If TikTok rejects a video
OpenClaw sees the same message and can fix the video for you.
| What you see | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| Privacy level mismatch, please check privacy settings | Pick a privacy option your TikTok account allows. Private accounts can not post as public. |
| Failed to pull video from URL, please check the URL | Upload the video to your BrokenPost media library first, then attach it from there. |
| Only pictures are supported when selecting multiple items | Send one video, or several pictures. Not both. |
| TikTok detected potential spam | TikTok flagged the post. Change the caption, avoid repeated links and space your posts out. |
| TikTok API rate limit exceeded, please try again later | Wait a few minutes and retry. TikTok limits how many posts an app can send per day. |
