TikTok
Videos or photos, posted directly or as drafts, plus comments and statistics.
Account: a personal or business TikTok account, connected through TikTok's official login. To post videos, the account must be public.
What you can post
TikTok always needs media, and a post holds videos or photos, never both.
| Type | Rules |
|---|---|
| Video | 1 video, up to 10 minutes or your account's limit (TikTok shows it in the composer) |
| Photos | 1 to 35 photos. Photo title up to 90 characters. PNG is sent as JPEG automatically |
Post text up to 2,200 characters.
Settings in the TikTok account tab
TikTok requires some choices to be made by the account owner, so Tebar never fills them in for you:
- Post directly or Send as a draft. A draft goes to your TikTok app's notifications to be finished there.
- Who can see it: required for direct posts. Videos are always public; the other options only apply to photos.
- Allow comments, Duet, and Stitch. All are off until you turn them on; Duet and Stitch are for videos only. Anything turned off in your TikTok settings stays off.
- Content disclosure: turn it on when the post promotes yourself, a brand, a product, or a service.
- Photos only: title and automatic music.
By posting to TikTok, you agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation.
A private TikTok account can only post photos or drafts. For videos, turn off Private account in the TikTok app (Profile → menu → Settings and privacy → Privacy).
After posting
TikTok moderates every post before it goes live, usually in under a minute. The link to the post shows up in Tebar a few minutes after it publishes.
Quota
About 15 posts per 24 hours per account, counted by TikTok across every app you use, and 6 a minute. Tebar sends at most 3 posts a minute to one account; the rest wait for the next minute.
If TikTok still holds a post back for these limits, the post does not fail: it shows as Waiting, is tried again by itself (after 5 minutes for the per-minute limit, every hour for the daily one), and you get an email, at most once a day per account. To avoid the wait, spread your TikTok posts over the day. See Limitations.
Comments and statistics
- Comments on your latest videos arrive in the Comments inbox every 30 minutes, and can be replied to or hidden from Tebar.
- Statistics: followers, views, likes, comments, shares, and profile visits, up to 60 days back. TikTok's daily numbers lag 1 to 2 days.
