TikTok on a Kotisivukamu site
TikTok is a service for short vertical videos. Hair salons and personal trainers, for example, post before and after videos, tips and glimpses of their working day there.
How it works on Kotisivukamu
The simplest way is a link to the TikTok profile in the site footer with the other social links. The link loads nothing from TikTok into the page.
A single video can also be embedded in the page with TikTok’s own embed code, for example next to a service description. The embedded video sends visitor data to TikTok, so it goes behind cookie consent and loads only after the visitor has accepted cookies. A vertical video works well on a phone but takes a lot of room on a computer, so one or two videos per page is enough.
Step by step
- Copy your profile address, in the form tiktok.com/@username, and give it to Kamu for the footer link.
- If you want to embed a video, open it on TikTok and copy its address from the share menu.
- Give Kamu the video address and the spot where it goes.
- Check the preview on a phone and a computer that the video shows correctly and the page still loads fast.

TikTok: frequently asked questions
Can the whole TikTok profile be shown on the page?
TikTok offers embeds for profiles too. Embedding many videos slows the page noticeably, though, so it is usually better to pick one good video and link to the profile for the rest. Check the embed options on TikTok’s own pages.
Can the video be uploaded straight to the site?
A short video file can also be added to the site itself, and then neither TikTok nor cookie consent is needed. Keep the file small so the page loads fast.
Does the embedded video show if the visitor does not consent?
No. A box shows in its place explaining why the content is missing, from which the cookie settings can be opened. That is why it is worth writing a line next to the video on what it shows, and linking to the profile.
