A workspace for the work behind the video
A clearer path
from video
to publish.
Zao brings a careful first step to video publishing: connect a TikTok Sandbox account, review your video, and request an Only me post.
For configured Sandbox target users. Public posting approval has not been obtained. Scheduling and bulk publishing are not available.
THE EDITORIAL VIEW
A little more perspective.
Every detail deserves a second look.
A direction we are exploring. Not a live publishing interface.
The first working flow
The work before
the post matters.
A finished video is only part of the job. There is still a caption to check, an account to confirm, and a publishing decision to make.
The Zao Sandbox workspace keeps those decisions visible. Select and preview a video locally, review the settings, and give explicit permission before anything is sent to TikTok.

One considered step
at a time.
A focused test flow for one video and one connected account. Availability depends on Sandbox configuration and TikTok account eligibility.
Make the details count
Review.
Give each video a final look. Review the content, caption, account, visibility, and relevant disclosures before making a publishing decision.
Content preview · Publishing settings · DisclosuresMake the decision
Confirm.
Manually choose Only me visibility and review the interaction and disclosure settings. A video is sent only after you confirm your rights and request publication.
Private visibility · Content rights · Explicit consentKnow what happened
Follow.
Follow the upload and TikTok processing result. An accepted request is shown separately from a completed private post or a failed submission.
Upload progress · Status queries · Real resultsHow we are approaching it
Clarity is a product decision.
Intentional by design
The test workspace keeps the creator in control of the content, the destination, and the decision to publish privately.
A status you can understand
Uploading a file, submitting a request, and completing a post are different events. The workspace makes that distinction visible.
Permission with a purpose
Account connection uses TikTok authorization. Publishing requires a separate, explicit decision about the selected video and settings.
An honest progress note
A private first step.
Public approval remains ahead.
Sandbox testing
The test workspace provides a single-video authorization, review, private-posting, and status-query flow for configured TikTok Sandbox target users.
Outside this test
Public posting approval has not been obtained. Scheduling, bulk publishing, a stored video library, and a public subscription service are not available.
The calendar above is an illustrative design direction. The separate Sandbox workspace sends real requests when an authorized tester explicitly confirms a post.
