Where Douyin Draws the Line
Public posts open for anyone with the link, and that is what this page reads. Private accounts, posts the creator limited to friends, and anything that asks you to open the app first are tied to an account the web tool does not have.
Two more things are worth knowing. A live room is not a post and cannot be saved while it is running; only a replay the creator publishes afterwards behaves like a normal video. And an entire profile or collection is a desktop-app job — this page works one link at a time.
- Deleted or under-review posts leave nothing to read.
- Some posts are only served inside mainland China and may fail elsewhere.
- Keep what you have the right to keep; reposting a creator's work without asking is not fair use.
