TikTok
Post videos and photo posts to TikTok, the choices TikTok requires before every post, and what the disclosure settings mean.
Coming soon: TikTok can't be connected yet. On the Channels page, its tile under Connect Channel says Coming soon. You can still plan and write TikTok posts; they're saved as drafts until you can connect an account. This page describes how it will work.
Social9 posts videos and photo posts to TikTok. Every TikTok post needs media.
Where to find it#
Tools → Channels → Connect Channel → TikTok. You can also press the TikTok icon under Connect more channels in the left menu.
TikTok is on the Individual plan and up.
Connecting#
- On the Channels page, press Connect Channel and pick the TikTok tile.
- Sign in to TikTok and allow Social9 to post.
What a post can include#
| Limit | |
|---|---|
| Caption | 2,200 characters |
| Video | 1 |
| Photos | Up to 35, as a photo post |
| Mix photos and video | No |
| Needs media | Yes |
How long your videos can be depends on your TikTok account. Social9 shows it under the options.
Options#
In the Create Post window, press Customize for each network and open the TikTok tab (or press Options for TikTok when it is the only network). The options are under Options for TikTok. Social9 shows your TikTok account at the top so you can check it is the right one.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Who can see this post (required) | The audiences your TikTok account allows, for example everyone, friends, followers or only you. You must choose one every time |
| Allow comments, Allow Duet, Allow Stitch | Off until you turn them on. Greyed out if you turned them off in TikTok |
| Disclose post content | Turn on if the post promotes you, a brand, a product or a service. Then pick Your brand ("Promotional content"), Branded content ("Paid partnership"), or both |
| Label as AI-generated | Marks the post as made with AI |
| Cover frame | For videos: which second of the video to use as the cover |
| Photo post title and Add music automatically | For photo posts |
By posting, you agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation, and to its Branded Content Policy when you mark branded content. The links show under the options.
Rules#
- Branded content cannot be private (Only me).
- A post set to Only me is posted privately, and the post says so.
- TikTok limits how often you can post. If you hit it, try again later.
