TikTok
Chinese company ByteDance owns the short-form video hosting platform TikTok, also known as Douyi in China. It consists of various short-form user videos from the users for their daily content. Each video lasts only 10 to 15 minutes and will portray different kinds of pranks, stunts, tricks, jokes, dancing, and entertainment. It was first launched in the Chinese market as a Douyin network in September 2016, whereas TikTok was a popular app that could be used worldwide. Most people outside mainland China saw the release of TikTok on devices like iOS and Android in 2017. However, the app only worked globally on 2 August 2018, when it was connected with Musical.ly, another Chinese social media site.

Why Is Tiktok Not Posting My Videos?
Check whether you have uploaded your video with a watermark
- Please check if your video has a watermark, as uploading a video with a watermark may cause TikTok to block your account or prevent you from uploading the video.
- If you are blocked, go to Settings to check the duration of the block and contact support if necessary.
- If your video violates TikTok's terms, the song you used may be the issue. Consider changing the song before trying to upload the video again.
- Additionally, if you edit your TikTok videos using other apps, make sure there are no watermarks from those apps in your video or try using a different editing app.
TikTok is Overbooked
- TikTok may not be working due to high traffic on the platform, and this is not necessarily a problem with your device or internet connection.
- You can ask your friends if they are also experiencing issues and check for any online reports about the problem.
- If needed, you can reach out to support for further assistance.
- It's best to wait for some time until the issue is resolved.
