# How do I set TikTok visibility, comments, Duet and Stitch?

> The TikTok fields in the composer: Privacy Status, who can comment, Duet and Stitch, and how to disclose commercial content.

TikTok asks for a few extra choices on every post. The composer shows them when your TikTok account is active. If you haven't connected TikTok yet, see [Connect TikTok](/help/connect/tiktok).

<Warning>
  Right now, PublishBuddy publishes every TikTok post as **Only Me**, so only you can see it. This happens whatever you pick in the composer. Open the post in the TikTok app afterwards to change who can see it.
</Warning>

## Post to TikTok

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick your TikTok account">
    Click **New Post** and pick your TikTok account under **Accounts**. If you picked other accounts too, click the TikTok avatar above the text box.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a video or photos">
    TikTok needs media. Add one video, or one or more images for a photo post. A text-only post stops with "TikTok does not support this type of post."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the caption">
    Type your text. It goes out as the caption.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a Privacy Status">
    Choose who can see the post. You must pick one before you can save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the other TikTok options">
    Check **Allow Users to** and **Disclose Commercial Content**. Both are explained below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule it">
    Pick a time, or add it to your queue.
  </Step>
</Steps>

TikTok only takes **Post**. **Reel** and **Story** are grayed out while a TikTok account is picked.

## Privacy Status

| Option | Who can see the post on TikTok |
| - | - |
| **Everyone** | Anyone on TikTok |
| **Friends** | Your friends on TikTok |
| **Only Me** | Only you |

You can't pick **Only Me** for branded content. TikTok doesn't allow paid partnerships to be private.

## Allow Users to

Tick the boxes for what other people can do with your post:

* **Add Comment** lets people comment.
* **Duet** lets people post a video side by side with yours.
* **Stitch** lets people use a clip of your video in theirs.

If a box is grayed out, that option is turned off in your TikTok account's own settings. Change it in TikTok to use it here.

## Disclose Commercial Content

Turn on **Disclose Commercial Content** if the post promotes a brand, product or service. Then tick one or both boxes:

* **Your Brand** is for promoting yourself or your own business. You'll see 'Your photo/video will be labeled as "Promotional content"'.
* **Branded Content** is for promoting another brand, like a paid partnership or sponsorship. You'll see 'Your photo/video will be labeled as "Paid partnership"'.

If you tick both, TikTok labels it as a paid partnership.

If you turn on the switch but tick nothing, you can't save. You'll see "You need to indicate if your content promotes yourself, a third party, or both."

At the bottom of the composer, a line says you agree to TikTok's **Music Usage Confirmation**. For branded content it adds TikTok's **Branded Content Policy**.

## Video and photo limits

PublishBuddy checks that a TikTok video is 3 seconds to 10 minutes long and no bigger than 1 GB. Images can be up to 20 MB.

Some TikTok accounts can only post shorter videos. PublishBuddy asks TikTok for your account's limit when it publishes. If your video is longer, the post fails. See [My post failed](/help/troubleshooting/post-failed).

Follow-up comments aren't available on TikTok.
