Viewers Control Fall Guys on TikTok LIVE: Complete Tutorial for Beginners
Fall Guys keyboard controls on PC: W, A, S and D move, Space jumps, Ctrl dives, Shift grabs and the mouse turns the camera. You can change any key in the game's Settings, on the keyboard controls page.
Obstacle courses are made for chat control. One gift sends your bean charging forward, another makes it leap at the wrong moment, and a grab gift hangs on to whoever is nearest. You keep the camera and decide when to take the round back.

Before playing Fall Guys with viewers
Fall Guys is online only, so every round has other players in it. Play casual shows, keep the camera on your own mouse and be ready to take over in a final if you want a real crown. Check your keyboard bindings before you start.
Fall Guys: default PC keys
Default PC keyboard controls use W, A, S and D to move, Space to jump, Ctrl to dive and Shift to grab; keep Shift held to stay holding on to a player or object. The mouse turns the camera. Check your own keybinds in Settings before copying them into TikFinity.

In TikFinity Setup, click Import below Login to TikTok, pick this file and tick Actions and Events.
Not in the file: Ctrl dive: the download's key list has no Ctrl, so add the dive action by hand and test it.
Why these durations suit Fall Guys
Courses are long, so a full second of forward running is a useful push rather than a twitch. Turns and back steps stay at 400 ms. Jump and dive are taps, because a dive commits your bean straight away. Grab holds Shift for 1,200 ms so a viewer can hang on to a ledge or a rival for a moment, and it sits on its own screen so it can overlap running.
Connect TikFinity to Fall Guys
- Open TikFinity Desktop on the PC running Fall Guys, close the browser version and finish Setup and TikTok login. Capture the game in LIVE Studio or OBS.
- In Actions & Events, create an action with Simulate keystrokes set to W, turn on game compatibility mode and complete any install prompt. Enter 1,000 ms; 1,000 ms = 1 second. Duplicate it for the other keys, and build the Ctrl dive action yourself because the download leaves it out.
- Put W and S on screen 1, A and D on screen 2, jump and dive on screen 3 and grab on screen 4. Screens queue separately, so a grab can run alongside a forward push. Add each screen URL as a Link source in LIVE Studio or a Browser source in OBS.
- Create a Sending a specific gift event for each gift and attach its action. Leave Repeat with gift combos off at first and keep queues to a few actions, because rounds end quickly and a long backlog spills into the next one.
- In the main menu or a casual round, press the play icon on the jump action and click into the game within 5 seconds. The Event Simulator does not press keys, so test each action with its play button.
Fall Guys stream tips
- A jump followed quickly by a dive covers extra distance, but gift delay makes that combo unreliable. Let the host attempt the big gaps.
- Grabbing a rival slows you down too, so put grab on a mid-priced gift rather than the cheapest one.
- Survival rounds suit chat control well, because staying alive matters more than speed.
- Pause events between rounds so a backlog does not fire during the loading screen and the next countdown.
- Keep the camera yourself. Chat pressing keys while you look the right way is far more watchable than a spinning view.
Frame your Fall Guys stream
Keep the legend at the bottom, clear of the qualified counter and the round timer at the top. Use bright key boxes, because Fall Guys is a busy, colourful screen.
The key boxes use CSS, with no game artwork. Alert display time controls alerts and TTS separately from key holds.
Fall Guys FAQ
Why is the Ctrl dive not in the download?
The download only uses keys that TikFinity's file format supports, and Ctrl is not one of them. Add a dive action by hand in TikFinity and test it with the play button.
Can chat turn the camera?
No. The camera follows the mouse and these actions press keyboard keys, so the host keeps the camera.
Does holding grab do more than a tap?
Yes. Holding Shift keeps hold of a player or object and releasing it lets go, so the 1,200 ms grab gives a short hold.
