Link source at no size at all. Set the custom resolution again, or bring the game in through OBS: add it to OBS at 1080 x 1920 as the OBS guide shows, press Start Virtual Camera, and in LIVE Studio add a Camera source and pick OBS Virtual Camera.
