Among the many options that make up the social network, we can find the “Duos”, increasingly popular, and that allow us to “respond” to certain videos that have been published, placing our reaction next to it by dividing the screen in the middle.
Surely you know what we are talking about because unless you live under a rock, you have already seen a lot of videos of this type on , especially by users who sing along with their favorite artist or friends, as well as by people who dance.
In case of being a brand, you must do duets, because they enhance your content and that of the user, you get greater reach and with your audience, you can go viral, as well as vary your content to focus more on your niche.
Step by step to do Duos on TikTok
The process is very easy, but we recommend that you practice a few times and familiarize yourself with the options until you get the hang of it, so that the result is perfect.
The first step is to find a video that you like and that you want to use for the duet. Click on the icon “share” located on the right side of the screen, is represented by an arrow pointing to the right. This will open a menu at the bottom with two rows of icons. Locate and click on “Duo”. In case the option does not appear, it means that the creator of the content does not allow their video to be used to make a duet, so you should find another one.
By clicking on the option, a split screen will open with the original video and audio on the right side and your recording will be located on the left side.
Being here you can use the settings presented on the right and bottom of the screen to: use the front or rear camera, the recording speed, apply filters, apply beauty, you can even change the design to play with the position of the original video and your reaction.
When you want to start recording, Press on the red button in the central part. In case you need it, you can press the button to stop the recording and press again to resume it. Logically, the duet will last the same time as the original video.
When you have finished recording you go to a new editing screen, where you have more options such as visual effects, stickers, transitions, texts, filters, labels, etc. One of the latest editing options is voice over, with which you can put sounds or voices on top of all the content, adding more creativity to the duet. Completely finished editing, press “Following”.
The last step is to add text to the video description, #hashtags, tag friends and set privacy. You can choose to have everyone see the video, only your friends, or only you to see it.
In addition, you can turn comments on or off and allow or not allow other people to use your content to make new duets, reactions or save it on their mobile. Likewise, you can choose if you want to share it also in , either .
Now the only thing left to do is hit “Publish” for the duo to be uploaded to your TikTok feed.
How to activate the Duet function in your TikTok videos
The first thing you should know is that you can turn the Duet feature on or off before or after posting a video.
To enable the Duet feature on an unpublished video, simply enable it in the post settings menu, the same one where you write your text. If, on the other hand, you have published a video and once published you want to activate the duet function, you only have to go to the video’s privacy settings (within the three points of the menu on the left) and activate the duets option.
You should keep in mind that if you activate the Duet function, any user will be able to create a Duet with this video. For example, if you choose to allow creating a Duet with all your videos only for your Friendsso if you turn on the Duet feature for a single video, only your Friends they will be able to create a Duet with that video.
Who can make a Duet with your videos
By default, other TikTok users will not be able to Duet with your videos. Therefore, you will have to be the one to authorize whether or not others on TikTok can use your posts for their own Duets. There are several levels:
- Just me: In this case, you limit the function to be able to Duet only with yourself.
- Friends: Basically, for TikTok, a friend is a user that you follow and they follow you.
- All: Any TikTok user can use the posts you’ve authorized to Duet. Users you’ve blocked won’t be able to do this, if you were wondering.
In the case of being a minor, the truth is that the condition of doing duets with your clips changes a lot. These are the conditions established by the platform:
- For users from 13 to 15 years old:
- No one will be able to Duet your clips and this setting cannot be changed.
- You can make a Duet with other people’s videos.
- Users from 16 to 17 years old:
- It’s set up to do duets with Friends.
