Duet is an option on TikTok that allows you to record and post a video side-by-side with someone else’s video. You can easily make a Duet using the TikTok app for Android phones and tablets. In this article, we’ll talk you through the steps to record and post your Duet video on an Android device.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open the TikTok app on your Android device. If you don’t already have the TikTok app on your phone or tablet, download it from the Play Store and install it. Find the app icon on your home screen and tap it to launch TikTok.

    Select the Duet button. In the Share menu, look for the Duet button in the bottom row of icons. It looks like a circle with a pair of eyes overlapping a second circle. Tap this button to start creating your Duet video.[2]
    • Not all videos have Duet enabled. You won’t see this option if the original poster chose not to allow Duets.

  6. 6
    Tap the red button at the bottom of the screen to record. You’ll also see a list of options along the right side of the screen for adding filters and other effects to your video. When you’re done making your duet, tap the red button again to stop recording.[4]
    • As you record, you’ll see your video on the left side of the screen and the other person’s on the right.
  7. 7
    Touch the red check mark to verify that you’re done. After you stop recording, tap the red check mark to the right of the Record button. You’ll still get a chance to edit your video after you tap this button.[5]
  8. 8
    Edit your Duet. Use the buttons at the right and bottom of the screen to add text, stickers, or other effects to your video once you’re done recording.[6]
    • If you recorded a duet with sound, you can adjust the volume of the original and added sound with the volume controls. Tap the down-caret button at the bottom of the right-hand editing menu to find the Volume button.
    • If you want, you can also record a separate voiceover for your Duet, or select sounds from TikTok’s Sounds library. To browse the library, tap the Sounds button at the top of the screen.[7]
  9. 9
    Tap Next. When you have your Duet the way you like it, tap the Next button at the bottom of the screen.[8]
  10. 10
    Give your video a caption and adjust the settings. On the next screen, write a caption for your video and choose a cover.[9] In the menu underneath the caption field, you can adjust settings like:
    • Who can see your video
    • Whether to allow Duets
    • Whether to allow comments
  11. 11
    Tap Post. Once you’re satisfied with your caption and settings, tap the red Post button to post your Duet. If you’d rather save it for later, tap the Drafts button instead.[10]

    It could be that the videos you are selecting don't have Duet enabled. Some people choose not to allow Duets, or they only allow some people (such as people on their Friends list) to make Duets of their videos.
  • Question
    So, I was trying to make a singing video, with someone else. How do I make it so I can hear my voice in it as well?

    Before you record your video, scroll down in the effects buttons on the right side of the screen and make sure your mic is turned on. You can also adjust the volume of the added sound and the original sound using the same effects menu after you record your video.

    Yes, but only if the other person approved you to view their videos and has duets enabled in Privacy Settings.
