Every TikTok post needs a video or at least one image.

## Options

  account.
- **Allow comments**, **Allow Duet** and **Allow Stitch**. Any you've turned off in your TikTok settings stay off.
- **Disclose content**: **Your brand** if you're promoting your own business (TikTok labels it "Promotional
  content"), or **Paid partnership** if you're promoting someone else (labelled "Paid partnership").
- **AI-generated**: TikTok's "Creator labeled as AI-generated" label. It can't be removed after publishing.

## Good to know

- **Frame rate.** TikTok refuses video under 23 frames per second. Some screen recordings are 15; re-export them at 24
  or 30.
- **Processing.** TikTok processes a video after accepting it, so it can take a few minutes to appear on your profile.
