Key elements get hidden behind TikTok UI buttons. Text becomes unreadable. Faces get cut off. CTAs get obscured. Always respect safe zones to maximise content quality.

Yes, add 50-100px margins on all sides for safety. This prevents accidental cropping and ensures content looks clean. Use design tools to visualize margins.
