Tik Tok&nbsp;duets allow you to record a video that can be played simultaneously alongside the video of another user. The result is something that looks like a split-screen video with both screens showing different performers but with the same audio clip.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to actively collaborate with somebody to duet with them, you simply need to select a suitable video. This means you can duet with any Tik Tok&nbsp;video, although there are some exceptions depending on the settings each Tik Tok user has applied. Without further ado then, let\u2019s have a look at how to duet on the Tik Tok&nbsp;app.<\/p>\n<h2>How to duet on Tik Tok<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1 Download Tik Tok<\/h3>\n<p>Before you do anything on Tik Tok, you\u2019re going to have to download it to your Apple iPhone or Google Android device.

You can do this by simply scrolling through your feed when you open the app or hitting the&nbsp;<strong>Discover&nbsp;<\/strong>button and selecting a&nbsp;<strong>Topic&nbsp;<\/strong>to search through, or searching for videos directly using the&nbsp;<strong>Search bar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-149133 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/How_to_duet_on_Tik_Tok_Discover_button_jtn8um.jpg\" alt=\"Tik Tok's Discover button\" width=\"350\" height=\"89\"><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3 Hit the Share button and select the duet option<\/h3>\n<p>When you click the&nbsp;<strong>Share<\/strong>&nbsp;button on any video that is available for duets, you\u2019ll see the&nbsp;<strong>duets&nbsp;<\/strong>option. By tapping this option you\u2019ll get the chance to start recording your part of the duet. The video you\u2019re duetting with will then play alongside your recording so you can try to keep up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-149136 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/How_to_duet_on_Tik_Tok_Share_menu_g7uj5o.jpg\" alt=\"Tik Tok Share menu\" width=\"350\" height=\"240\"><\/p>\n<h3>Step 4 Add Special Effects<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019re done recording your part in the duet you can add filters, stickers, time effects and other effects to the duet video. To do this click the&nbsp;<strong>Special Effects&nbsp;<\/strong>button. You\u2019ll also be able to add a cover for the duet video too. Click&nbsp;<strong>Next&nbsp;<\/strong>and then once you\u2019re done and you\u2019ve added a suitable description, hit&nbsp;<strong>Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5>Exceptions \u2013 How to control who can duet with you on Tik Tok<\/h5>\n<p>As we mentioned before, not all videos on Tik Tok are available for duets. Videos published to private accounts aren\u2019t available for duets and normal users can also limit who can duet with their videos. If you want to limit who can duet with your videos, got to your&nbsp;<strong>Tik Tok account settings<\/strong>, then hit&nbsp;<strong>Privacy and Settings<\/strong>, and look for the&nbsp;<strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>&nbsp;option. Look for the&nbsp;<strong>Who can Duet with Me&nbsp;<\/strong>option and click it. Here you can limit your duets to&nbsp;<strong>Everyone<\/strong>, just your&nbsp;<strong>Friends<\/strong>, or turn them&nbsp;<strong>Off<\/strong>&nbsp;altogether.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-149139 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/How_to_duet_on_Tik_Tok_Classic_Tik_Tok_duet_t4mtvn.jpg\" alt=\"Tik Tok Duet\" width=\"582\" height=\"515\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tik Tok Duets all you need to know and some great examples to help you plan your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9073,"featured_media":149138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":1},"categories":[2441],"tags":[2336],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-149125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to","tag-app-subdomain-redirectiontik-tok"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9073"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149125"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149125\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":325399,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149125\/revisions\/325399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149125"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=149125"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=149125"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=149125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
