How to Quickly & Easily Share Longer TikToks

Last Updated: July 18, 2022

Is there a longer video on TikTok (more than 26 seconds long) that you want to share to your Facebook friends? While Facebook video Stories are limited to 26 seconds, TikTok videos can be up to 10 minutes long. To share an entire TikTok video to your Facebook Story, you'll need to share the video to your Instagram Story, which can also be linked to share to your Facebook Stories. If you share the longer video directly from TikTok to your Facebook Story, only the first 26 seconds of the video will post. This wikiHow will teach you how to share longer TikTok videos to your Facebook Story using Instagram as well as how to share to your Facebook News Feed.
