POV is one of those trends that shows no signs of slowing on TikTok.
What’s more, it is a trend that has one common feature uniting all video content – yet it can be adapted and adjusted to suit any and all scenarios. Which goes some way to explaining why it is so popular and commonly used.
POV stands for ‘Point of View’.
On TikTok, it is often used as a comedy crutch, or a way of adding context to a video or piece of footage which packs a punch from a very specific perspective. In short, adding POV to the front of your caption lets followers know exactly which perspective you want them to view the content from, so that they understand the context and meaning completely.
Examples of POV in Action
So, how can you use POV on TikTok? Here are some examples…
- POV: The first day of summer
- POV: When you post a video and wait for it to go viral
A good POV post will add a caption which is incredibly relatable or that will capture attention, combined with a video that has gone viral.
NOTE: You will often see the same visual content or video clip over and over again, with different takes on the POV caption. For example, you might see the same quote from popular TV show ‘Friends’ trending, but each user or creator has added their own POV reference to add new context and a new meaning to the video.
POV is a great content trend to use when you’re not sure what to post but want to jump onto a popular trend or simply post something funny and engaging. We hope this helps to inspire you!
