Thousands of videos go viral daily, but it seems more and more a huge percentage of those viral videos come from one source: TikTok. This vlogging platform is the fastest growing worldwide, averaging a billion monthly users.
With an interface resembling that of Snapchat, TikTok allows its users to record short videos and add sounds, filters, and effects. The video-sharing platform lets people view thousands of videos worldwide.
More importantly, the platform allows content creators to share videos on other social media platforms, including Facebook.
Ever wonder if you can share TikTok videos to your Facebook account? Believe it or not, you can share TikTok videos to your Facebook by posting them or adding them to your story.
Let’s get started!
How Do TikTok Videos Work?
TikTok is now the beloved social media platform of not just 14-year-olds but also by older influencers, celebrities, and brands. Today, major companies like Nike, Coca-Cola, Google, and ABC are running adverts on TikTok.
You can be forgiven if you find TikTok a hard-to-grasp platform…it’s fast-paced and chaotic and combines the elements of Snapchat, Twitch, Vine, and Spotify.
Here is how the video-sharing platform works:
Getting Started with TikTok
TikTok allows you to record videos up to 15 seconds long, although you can combine several clips to make videos that can span several minutes as TikTok has increased the time limit to 3 minutes for most users.
You can also upload longer videos to the platform if recorded elsewhere.
With a TikTok account, you can access video customization and editing tools, a library of songs, filters, sound bites, and effects to customize your videos. You can also “duet” with another user by creating a split-screen or replying to a video.
Interacting with TikTok Videos
Similar to an Instagram platform, TikTok videos appear on the timeline vertically. You can engage with them by commenting, liking, sharing, or downloading.
You can see the number of likes and comments each video has received. To see more videos from a user, tap their profile.
Creating your TikTok Videos
To create videos, prepare well and rehearse, click on the “plus sign” button at the bottom of the home screen, then press the record button. You can also search YouTube for tutorials on recording videos on TikTok.
Once you have recorded your video, you can edit it using different filters, adding sound, or other effects. You can then post your video or save it as a draft to post it later.
Why Would You Add a TikTok Video to Your Facebook?
If you are a Facebook regular, I am sure you’ve seen videos with the TikTok watermark on your timeline. And like other curious individuals, you may have wondered why people add TikTok videos to their Facebook.
Well, there are many reasons why you would add a TikTok video to your Facebook. For instance, it could be because you find something funny and want others to enjoy it, because you want other people’s opinion, or to increase your views.
Plus, sharing a TikTok video on Facebook saves you the hassle of editing again.
How Can You Share a TikTok Video to Your Facebook Story?
Like most social media platforms, TikTok allows users to share their messages on other platforms. You can share a video you created or another user’s content (if their privacy settings allow it).
Here is how you can share your TikTok video to your Facebook story:
- Open the TikTok app and select the video you want to share
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the video and press share
- You will be given options of where you want to share your video; select Facebook
- Once you have selected Facebook, select the Facebook story
- Upload your TikTok video to your story
You can add a caption, location, and emojis to your post. You can even customize the post before you post it on your stories.
Can You Remove the TikTok Watermark from Your Shared Video?
You may sometimes want to post a TikTok video on Facebook without linking it to your TikTok account. In such an instance, you may want to remove the TikTok watermark from the video.
So, is it possible to remove the watermark, and if yes, how?
Here are a few options to remove the watermark:
- Crop it out of the video:
This is one of the simplest approaches to removing the TikTok watermark. However, this method changes your video’s aspect ratio. This means your TikTok video will have a black margin around the content when you share it on another platform that uses similar video size specifications.
- Use an app to get rid of the watermark:
You can use some video-editing Android and iOS applications to remove the TikTok watermarks. Most of these tools import your TikTok video to the intended site and remove the watermark altogether.
- Use a video editing tool to remove it:
Some video-editing tools may prove effective in replacing the TikTok watermark with pixels from the surrounding area. The tools can also add graphics on top of the watermark.
- Download or save your video without the watermark:
This is one of the best approaches to removing the TikTok watermark from videos. The method involves downloading your TikTok video first, then removing the watermark by cropping it or using a TikTok watermark remover app.
Can You Link Your TikTok Account to Facebook to Automatically Share?
Yes, you can link your TikTok account to your Facebook account, but this doesn’t mean it will automatically share videos you post on Tik Tok to Facebook.
With each video you post on TikTok, you can choose if you want to share it on Facebook, but it won’t be shared automatically.
