Stitch

A stitch as in "stitch incoming" refers to a TikTok mechanic where the author first plays a different video in fullscreen before inserting theirs. The TikTok editing tool used is called 'Stitch' because it helps 'stitching' video's together. To avoid their audience from skipping the video because they do not recognize the authors post, the author puts the warning "stitch incoming" over the copied video.

Stitch

"Stitch incoming" on a video means that the creator is about to play a video where they've used the "TikTok stitch" feature. A stitch involves adding your own video content to the end of another video, usually for the purpose of commenting or reacting. According to Reddit and TikTok, a stitch allows you to take a short clip (up to 5 seconds) from someone else's video and add your own video as a follow-up.

stitch incoming

This comes from use of the ‘stitch’ feature on TikTok which allows users to respond to small sections of other videos by adding (stitching) their own video.

When you first see such content, the initial video may be triggering or seem to be contrary to what the creator usually posts. To warn viewers and stop them from clicking away, creators add the ‘stitch incoming’ caption to let viewers know to not exit the video too quickly, but, rather, to wait for the bit that follows (usually a rebuttal).
It is used as a video caption, not in a sentence.

The tik tok creator added the caption Stitch Incoming to let us know that her video critique would directly follow the original clip.
