How to Duet on TikTok

Once you find a video you want to duet with, follow these steps:

1. On the right side of your screen, tap the arrow button at the bottom.
2. Select the “Duet” option, which will appear under the social media icons you can share the video to.
3. Tap and hold the big red button at the bottom of your screen to start recording your video, which will appear on the left side of the screen.
4. Once you’re done, you can customize the video however you want by tapping the options to your right or at the bottom of the screen.
5. Tap the red checkmark at the bottom right corner of the screen.
6. You’ll get the chance to view the duet before uploading. If there’s something you need to edit, tap the “<” icon to go back.
7. Once finished and happy with the duet, tap “Next.”
8. Tap “Post.”

If you don’t see the option to duet with others, it’s because they have that option turned off. In the account privacy settings, TikTok users can choose if they want anybody to be able to duet with them, or if only their friends can. Users can also turn off duets for individual videos if they want, so check someone’s profile to see if they have other videos you can use for duets.

How to Add Sound to a TikTok Duet

The above steps work if you only want to make a duet without sound. The original video’s sound will play over your duet, so if you want to add sound, follow these steps:

1. Select the TikTok video you want to duet with.
2. Tap the arrow on the right side of your screen.
3. Select “Duet.”
4. To turn on your sound, tap the “Mic” button on the right side of your screen.
5. Tap and hold the big red button on the bottom of your screen to start recording your video with audio.
6. Tap the red checkmark at the bottom right corner of the screen.
7. If you want to adjust the volume of your video or the original video, tap the “Volume” option on the right side of your screen.
8. You’ll get the chance to view the duet before uploading. If there’s something you need to edit, tap the “<” icon at the top left side of the screen to go back.
9. Tap “Next.”
10. Tap “Post.”

How to Add Voiceovers to a TikTok Duet

If you want to add sound to the duet without having to record yourself talking on video, you can add your video and record the voiceover separately. Here’s how to do it:

1. Select the TikTok video you want to duet with.
2. Tap the arrow on the right side of your screen.
3. Select “Duet.”
4. Tap and hold the big red button on the bottom of your screen to start recording your video. It will appear on the left side of your screen when you’re done.
5. Tap the red checkmark at the bottom right corner of the screen.
6. Select “Volume” at the right side of your screen.
7. Slide “Added Sound” and “Original Sound” to zero to mute both sound.
8. Tap “Done.”
9. Tap “Voice” at the right side of your screen.
10. Tap or long-press the record button at the bottom of your screen.
11. Tap “Done” after recording.
12. Tap “Next.”
13. Tap “Post.”

How to Duet with Your Own Video

To make a duet with your own video, follow the same steps for creating duets that you see above. You can find your own videos on your profile if you tap the “Profile” button on the bottom right corner of the screen. Once you open the video you want to duet with, you’ll find the usual buttons and features to create the duet.

How to See Duet History

Unfortunately, you cannot see all the duets people have done with one video. The only way to see it is if you happen to come across any duets on your page.

Conclusion

TikTok duets are one of the coolest features on the platform, allowing users to add content to other videos in different ways. Whether the user has an iPhone or Android, creating a duet is incredibly simple and can be completed in less than 5 minutes.
