Why TikTok May Remove Your Sound #
When you upload a video with your song in it, it’s important to follow the proper process. If you upload a video without doing so, TikTok might remove your sound or take it down due to copyright issues. This is similar to how platforms like YouTube and Instagram operate and your music distributor (i.e Boomkit) is not at fault.
Why This Matters:
- Monetization: When your song is distributed to TikTok, it becomes part of their library. This means your content is monetized.
- Royalties: TikTok is obligated to pay you royalties every time someone uses your song. Following the correct process protects your rights and earnings.
How to Upload a Video with Your Sound Without Issues
- Confirm Distribution:
Make sure your song has been distributed on Boomkit and is live on TikTok. - Open the TikTok App:
Launch the app on your device. - Search for Your Song:
- Tap the Search icon (located at the top right).
- In the search box, type in the title of your song followed by your artist name.
Example: “First Time Mario Rf” (where “First Time” is the song title and “Mario Rf” is the artist name).
- Locate Your Song:
- In the search results, tap the “Sounds” tab.
- Find your song listed there.
- Use the Sound:
- Tap on “Use Sound.”
- This action will open the TikTok video upload/edit modal, allowing you to create your video with the correct sound attribution.
Following these steps ensures that your video is uploaded correctly and your sound remains intact, so you continue to receive the royalties you deserve.
