StreamLive ProThe trial watermark and TikTok
During the free trial, everything the system makes for you (Shorts, exports, translations) carries a small "Made with StreamLive Pro" mark. TikTok does not let apps post videos with such a mark, so those Shorts cannot be sent there. Once you choose a plan the mark is gone.
During the free trial a small watermark, "Made with StreamLive Pro", appears on every video the system makes for you: automatic Shorts, videos you export from the editor and translated videos. Paid plans have no watermark.
Why TikTok doesn't accept these Shorts
TikTok's rules say an app may not post a video that the app added a logo or watermark to. So when you try to send a Short made during the trial to TikTok, you see: "TikTok does not allow apps to post videos with an added logo or watermark, and videos made on your current plan carry the Made with StreamLive Pro mark."
This is not a fault, and it has nothing to do with your TikTok account.
Step by step
- Choose a plan in Billing. Shorts and videos you make from then on have no watermark and can be sent to TikTok.
- You can post your original video to TikTok from Publish Everywhere. We do not add a watermark to a file you uploaded yourself.
- You can download the Short with Download and keep it. The watermark stays on it.
If it doesn't work
- I upgraded and an old Short still has the watermark. The mark is burned into the Short when it is made. Make the Short again after upgrading and it comes out without the mark.
- The video was sent to TikTok but not posted. In some cases the video reaches TikTok as a draft. Open TikTok, tap the notification, choose who can see the video and post it.
- I see a watermark notice in the export window. It is a reminder that during the trial the mark is embedded in the file. Once you choose a plan the notice goes away.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the watermark?
Choose a plan on the Billing page. From then on videos are made without the mark. Shorts that were already made need to be made again.
Why is TikTok blocking my Short?
Because during the trial it carries a watermark, and TikTok does not let apps post videos with such a mark.
Will a video I uploaded myself get a watermark?
No. We do not add a mark to a file you upload and post as it is. The mark only appears on what the system makes for you.
Can I post a watermarked Short to Instagram or Facebook?
Yes. This rule is TikTok's only. On networks like Instagram and Facebook the Short is posted with the small mark on it.
