# Publish a video — TikTok

Botize method — `tiktok.post_video` (action).

Upload and publish a TikTok video with caption and privacy options.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `mb_switch` *(boolean)* — Rules
- `title` *(string)* — Title
- `file_url` *(string)* — Video File URL
- `cover_ms` *(string)* — Thumbnail timestamp (ms)
- `disable_comment` *(boolean)* — Disable comment
- `privacy_level` *(string, one of: "SELF_ONLY" = Self Only; "MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS" = Mutual follow friends; "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE" = Public to everyone)* — Privacy Level

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `mb_filters_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{publish_id}}` *(text)* — Public ID
- `{{upload_url}}` *(text)* — Upload URL
- `{{size_bytes}}` *(text)* — Size Bytes
