Connecting TikTok

TikTok is the quickest to connect: one authorisation login and you are done. This page covers the two TikTok-only options and the publishing limits.

Connection steps

  1. 1

    Add account → TikTok

    Channels → Add account → TikTok → Connect.

  2. 2

    Sign in through the TikTok popup

    Sign in with the TikTok account you want and approve every permission. If you manage several TikTok accounts, double-check which one you are signed in as — TikTok remembers the last session in your browser.

  3. 3

    Check the list

    The account appears under Accounts with its handle and follower count.

Two TikTok-only options

The publishing screen shows two switches no other platform has. Both are set per post.

OptionWhat it does
Allow commentsTurn it off and the post publishes with comments locked. Note that this also prevents our auto-comment feature from running on that post.
Allow content reuseLets other people Duet or Stitch your video. Turn it off if you do not want your content recut.

Limits

  • Video up to 10 minutes, vertical 9:16.
  • Caption up to 2,200 characters, hashtags included.
  • A cap of 15 posts a day per account.

AI-generated content

TikTok requires AI-generated content to be labelled. Video built here usually qualifies, so switch the AI label on in TikTok whenever your video uses an AI voice-over, an AI presenter, or AI-generated imagery.
