A Guide on Turning Your Private TikTok Video Public

Table of Contents

With the ongoing popularity of TikTok, more and more people are looking for ways to make their videos known. However, it takes some trial and error attempts before you can make the right video for publishing. This is why people typically save their videos in “private” for the time being.

Eventually, you’ll find the confidence to say that you’re comfortable with everyone seeing your video. So, is it something you’re comfortable sharing with the world? Then, consider the ramifications of making your video public.

If you’re comfortable with all these things, turning your private TikTok video into public is a significant step toward getting more views and likes.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do it:

Step 1: Launch The TikTok App And Tap On Profile

To start, launch the TikTok app and tap on your profile. This will display all of your videos, both public and private.

Step 2: Click On The Private Video And Tap On Three Vertical Dots

Next, click on the private video that you want to make public. Once you’ve done that, tap on the three vertical dots in the top right-hand corner.

Step 3: Modify Privacy Settings

A menu will pop up, allowing you to modify the video’s privacy settings. Click on the “Public” option to make the video viewable by everyone.

Step 4: Choose The Public Option

The final step is to confirm that you want to make the video public. Once you’ve done that, the video will be viewable by anyone who visits your profile.

Can You Un-Private A TikTok Video?

What if you change your mind and wish to make the video public? Can you un-private a TikTok video?

One way to make your videos private is to set your account to Private mode. This will prevent anyone who isn’t following you from seeing your videos. To do this, move to your Profile settings and toggle the Private Account setting.

Another way to make your videos private is to choose who can see them on a per-video basis. To do this, go to the privacy settings for the specific video you want to make private. Under the “Who can see this video” set, select “Only Me.” This will make the video visible only to you, and no one else will be able to see it.

If you want to make sure that only certain people can see your videos, you can also add a password to them. To do this, go to the privacy settings for the specific video to which you want to add a password. 

Under the “Who can see this video” setting, select “Password Protected.” You’ll then be prompted to create a password for the video. Once you’ve done this, only people who know the password can view the video.

Why is your Video not Working When You Posted It?

It’s frustrating when you’re trying to post a video on TikTok marketing, and it won’t go public. There are a few probable reasons why this might be taking place.

1. The TikTok Server May Be Down

If the TikTok server is down, you won’t be able to post any videos. This is usually a momentary problem that will be fixed soon. You can check the TikTok website or app to see if there are any updates on the server status.

2. The App is Reviewing your Video

When you add a video to TikTok, it has to be reviewed by the app before it can be made public. This process usually only picks up a few minutes, but it can sometimes take longer if many videos are ahead of yours in the queue.

3. Your Mobile Data Is Out Of Service

If you’re trying to post a video from your phone and you don’t have a good internet connection, the video might not upload correctly. Make sure you have a substantial internet connection before trying to upload a video.

Conclusion

Once you turn your private videos public, it’s now your task to track your progress. Keep in mind, however, that public TikTok videos can be seen and shared by anyone, so be sure only to make public those videos you’re comfortable with everyone seeing.
