Kick clips download as landscape MP4s with no captions and no TikTok button. Getting one onto TikTok is a four-step chore. Here is the chore, and the way to skip it.

Manual route: create the clip on Kick (Clip icon or the C key, 10 to 180 seconds), open it and click Download to get the MP4, crop it to 9:16 and add captions in an editor like CapCut, then upload to TikTok. Kick's help pages describe no vertical export or share-to-TikTok feature, so the crop and captions are on you. Automatic route: connect your Kick channel to ReelShift and every clip arrives already vertical and captioned while you are live, ready to post to TikTok in one tap.
It works. It also means the clip goes up an hour or more after the moment, and only when you have time to edit.
With ReelShift the Kick clip never exists as a landscape file you have to fix:
The clip is on TikTok while your Kick stream is still running, which is the moment it is most likely to bring viewers back to the stream.
Kick's help pages describe a link, a chat post and a download, but no TikTok or Shorts share. You upload it yourself, or use a tool that posts for you.
No. Downloads are in the stream's original frame. ReelShift clips are reframed vertical automatically.
Yes, alongside Twitch, YouTube and TikTok Live.
The 60 seconds before you say "clip that". Auto-detected clips are cut around the moment.
