Question

I can’t click on the original sound button, even though it is my original sound and the video has audio in it. My video is a bit less than 1 minute. Why is that?

Make sure that you have a strong internet connection. It takes some time for the audio to save to the TikTok database. Even after uploading the audio, it needs to be synced and saved.

Question

Why can't I upload to a specific sound?

Aasim

Top Answerer

Some audios (such as some music) are removed for copyright reasons. Others are removed because of community guidelines. Also, if there is no sound in your video, you will not be able to tap on the sound to group. If you are unable to use a sound, then find another sound to use out of the millions of sounds already on TikTok.

Question

I can't find the edit button on my sound. Do you have to be famous?

Aasim

Top Answerer

No, you just have to be the original poster of the sound and there cannot be any copyrighted content identified in the sound.

Question

Can I delete the private TikTok after I use the sound in a public TikTok?

Aasim

Top Answerer

Yes. Once you are done, you can delete the video. Sounds are never deleted unless if the copyright holder requests it be removed.

Question

How do I delete my own original sound?

Aasim

Top Answerer

You cannot delete original sounds that you have uploaded, as the nature of TikTok is based on remixing videos and sounds together. You can, however, select a dummy sound when uploading to prevent others from using your sound in their TikToks.
