How to track accounts
How to add accounts that you want to track from Instagram and TikTok, and how to mute profiles.
In this article, we'll show you how to effectively track Instagram/TikTok accounts of your choice.
By defining specific accounts to follow, you'll seamlessly gather all relevant content from these accounts, automatically saving it to your "My UGC" section daily. Let's dive in!
Add Accounts
Locate the Instagram section, and click on Connect Instagram account.

This will prompt a modal to connect to your Instagram account and allow syncing of UGC.

Once connected, the associated Instagram account(s) will appear below the track account mentions.
Tracking will be turned off by default, so make sure you turn your account on to start gathering UGC.

Tiktok
Locate the Tiktok section right below the Instagram section, and click on "Add Tiktok account".

This will prompt a modal that will allow you to scan a QR code directly from your phone to connect your TikTok account.
Please ensure you click "I agree with the TikAPI Terms of Service" before displaying the QR Code.

Similar to Instagram, make sure that your TikTok account is properly linked and enabled to start sending UGC to your "My UGC" section.
We will automatically detect all content, including stories posted by the accounts on your list. We synchronise the stories, ensuring you don't lose them even if they expire.

Remove Accounts
If you have connected an account that you would like to remove, head over to Settings > Integrations > Social media.
On there, you will find all the connected Instagram and TikTok accounts. Click on the "Disconnect" button next to the account name to disconnect it.

You'll be asked if you're sure you want to disconnect this account. Click on the red "Disconnect" button to continue.

If you delete an account, Videowise will stop scraping content from it. Any content that has already been scraped will remain in "My UGC".
Filter your UGC based on accounts that you want to track
To find your UGC solely through the added accounts, select "Search Criteria" β‘ Filter by Instagram and TikTok accounts, and your feed will display content exclusively from those accounts.

The posts accumulate throughout the month. If you exceed your plan limit, we provide 10 additional blurred posts before requiring an upgrade. The limit resets on the 1st of each month. The daily additions accumulate, so you can keep track and manage your mentions effectively.
How to mute profiles that you don't want to track
In this article, we'll show you how to mute the social profiles that youβre not interested in. By muting them, their content will no longer be displayed in the "My UGC" section. We will automatically exclude their feed posts, reels, and stories from your Inbox, even if they match your hashtag criteria.
Muted profiles
Click on Add account to start muting the profiles you don't want to follow.

On here, you can select either the Instagram or TikTok platforms and then simply enter the account name.

The account names must match exactly as they appear on Instagram/TikTok, without the need for the "@" symbol.
For the Instagram platform: Enter account name β‘ Click Add Account

For the TikTok platform: Enter account name β‘ Click Add Account

You're all set! Now, all posts from these muted profiles will be ignored and will not show up in your "My UGC" section.

Remove Muted Profiles
If you opt to eliminate a muted profile from your tracking list, just click on the "-" icon to "Remove" it.

You'll be asked to confirm if you want to unmute this account. Once ready, click on "Unmute account".

If you delete the account, Videowise will stop muting this profile.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track both Instagram and TikTok accounts at the same time?
Yes. Videowise lets you track accounts on both platforms simultaneously. You connect Instagram through the native integration toggle, and TikTok through the QR code scan flow. Once connected, both platforms are monitored independently and their content appears in your UGC feed.
How do I add a TikTok account to track?
To track a TikTok account, go to the account tracking section in UGC Detect and use the TikTok QR code scan method. Open TikTok on your phone, scan the QR code displayed in Videowise, and the account will be linked and start being tracked automatically.
Are Instagram Stories automatically saved when I track an account?
Yes. When you track an Instagram account, Stories posted by that account are automatically captured and saved in Videowise. This ensures you never miss short-lived content that would otherwise disappear after 24 hours.
How do I remove an account I no longer want to track?
You can remove a tracked account by going to Settings, then Integrations, and deleting the account from the list. Once removed, Videowise will stop scraping new content from that account, though any previously collected posts will remain in your library.
What does muting a profile do?
Muting a profile hides that creator's content from your UGC feed without fully removing them from tracking. This is useful when you want to temporarily suppress content from a specific account without losing the tracking history or having to re-add them later.
