Why Was My TikTok Audio Muted?

TikTok currently limits the use of music in videos to 60 seconds or less.

If your video includes a music track that plays for more than 60 seconds, TikTok may automatically mute the audio.


How to Avoid This in the Future

To keep your audio from being muted, we recommend:

  • Using less than 60 seconds of music in each video

  • Selecting tracks directly from TikTok’s Sounds or Commercial Music Library

This helps ensure your videos comply with TikTok’s music policies and stay live with sound.
