The 60-Second Rule for TikTok Music

If you're looking to create engaging TikTok videos, understanding the platform's music time limits is essential. Currently, TikTok has set a 60-second maximum duration for using licensed music in your videos. This rule is crucial to ensure your video doesn't get muted.

Why the 60-Second Limit Matters?

Using music in your TikTok videos can significantly increase viewer engagement and make your content more memorable. However, exceeding the 60-second limit can lead to your video being muted. Therefore, adhering to this guideline is vital for effective content creation on TikTok.
