Before playing Lethal Company with viewers
Play with a crew who have agreed to chat control, ideally in a private lobby. Viewers can drop your scrap at the worst moment, which is the point, so make sure your friends are in on the joke. Keep the mouse yourself for looking, scanning and using items.
Lethal Company: default PC keys

Why these durations suit Lethal Company
An 800 ms forward walk covers a few steps of a corridor, which matters when the next room might hold something nasty. Back steps and strafes are 400 ms. Jump, grab, drop and dance are short taps, so one gift means one action. Sprint holds for 1,500 ms on its own screen, which lets it overlap walking and burns stamina only briefly.
Connect TikFinity to Lethal Company
- Open TikFinity Desktop on the PC running Lethal Company, 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 800 ms; 1,000 ms = 1 second. Duplicate it for each other key in the table.
- Put W and S on screen 1, A and D on screen 2, jump, grab, drop and dance on screen 3, and sprint on screen 4. Each screen keeps its own queue, so sprint can overlap a forward walk. 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 and keep queues short, because a backlog of walking can march you somewhere you did not mean to go.
- On the ship before landing, press the play icon on the forward action and click into the game within 5 seconds. The Event Simulator does not press keys, so test each action with its play button.
Lethal Company stream tips
- The drop gift is the star. Put it on a gift viewers can afford, and react when it lands at the worst possible time.
- Some interactions ask you to hold E. The 80 ms grab is a tap, so take over yourself for anything that needs a hold.
- Pause events while a monster is chasing you if you want the run to last, or leave them on for a better clip.
- Sprint drains stamina, so long or stacked sprint gifts can leave you out of breath at a bad moment.
- The dance emote is a cheap, harmless gift that keeps chat involved during quiet stretches.
Frame your Lethal Company stream
Keep the legend at the bottom right, clear of the stamina and inventory slots. Label G as Drop so viewers know exactly what they are buying.
The key boxes use CSS, with no game artwork. Alert display time controls alerts and TTS separately from key holds.
Lethal Company FAQ
Can viewers scan or use items?
Scanning and using items are on the mouse buttons, and these TikFinity actions press keyboard keys. Keep those with the host.
Can I change Lethal Company's keys?
Yes. Use Settings, Change Keybinds in game, then match any changed key in TikFinity.
Why did a grab gift not pick anything up?
E only grabs what you are looking at, and the host controls where you look. Aim at the item before a grab gift plays, or treat it as a near miss.
