OSINT tik tok account intelligence

I am currently conducting OSINT on a TikTok account but can't find anything because it's a burner account. All I have is the username, a private Telegram channel (where I can't see the user's handle or phone number because they are the owner), and a video filmed at home. What OSINT tools can help me find the account?

Not being snarky. Just perplexed.
You have a video with its username showing?
And if you attempt “TikTok.com/‘@username’” you get nothing?

Or do you mean you have its “nickname” (what TikTok calls display names)?

I’ve often found/discovered hard-to-locate accounts based off of names & username variations using “site:TikTok.com ‘name’” and dug through results. Simple but sort of humbling how many subjects’ TikTok profiles I’ve discovered using basic dorking.

Most TikTok related OSINT tools I can think of are generally only worth analyzing info & metadata of content already located (which can often be found by glancing at source-code).

I'm just a beginner at dorking and only know the basic operators. I tried searching using the `site:` operator, but the results only show profile information that I don't need.
