Afraid someone is spying on your content and recording it? Unfortunately, TikTok doesn’t notify you if and when that happens.

Let alone knowing “who” screen recorded your video, you won’t even know if it happened in the first place. No eye in the sky to help you out, I’m afraid.

But is there any way to find out who screen recorded your video on TikTok? There might be. Keep reading to find out!

Summary: In this article, I discuss the issue of screen recording on TikTok and whether or not it is possible to find out who has screen recorded your content. 

I explain that TikTok does not notify users if their content has been screen recorded and that the only way to find out who did it is if they choose to tell you. 

I also warn against using apps that claim to be able to find out who screen recorded your content, as these are likely scams. Finally, I discuss the limitations of preventing screen recording.

How Can I Find Out Who Screen Recorded My Video?

Look, I’m not going to bullshit you. There’s only one way you can find out who screen recorded your video: they choose to tell you about it. Quite anticlimactic, I know. Sadly, that’s just how it is.

You can ask around in your community, and eventually, the other person may come clean. But if they don’t, there’s no way to find out who they are.

“But what about special programs that can find out who screen recorded me?“, you might ask. My answer would inevitably be, “There’s no such thing.”

Whenever you see apps that promise to do anything that even remotely intrudes upon a platform’s core functionalities (like giving you access to information you shouldn’t know), know that it’s a scam.

They’re either trying to:

• Steal your information
• Trying to get you to pay for a service
• Waste your time with cleverly-written content

In truth, if TikTok doesn’t want to give you access to something, you won’t have access to it. And if you find a way around it (unlikely), then you’re breaching the community guidelines.

And you better be sure that TikTok will eventually find out.

Can I Prevent People from Screen-Recording My Videos?

Nope, you can’t. It’s the nature of the internet, I’m afraid. You can’t stop people from screenshotting or screen recording your content.

Theoretically, there is a way to prevent this, but it’s pointless – making your content private.

If no one can see it, then no one can screen-record it. But I’m guessing that’s not an option, correct?

In any case, TikTok users don’t screen-record as often as you’d think. Snapchat users hold that trophy, fortunately.
