Link TikTok with Instagram or YouTube
One way to streamline the task of sharing videos on multiple social networks in one go is to link your accounts with each other. In this sense, TikTok makes it very easy for us, since it allows you to connect your TikTok account with that of other similar services such as Instagram or YouTube. As simple as it sounds.

An Instagram or YouTube screen will open, depending on the chosen social network, for you to log in with your username and password. Then you must confirm that you want to link both accounts. The process is safe and you can choose whether or not to save your login details, so you don't have to constantly enter them.
