TikTok only allows the use of commercial sounds due to copyright restrictions. To keep content diverse and legally safe, TikTok limits non-commercial sound usage to personal or non-commercial accounts. If you’re seeing this restriction, it may be because your account is set to a business or creator mode. Switching back to a personal account could resolve this. Alternatively, consider using royalty-free music or sounds available within TikTok’s commercial music library.
