Scan TikTok for copies of your content
Detect illegal copies with TikTok Scan. Identify infringing videos using TikTok video search and protect your content across one of the world’s largest video platforms.
What is TikTok
A brief look at TikTok’s journey from a short-form video app to one of the world’s largest online media platforms.
What is Tiktok
Launched in 2016, TikTok is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing social media platforms, with more than 1.8 billion monthly active users worldwide.
Originally designed for short-form video sharing, TikTok has evolved into a global entertainment platform where creators, brands, media companies, and rights holders publish and distribute content every day. Today, users can:
- Reach 1.8+ billion monthly active users worldwide
- Upload and share short-form videos in seconds
- Broadcast live streams and interact with audiences
- Reach global audiences with AI
- Create, remix, and edit videos with built-in creative tools
- Add licensed music, effects, and captions to videos
- Distribute content globally across 150+ countries
For a platform of this scale, effective copyright monitoring remains a major challenge. Millions of new videos are uploaded every day, making it difficult for rights holders to find unauthorized copies before they spread.
TikTok provides copyright reporting tools, TikTok Content ID solutions, and MediaMatch technology, but these systems do not eliminate the need for independent TikTok video search and proactive monitoring. TikTok Scan helps rights holders find video copies, identify TikTok piracy, and protect movies, TV shows, sports broadcasts, music, and other premium content.

TikTok Copyright Policy
TikTok complies with international copyright regulations, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and provides copyright owners with several mechanisms to report infringing content. Rights holders can submit takedown requests through TikTok’s Copyright Report Form, while eligible partners may also use TikTok Content ID and TikTok MediaMatch to identify matching copies of protected content.
These tools are designed to process copyright claims after infringing content has already been identified. However, with more than 117 million videos uploaded every day, discovering unauthorized copies remains the most difficult part of the enforcement process. Manual TikTok video search is time-consuming, while infringing videos can quickly spread through TikTok’s recommendation algorithms before they are reported.
TikTok MediaMatch can assist eligible partners by matching uploaded reference content against videos published on the platform. However, MediaMatch is not available to every copyright owner and does not replace continuous monitoring, broad content discovery, or proactive TikTok piracy detection.
For many studios, broadcasters, distributors, and media companies, the greatest challenge is not submitting a takedown request – it is finding infringing videos quickly enough. Detecting unauthorized uploads before they accumulate significant reach requires continuous monitoring, automated video fingerprinting, scalable content discovery technologies, and continuous TikTok video search.
WebKyte TikTok Scan addresses this challenge by continuously scanning TikTok for unauthorized copies of movies, TV series, live broadcasts, sports content, anime, music videos, and other copyrighted works. Using AI-powered video fingerprinting, TikTok video search, and automated detection technologies, the platform helps copyright owners identify infringing content faster, improving the efficiency of copyright enforcement on TikTok.

Once infringing videos are identified, the next step is submitting copyright takedown requests to TikTok. While TikTok provides copyright reporting tools, including TikTok Content ID and TikTok MediaMatch for eligible partners, the real challenge is discovering unauthorized copies before they spread to millions of viewers.
WebKyte combines AI-powered video fingerprinting, TikTok video search, automatic content recognition, and TikTok Scan to help copyright owners detect unauthorized copies, combat TikTok piracy, and protect their content on TikTok.
