TikTok is not playing? Novproxy sets up a compliant environment and provides a solution guide

The operators of TikTok often encounter the problems of zero views and low views, but they tend to overlook the prerequisite of network environment compliance. TikTok strictly checks the authenticity of IP addresses and regional consistency. Infringing IP addresses directly lead to “invisible throttling”; even if the environment is compliant, issues related to accounts, content, and operations can also hinder traffic. This guide, in combination with Novproxy, provides a “diagnosis – solution – guarantee” full-process solution, helping you break through the bottleneck quickly.

I. Core Diagnosis: 3 Steps to Identify the Root Cause of the Problem

Step 1: Basic Environment “Weakness” Check (Highest Priority)

Environmental issues are the primary cause of zero-play. Please verify each item on the following list:

1.Network camouflage detection

Test using the Whoer or ipinfo tools, and the degree of disguise should be above 90%. Key points to check:

• IP Type: It must be a native residential IP. Avoid using data center IPs or shared IPs (which are prone to being flagged as abnormal). It is recommended to choose Novproxy’s overseas proxy IPs. These IPs provide a pool of native residential IPs that cover the main TikTok target regions worldwide (such as the US, UK, Europe, Southeast Asia, etc.). The IP purity is high, and it can effectively prevent platform risk control triggered by IP quality issues.
• Consistency: The IP ownership location, system language, and time zone must be exactly matched with the target region (e.g., an account in the US = US IP + English + US time zone, and the time zone must be precise to the city). When using Novproxy, you can directly select the corresponding city nodes (such as Los Angeles, New York) to ensure that the IP is highly consistent with the information of the target region, reducing the risk of environmental anomalies.
• Stability: Once the IP is determined, it cannot be changed arbitrarily. Frequent switching will trigger the risk control flag.

2.Equipment purity verification

• Hardware: Remove the domestic SIM card and check if any operator information remains.
• System: The new device needs to be restored to its factory settings. The old device needs to completely uninstall TikTok and clear all remaining data, ensuring that there are no records related to banned accounts.

Step 2: Account status verification (quickly determine using the “cooperation test method”)

This is the key to distinguishing between “environmental issues” and “content issues”:

1.Operating Steps:

Search for the latest popular videos within 48 hours of the launch of blue V accounts with over 5 million followers. Click “Share → Duet” and post simple original content.

2.Result Interpretation:

• The video has views (even just a few): The account is operating normally; the problem lies in the content or the operational strategy.
• The video still has no playback: The account has been restricted (shadowbanned) or there is a fatal problem with the environment. You need to rebuild the environment or change the account.

II. Hierarchical Solution: Implementation of Corresponding Solutions in Practice

(1) Environmental and Account Issues: Rebuilding the Compliance Foundation

1.Environmental Reconstruction Plan

• Gold configuration: 1 account + 1 device + 1 fixed native residential IP (using fingerprint browser can reduce costs and support multi-account isolation operation). It is recommended to use it in combination with Novproxy overseas proxy IP. Different accounts can be paired with independent IPs to achieve complete isolation of environments between accounts and reduce the risk of association-based bans.
• Tool recommendation: Choose a service provider with high IP purity (Novproxy has IP nodes covering all the popular markets of TikTok globally, and it updates the IP pool in real time to avoid using “blacklisted IPs” marked by the platform).

2.Account rescue strategy

• Mild throttling: Pause posting for 3 days, simulate real human interaction for 30 minutes each day. On the 4th day, release high-quality original content for testing weight (if it is necessary to change the IP during this period, it is recommended to choose a new node of the same region in Novproxy to maintain consistency of the environment).
• Severe throttling (zero playback for 7 consecutive days): Simply give up. Register with a new device and a new IP (it is recommended to use a Google email address to avoid using a QQ email address). Choose the original residential IP provided by Novproxy that has just been launched for the new IP, as it has a higher initial weight.

(2) Content Issues: The Optimization Path from “Compliance” to “Bestseller”

1.Cracking zero-play: First, pass the review stage

• Picture quality: Export 1080P high-definition video. Use a data cable / wireless transmission for lossless transfer (to avoid compression blurring).
• De-duplication: Use the “5-step editing method”: mirror flipping + frame skipping and interpolation + cropping the screen + adding a picture-in-picture + replacing the copyright music (the built-in BGM library of TikTok is preferred).
• Compliance: Avoid sensitive keywords (use the platform-recommended copy template), do not insert paid advertisements, and when citing materials, provide the source.

2.Increase views: Focus on the core requirements of the algorithm

• Starting point for breaking through: In the first 3 seconds, capture attention through “pain point questioning”, “visual impact”, and “emotional resonance”.
• Content matching: Refer to the tags and topics of similar best-selling products, and identify the interests of the target audience.
• Interactive Design: End with a Cliffhanger (such as “Next time we’ll teach you XXX”) or Encourage Comments (such as “Have you ever encountered this situation?”) ）。

(3) Operational Strategy: Optimization of Content Release

• Release: Based on the active hours of the target region (such as 19-23 hours in the US region, when the Novproxy node matches the local time zone), 1-3 posts are released daily.
• Cold start: After the initial launch, automatic playback and comment collection, small accounts are guided to participate in the interaction, and the first 3 posts of new accounts are promoted for heat.

III. Pit Avoidance Guide and Long-Term Assurance

1.List of Absolute Prohibitions

• Device: Logging into multiple accounts with the same device, or frequently switching devices to log into the same account.
• Operation: Automatically post new videos, achieve more than 50 likes and comments in a single day, and increase followers and interactions.
• Batch posting of similar content, repeated posting of old videos, and use of non-copyrighted materials.
• IP Usage: Avoid sharing the same Novproxy IP node among multiple accounts, or frequently changing the Novproxy IP of different regions (if you need to change, ensure that the account content matches the audience of the new IP region).

2.Key points of daily maintenance

• Data monitoring: Every day, check the viewing rate, comments, likes and shares. If it is below the industry average, immediately optimize the content.
• Account weight: Publish 2-3 high-quality posts every week and maintain a stable update schedule.
• Risk Warning: If the view count of a single video drops by more than 50%, suspend its release for 1 day to investigate potential violations.
