Cross post TikTok to Bluesky
Post your original video file to Bluesky and it plays right in the feed, up to 10 minutes. TikTok has no button for Bluesky, and anything saved from TikTok carries its logo, so start from the original and post it to both at the same time, with a shorter caption for Bluesky.
What changes between the two
| TikTok | Bluesky | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 3 seconds to 10 minutes | Up to 10 minutes |
| Caption | 2,200 characters | 300 characters |
| Shape | Vertical | Any shape |
| Account | Any account | A verified email, before the first video |
What Bluesky does with your video
A video you upload plays in the Bluesky feed. A post holds one video, or up to four images.
Bluesky asks for a verified email on your account before your first video upload. If you've never posted a video there, check that first.
TikTok and Bluesky both allow 10 minutes, so length rarely trips you up. The caption does: 300 characters is much shorter than TikTok's 2,200.
Post it to both at once
Keep the original
Export the finished video from your editor, or use the one in your camera roll. A video saved back out of TikTok carries its logo, so the original is the one to post.
Connect TikTok and Bluesky
Open Deploy and connect both. It takes about a minute each, and you only do it once.
Upload once
A vertical 1080 by 1920 MP4 plays well on both. Deploy checks it against both before anything posts.
Write the caption
Write one caption. The Bluesky box holds 300 characters, so if yours is longer, Deploy says so and offers Shorten, which starts a version just for Bluesky. The other platforms keep the full one.
Deploy
Both go out together, or schedule them for later. Each platform reports back on its own.
