# Connect a TikTok account

> Add your TikTok account to PublishBuddy so you can schedule videos to it.

You can connect a TikTok account on any plan. It counts as one of your plan's social accounts. See [Which social accounts can I connect?](/help/connect-accounts)

Each TikTok account you connect is one social account. To post to two TikTok accounts, connect each one on its own.

## What you need first

* A TikTok account you can log in to.
* If you use more than one TikTok account, know which one is logged in to TikTok in this browser. The login window uses that one.

## Connect your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the networks">
    Click **Accounts** in the sidebar, then **Add Social Accounts**. Click the **TikTok** tile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in to TikTok">
    A TikTok window opens. Log in to the account you want to post to and allow access.

    If no window opens, your browser blocked the pop-up. See [The login window didn't open](/help/troubleshooting/popup-blocked).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the account">
    Back in PublishBuddy, a window lists your TikTok account by its display name. Click **Connect** next to it. The button changes to **Connected**. Then click **Done**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you'll see

A message confirms it, like "1 TikTok account added". PublishBuddy takes you back to **Accounts**, and your TikTok account shows up in the list.

## When you post to TikTok

Each time you pick a TikTok account in the post window, PublishBuddy checks that account's current settings with TikTok. If your TikTok settings turn off comments, Duet or Stitch, you can't turn on the matching option (**Add Comment**, **Duet** or **Stitch**) in PublishBuddy either. Change the setting in TikTok to use it.

TikTok posts need a video or images. See [Post types for each network](/help/limits/post-types-by-network).

## Common problems

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The wrong TikTok account shows up">
    The window used the account that's logged in to TikTok in your browser. Log out of TikTok in another tab, log in to the right account, then connect again. To get rid of the wrong one, see [Remove a social account](/help/connect/remove-account).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="We didn't receive any data from TikTok">
    The account is already connected in this workspace, or you didn't allow access in the TikTok window. Check **Accounts** first. If it isn't there, connect again and allow everything TikTok asks for.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The account needs to be reconnected">
    TikTok ended PublishBuddy's access. [Reconnect the account](/help/connect/reconnect) with the same TikTok login.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
