I just tried a TikTok link and the bot responded with

Download failed!❌
[TikTok] 7414439153384820001: TikTok is requiring login for access to this content. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the > authentication. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-yt-dlp for how to manually pass cookies

How can I pass the cookie to the bot? Is there already a configuration or is this a new feature?
I read in others issues that for Instagram it could lead to ban, It's the same for TikTok?

Currently bot doesn't have a specific way to pass a cookie for TikTok.

Yes, it's possible. Passing your TikTok account cookie to download content can lead to your account being banned. Downloading content like this is considered a violation of their ToS, so using your cookie can result in a temporary or permanent ban on your account.
