Discord TikTok links failing to embed properly? This common issue often stems from simple technical glitches. Try these troubleshooting steps to restore proper embed functionality:
Verify the TikTok Link
Ensure the shared TikTok URL is correct:
- Must contain "www": The link must start with . Links like "*/" or "*/" do not embed.
- Copy Directly: Get the link from the TikTok app's "Share > Copy Link" option for accuracy.
- Resend: Delete the non-working message and send the corrected link again.
Adjust Discord Settings
Ensure Discord has the required permissions and updated settings:

- Embed Permission: Check that the channel has permission for embeds. Verify Link Preview is enabled in User Settings > Text & Images.
- Server Visibility: Links sent in some private servers might not embed properly outside that context.
- Restart Discord: Fully quit and restart the Discord application.
- Clear Discord Cache: Use Discord's built-in option: User Settings > Privacy & Safety > Clear Cache.
Check TikTok Privacy Settings
Creator privacy options can block embedding:
- Creator Privacy: If you own the video, ensure Download is enabled in the video's privacy settings. Discord embeds require this.
- Private Accounts: Videos from private TikTok accounts will not embed.
Troubleshoot Connectivity
Network issues can interfere:
- Discord Status: Check Discord's official status page for known service issues.
- Try on Mobile: Send the link from the Discord mobile app to see if the issue is specific to desktop.
- 加速器/Proxy: Temporarily disable 加速器s or proxies, as they can sometimes disrupt Discord's ability to fetch embed data.
Following these steps resolves most TikTok embed failures on Discord. Focus on verifying the link format, Discord cache, and TikTok privacy settings first.
