You may have wanted to join in on the fun of a viral TikTok video where you want to show off your skills or reactions to another creator’s content, and you may have been wondering how to get it done. Well, you can do that with the Duet feature on TikTok without facing any issues.
Duet on TikTok is a feature that lets you post your video side-by-side with another video on TikTok. It’s a great way to interact with other users, participate in trends and challenges, or express your creativity and personality.
I will show you how to combine two TikTok videos in simple steps in this guide. All you need is a TikTok account, a device with a camera, and some creativity.
Step 1: Find a Video to Duet With
The first step is to find a video you want to duet with on TikTok. There are several ways to do this with ease:
- You can use the search function to look for videos by keywords, hashtags, or usernames. For example, if you want to duet with a video about cooking, you can type in #cooking or @cookingwithbing in the search bar and see what comes up.
- You can browse the For You or Discover pages to see what’s trending or popular on TikTok. You might find videos that catch your eye or inspire you to duet with them.
- You can also use the Duet option on the share menu of any video you like or want to duet with. Just tap on the share icon (an arrow pointing to the right) and select the Duet option from the menu. This will take you directly to the recording screen.
You can duet with any video you find interesting, funny, or challenging. However, make sure that the video allows duets, as some users may turn off this option for their videos. You can check this by tapping where you see the three dots icon on the bottom right corner of the video and looking for the Duet option. If it’s greyed out, the video does not allow duets.
Also, choose a video that matches your style, tone, and purpose. For example, if you want to duet with a dance video, you should be able to dance well or have some fun with it. If you want to duet with a comedy video, you should be able to add some humor or sarcasm to it. If you want to duet with an educational video, you should be able to provide proper or relevant information or feedback.
Step 2: Record Your Duet Video
The second step is to record your duet video on TikTok. Once you find a video to duet with, tap on the place where you see the share icon and select the Duet option from the menu. The video in its original form will be displayed on the right side of the screen, while your camera will be on the left side. You can use the layout button on the side toolbar to change how the videos are oriented. You can choose from four options: left-right, top-bottom, split, or react.
You can use all the typical recording tools on TikTok, such as effects, filters, stickers, timers, speed, and sounds. You can switch between the front and back cameras using the flip button. Tap on where you see the red record button to start recording your duet video. The original video will start playing, and your camera will record alongside it. It is possible to halt and restart the recording as frequently as desired.
After watching the video, advance to the editing screen by tapping the red checkmark. Here, you can trim, crop, adjust, or add more effects to your duet video. In addition to your video, it is also possible to incorporate a caption, hashtags, or tags.
Step 3: Edit and Post Your Duet Video
The third and final step is to edit and post your duet video on TikTok. Within the confines of the editing screen, you can incorporate text, stickers, and any other effects you want to enhance your duet video. You can also trim, cut, or adjust the volume of your video. For example, you can add funny captions or emojis to your video, mute the original sound, and add your voiceover or music.
Tap on the Next button when you are done editing your video. You can add a caption on the posting screen and choose your sharing options. You can also tag the original creator of the video or use relevant hashtags to increase your visibility and engagement. For example, you can order the user who made the video you dueted with, or you can use hashtags like #duet, #fyp, #tiktok, or any other related ones.
TikTok will automatically include the #duet hashtag and a link to the original video in your caption. You can edit or delete this if you want. For example, you can add your comment or opinion about the video you dueted with or remove the link if you don’t want to direct your viewers to the original video.
Tap the Post button when everything is ready. Your duet video will be uploaded to your profile and the original video’s comment section. You can also share your duet video on other platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp.
Conclusion
And that’s how you duet two TikTok videos together with ease as you can see from the steps. It’s a fun and easy way to interact with other TikTok users and show off your creativity and personality.
You can collaborate with other users, join in on trends and challenges, or showcase your talent and personality. So go ahead and duet with your favorite videos and see what happens.
