### When posting directly:

* You have additional options, such as adding a caption, specifying the privacy settings, engagement options, and branded content.
* You can come up with content/caption of your video yourself, or you can use the [Publer AI Assist](/en/article/how-to-generate-text-with-ai-assist-hsx8fq/) for help.

**You can specify:**

* The **TikTok video privacy**, so who can view your video (i.e. Everyone, Friends, Only me).
* The **engagement options**, such as Comment, Duet and Stitch.
* The **video content**, and disclose if your video is promoting your brand or a different brand.

* You can choose 1 of the 10 automatically generated thumbnails, since custom thumbnails are not supported for TikTok. Learn more about that [here](/en/article/how-to-set-a-custom-thumbnail-for-a-video-4d7i7q/).
* You can add a signature to your post but keep in mind the [character limitations](/en/article/what-is-the-character-limit-for-all-social-networks-1a3utwz/) when doing that.

### When posting via push-notifications/reminders:

* You don't have any additional options. You need to only add the TikTok video and specify the time when you want the post to be scheduled.
* When the time comes, you will receive a notification and you can finalize posting your TikTok as shown [here](/en/article/how-to-post-tiktok-videos-via-push-notifications-bba9cl/).

# FAQs:

* **Can the TikTok settings be chosen by default?**

Due to API limitations from TikTok, the privacy and engagement settings have to be chosen manually for each video. It's not possible to have default settings as that is prohibited by the TikTok API. Their Legal and Trust & Safety team is still reviewing this option, however, there will be no changes in the near future unfortunately. 

* **Can I add sounds to my TikTok videos?**

You can add a sound to your video before hand and then upload it to Publer and schedule it. However, it's not possible to add sounds while you are creating the TikTok post in Publer, due to API limitations.
