If you have a TikTok video that you want your Facebook friends or followers to see, you may be wondering: how do you share a TikTok to Facebook Story? TikTok makes it possible to share videos to other social media platforms, including Facebook, although the exact sharing options can vary depending on your device and app version.
You can share a TikTok directly to Facebook or save the video and upload it to your Facebook Story manually. In this guide, we’ll explain both methods and what to do if the Facebook Story option isn’t available.
Can You Share a TikTok to Facebook Story?
Yes.
You can share a TikTok video to your Facebook Story using either:
- TikTok’s built-in Share option.
- A saved TikTok video uploaded manually to Facebook.
The available options may vary depending on your TikTok and Facebook apps.

Can You Share Someone Else’s TikTok to Facebook Story?
Yes, if the TikTok has sharing enabled.
However, if you’re sharing someone else’s content, remember that the original creator owns the content.
If appropriate:
- Give credit to the creator.
- Don’t claim the video as your own.
- Respect the creator’s privacy and sharing settings.
Can You Share Your Own TikTok to Facebook Story?
Yes.
Sharing your own TikTok videos to Facebook Stories can help you reach people who don’t follow you on TikTok.
You can either:
- Share the TikTok directly through the Share menu.
- Save the video and upload it to Facebook manually.
Why Can’t I Share TikTok to Facebook Story?
Several issues can prevent the option from appearing.
Facebook Isn’t Installed
TikTok may not show Facebook sharing options if the Facebook app isn’t installed or properly configured.
Outdated Apps
Update both TikTok and Facebook to their latest versions.
Sharing Options Vary
TikTok’s available sharing options can depend on:
- Your device
- Region
- Account
- App version
The TikTok Can’t Be Downloaded
If the creator has disabled downloads, you may not see Save video.
Temporary App Glitch
Try closing and reopening both apps.
You can also restart your phone.
Does Sharing a TikTok to Facebook Automatically Post It?
No.
Sharing a TikTok to Facebook normally opens Facebook so you can review and customize the Story before publishing it.
You still need to confirm the post.
Tips for Sharing TikToks to Facebook Stories
Use the Original Video
If you’re sharing your own TikTok, using the original video file can provide better quality.
Keep the Video Vertical
TikTok videos are already designed for vertical viewing, which works well with Facebook Stories.
Add Context
Use Facebook Story text or stickers to explain what you’re sharing.
Credit Other Creators
When sharing someone else’s content, crediting the original creator is a good practice, while also respecting their content rights.
