How it works

From an original file to a reviewed post

Use your own account and make each publishing decision yourself.

1. Prepare without an account

Open the workspace, choose an H.264 MP4 up to 50 MB and play it back. Write an English caption and hashtags. You can download the caption as a text file. The selected video and caption stay in your browser until you confirm a transfer.

2. Connect TikTok when available

Choose Connect TikTok, review the Terms and Privacy Policy, then continue to TikTok’s own authorization screen. Choose your account and permissions. Othivo does not ask for your TikTok password. After connecting, verify the account name shown in the workspace.

During TikTok review, connection and private posting tests are limited to designated test accounts. Public Direct Post is disabled until the necessary approval is granted. These restrictions do not prevent local video preparation or caption downloads.

3. Choose the destination and settings

For a profile post, choose an audience from the options returned by TikTok. Comments, Duet and Stitch start off; unavailable options stay disabled. Declare any commercial promotion and realistic AI-generated content. The duration of your video is checked against TikTok’s current account limit.

For an inbox transfer, use Download caption to keep your prepared text. TikTok’s inbox endpoint does not carry the caption, audience or disclosure settings. You choose those inside TikTok.

4. Confirm and follow the status

Confirm your content rights, review the preview and settings, and authorise the transfer. Then choose Post to TikTok or Send to TikTok inbox. Othivo temporarily stores the confirmed video and gives TikTok an expiring retrieval link.

Processing can take a few minutes. The workspace distinguishes processing from completion. If the outcome is unconfirmed, check TikTok before sending another copy. An inbox transfer must be opened from TikTok’s inbox notification and completed in the app.

5. Manage your connection and data

Sign out to end the current browser session. Use Disconnect & delete data to remove stored Othivo account data and revoke the connection. If TikTok does not confirm revocation, remove the connection in TikTok’s settings too. Already-published posts are managed in TikTok.
