Check a video freeWhat triggers it
A visible watermark, username or logo from another platform or creator (for example a TikTok, Instagram Reels or CapCut watermark with someone else's handle), showing the video was downloaded and reposted.
What X says
“It is downloaded from X or another platform and reuploaded onto X (unless you are the author of that content)”
How to fix it
Post the original file without the watermark if it is your video; do not repost other creators' videos.
Good to know
Look for app logos and @handles in corners and in end cards, especially the last seconds. If the handle is your own, X allows it (you are the author); a clean export is still safer.
