Sharing TikTok videos on Facebook can be confusing since the two platforms have different ways of doing things.
But don’t worry, we’re here to help!
This guide will show you how to share your TikTok videos on Facebook in the most effective way possible.
So read on and start sharing!
How To Share Or Upload TikTok Video To Facebook?
Sharing a TikTok video on Facebook is pretty straightforward. Plus, it doesn’t take more than a second to do it.
Here are a few different yet, simple ways to do it:
- Uploading a ‘saved video’
TikTok allows you to save and download the content you’ve uploaded on the platform and many other social media platforms.
- Launch the TikTok app on your mobile device.
- Find the video you wish to share in your Facebook Story.
- Now click the “share” button (right side vertical menu).
- Choose to ‘save video’ (the download downward facing arrow button).
This way, your video will be saved in your local storage, from where you could access it and share it on Facebook Story, Feed, or as a direct message on Facebook Messenger.
- Click on ‘create a story.’
- Upload the saved video from the device’s gallery or the location chosen for downloads. You can always change this from the bar (as shown on the image).
- Share your story (add music, doodles, emojis, stickers, and many other options).
-
Uploading a TikTok video directly from the platform
If you have the TikTok app installed on your mobile device, you can quickly post any TikTok video directly on the Facebook app.
- Launch the TikTok app from your device.
- Locate your video and tap on the three dots (right side vertical menu).
You need to do this step to share a video from your TikTok profile.
- Choose how and where to share (Facebook story, News Feed, etc.).
- You might be asked to enter Facebook login credentials. The next screen that appears will be your just uploaded video on the Facebook Feed – asking you whether you want to also share it as a story.
How To Share TikTok Videos On Facebook On An Android/ iPhone/ iPad?
Before going further with the steps – you need to install both apps on your mobile device (if you have a Facebook account and a TikTok account simultaneously).
Unlike other methods that include differences on Android compared to iPhone/ iPad devices, this procedure is entirely identical on all mobile devices.
These are the basics:
- Find the video you want to share on Facebook.
- From the list of given options, choose Facebook (you might be asked to log in with your Facebook credentials).
Of course, you will be given some freedom do add
- a caption,
- Emoji,
- and make some adjustments to your TikTok video upload before hitting the share button – but this is totally up to you.
- Check ‘news feed’ or ‘story’ from the next screen.
How To Share A Longer TikTok Video On Facebook?
A Facebook Story lasts 20 seconds – tops! And TikTok videos (can) last 3x longer – up to 60 seconds.
So, if you try uploading the downloaded TikTok video from your gallery or directly from the TikTok platform – you’ll end up uploading only the starting 20 seconds.
To avoid this, try uploading the TikTok video to Instagram Stories first – and then link it to your Facebook Story.
- Link your TikTok with your Instagram (go to TikTok > Your Account > Edit Profile > Add Instagram > Sign In to Instagram and follow instructions).
- Find the video you wish to share (either from the feed, your account, or some popular trending TikTok video).
- Click on the share button found at the bottom vertical right sidebar menu.
- Find the Instagram icon (or, more preferably – the stories icon, if available on your device).
- Click the ‘send to’ button – you’ll encounter it after uploading your TikTok video on Instagram.
- Tap on Sharing Options and scroll around to find ‘ Add Facebook Story.’
- Manage your preferences – whether this type of sharing to Facebook Stories should be a one-time thing or a remembered action from this time forward.
Can You Post A TikTok Video To Facebook With Music?
Unfortunately, you can’t instantly post and upload a TikTok video to Facebook with music due to the fact that both platforms have different licenses and publishing rights for the music used in videos.
TikTok has a licensing agreement with the artists that allows users to post videos with the music on the app. Facebook, on the other hand, doesn’t have this agreement.
So, if you try to post a TikTok video with music on Facebook, the audio will be muted.
This may be frustrating if you’re trying to share a great dance routine or lip-sync performance with your Facebook friends, but it’s important to respect the artist’s copyrights.
Fortunately, there are some workarounds.
- One way is to upload the muted video and just add YouTube with the video’s original sound. Eventually, this might work in some videos not connected with lip-syncing. Check out the following:
- The best way is to use a website specialized in this matter, called Musically Down. This app/website allows you to download music videos with the sound on – and that’s precisely what TikTok videos are – they’re music videos.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the website from your preferred browser.
- Locate the video you wish to share from TikTok, and copy its URL address.
- Enter the URL in a new address bar in your browser – and press ENTER.
This step is necessary to convert the shortened TikTok URL to an original full-length URL – to be available to work within the music video converting app.
- Copy the lengthier URL and Paste it into the URL Bank of the Musically Down webpage.
5. Click the download button to finish the conversion successfully.
Now, you have the video to upload directly to your Facebook Feed or Facebook Story.
*** It’s good to note that this way is easier for desktop Facebook uploads to avoid installing the TikTok app.
But, if you wish to share from a mobile device, this isn’t necessary since TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram are successfully and legally merged apps through the primary social media integration.
Finishing Thoughts
Now that you know how to share a TikTok video on your Facebook Story go out and make some amazing videos with your friends!
And don’t forget to add music—it really makes the video come alive.
But, if you want to take it one step further, why not try integrating social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram into your Stories?
The possibilities are endless, and you can create something extraordinary with just a little bit of creativity!
