Why did my video get rejected by TikTok?

Anytime a video is uploaded to TikTok, it goes through a moderation/review step by TikTok to ensure the uploaded content adheres to their community guidelines.

If your video was rejected, it could be because your content did not adhere to TikTok's community guidelines. To confirm, find your video on TikTok and TikTok should provide a reason for why your video was rejected. You can also submit an appeal if you believe no violation has occurred.

How to tell if your content has been rejected by TikTok

After you've posted your video on TikTok, check your video's review status on #paid to make sure it's also approved by TikTok.

If your TikTok Review Status appears as "Rejected" after checking, this means your video did not meet TikTok’s Ad Policies and community guidelines.

You'll also receive a push notification from TikTok saying your recent post was not approved by TikTok:

Your content status on #paid will update from "Brand Approved" back to "Pending." Please make the necessary changes to your video and reupload it to #paid for the brand to re-approve.

How to resubmit your content on #paid for re-approval

Click the "pencil" icon to re-upload your content to #paid after you've made the necessary changes for your Video.

Let the brand know that you've reuploaded your video (via Inbox) so that they can review and approve your revised content on #paid.

Once your content is approved on #paid, your content status will be updated from "Pending" to "Brand Approved."

For the final step, upload your content to TikTok for TikTok to review and approve. Your video will go through the moderation process again to ensure it adheres to their Community guidelines.
