How to Duet on TikTok?

Now that you know what a duet is on TikTok, it is time to know how to Duet on TikTok. So are you ready? If you are, there are a few things that you should know about the duet. The first thing is to allow others to duet with your video; you should have a public account. And another thing is you cannot duet with every video on TikTok because it depends upon the privacy setting of the other individual.

Only if the person has enabled a duet for the video you can create one. And even if the person has enabled duet on video if they have set their setting for “Who can Duet with your video?” on Friends only, non followers cannot duet with the video.

So these are certain things you should know before going for a duet on TikTok; now, let’s move to the first step of duet-making on TikTok.

Finding the Perfect Partner for Duet on TikTok

As you know, a duet is a split video that you create side by side using other creators’ videos on the platform, so finding the perfect partner for Duet on TikTok is your first step. And here is how to find the perfect partner for a duet:

1. Find a Creator Whose Content You Enjoy

If you are finding a partner to duet with, it is important to select a person whose content you really enjoy because only then can you create a duet that others will like. As duets are mostly reaction videos, it is really important you duet with someone video you really enjoy.

2. Look For Duet Requests
