Important Notes Before Getting Started:

  1. Timing: Any changes to your snippet must be made before your campaign launches.

  2. Starting Point: Ensure your TikTok sound starts at the exact point you want all videos to begin.

  3. Video Length: Most videos will use only 10-15 seconds of the sound snippet.


How to Change Your TikTok Snippet:

Method 1: Update Snippet Via Your Distributor (Recommended)

Most distributors now allow you to update your snippet directly through their platform. Simply log in to your distributor's dashboard, make the changes, and wait for the update to go live on TikTok.

Method 2: Manually Upload a TikTok Video with Your Snippet

If you're not using the TikTok sound link provided by your distributor or if you want a quicker option to change the sound clip, follow these steps:

  1. Upload a video to your TikTok channel using a snippet of your song as the audio.

  2. TikTok will create a “sound” from the video. Once your video is uploaded, tap on the sound, then edit the name of the sound to your artist name + song name.

  3. Hit the share button to copy the link.

Note: With method #2, the sound will not be linked or tracked through your distributor.


What is Your TikTok Sound Snippet?

On TikTok, you promote a snippet, not the full song. Since most videos are 10-15 seconds long, choose the part of your song that is the catchiest, most memorable, or fits the concept you want to push. How to Find Your Sound Link

What Portion of the Song Should I Pick?

Select a part of your song that showcases catchy lyrics or an instrumental segment that TikTokers would love to dance to.
