1. How To Do Direct Publishing for TikTok?
Here is how you can do direct publishing for TikTok from SocialPilot:
Go to Create Post and select the TikTok tab to create your TikTok post.
- Click on the Video Upload icon and upload your video. You can select a video from your local device or from cloud storage like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box.
📋 Note: TikTok video requirements:
- Length: 3 seconds to 10 minutes
- Format: MP4 or MOV
- Max size: 512 MB
- Resolution: 360-4096 px (height/width)
- Frame rate: 23-60 FPS
- Codec: H.264, H.265
- Choose a thumbnail from the provided stills.
Enter a description (up to 2,200 characters). You can add hashtags, emojis, and mention user profiles by entering their exact username.
- The default mode is Direct Publishing. If you want to proceed with direct publishing, you will need to specify the following options:
Privacy Settings: Choose who can view your TikTok video:
- Public: Visible to everyone.
- Mutual Friends: Visible to followers you also follow back.
- Self: Visible only to you.
Allow Users To: Set permissions for TikTok users to engage with your video by allowing comments, duets, or stitches. If your TikTok profile settings disable these options, the platform will override the video settings.
📋Note: By default, all engagement settings (comments, duets, stitches) are enabled.
- Choose the TikTok account and set the time and date for your post using the scheduling options.
📋 Note: You can schedule the same TikTok video across multiple profiles simultaneously.
- If you are promoting your brand or a third-party brand, you must declare it by selecting the Branded Content option. This option becomes mandatory if the privacy is set to Public or Mutual Friends.
📋 Note: You cannot set the privacy as "Self Only" if you have selected Branded Content.
📋 Note: When creating a TikTok post, if you do not specify a privacy setting, the post will automatically be set to 'Public to everyone', making it visible to all users by default.

Toggle from Direct Publishing to Mobile Reminder under the description field.
At the scheduled time, you will receive a push notification on your phone.
Click Share on TikTok from the notification or the Scheduled Posts section under Reminders in the app.
SocialPilot will take you to your TikTok account with a preview of the post. Tap on Share Now and then tap Proceed to copy the post description to your clipboard.
- Paste the description in TikTok’s caption box and click Post to finalize your scheduled TikTok.
📋 Note: If you miss the notification, you can still find the post under the Scheduled Posts tab in the Reminders section of the SocialPilot app.
