How to Use

How It Works

Get started in 7 simple steps

Caution

TikTok Direct Post is not a reposting tool. Do not use it to copy videos from TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or any other platform unless you created the content or have the rights to publish it.

1. Sign in and connect TikTok

   Sign in to Posty5 and connect your own TikTok account through TikTok OAuth.

2. Upload authorized video

   Upload a video that you created or have the rights to publish.

3. Confirm TikTok nickname

   Open the TikTok publishing screen and confirm the connected TikTok nickname.

4. Review preview

   Review the video preview before publishing.

5. Edit caption

   Edit the caption and hashtags manually.

6. Select privacy

   Select a privacy option manually from the available options returned for your TikTok account. Posty5 does not preselect a privacy value.

7. Choose interactions

   Choose comment, duet, and stitch settings where available. These options are not enabled by default.

8. Complete disclosure

   Complete commercial content disclosure if the video promotes yourself, a brand, product, or service.

9. Confirm declaration

   Review TikTok’s posting declaration and explicitly confirm publishing.

10. Submit and track status

    After confirmation, Posty5 submits the video to TikTok and displays the processing status.

TikTok Direct Post

TikTok publishing in Posty5 is always creator-controlled. The connected TikTok account owner reviews the video, confirms the connected TikTok nickname, edits the caption, manually selects privacy and interaction settings, completes disclosure options when needed, and explicitly confirms publishing before any content is sent to TikTok.

Original or authorized content

Users must only publish videos they created or have the rights to publish. Posty5 does not use TikTok Direct Post to copy arbitrary third-party videos from other platforms.

What Posty5 does not do for TikTok

For TikTok Direct Post, Posty5 does not automatically repost videos from other platforms, does not publish without user confirmation, does not choose privacy settings by default, does not enable comments, duet, or stitch by default, and does not add watermarks or forced promotional text to the uploaded video.
