How to Duet on TikTok | One feature you must know on TikTok

TikTok has been by far the fastest-growing social networking app of the globe. The users are crazy over creating a 15-second video under any subject. Since its launch, the duet on TikTok has been the most viral feature of the app.

So, what exactly is a TikTok duet?

This amazing feature enables you to record alongside another video of yours or someone else’s simultaneously. The best thing about this feature is that you can even duet with a celebrity, influencer, or any other Tk Tok user. However, the other person must enable this feature on their app for you to use their videos for the duet. This could be a comedy, a song, an act, or a different perspective of the same scenario and so many other things. With the increasing popularity of duets, many companies are using this platform in promoting their products, aiming to reach a larger target audience.

Additional Feature Layouts

In September 2020, TikTok introduced three additional layouts for the duet feature. The main purpose was to encourage interaction and engagement within the user community. The only layout available for users was the left and right layout, where you place your video beside the original video. In the latest update, users now have 4 options on the TikTok duet altogether.

• React Layout – Provide users with a live streamer style and picture-in-picture display to react to an original video.
• Top and bottom Layout – Enable users to put over the user-made video above the original clip and share entertaining reactions on the original video's bottom part.
• Three-screen Layout – Users now can add more than two users to get involved in a single video. Currently the most popular layout on TikTok where users create chains on reactions on a single clip.
