Duets are a kind of content-creator collaboration on TikTok where you can post your video side-by-side with another video. Perhaps you want to play guitar to compliment someone else’s singing or test out the validity of a supposed lifehack. Duets begin as two videos on a split-screen that play simultaneously but can quickly cascade into a series of split screens the more people duet with the same video. Here’s how to duet on TikTok.

FAQs
Can someone see if you duet their TikTok?
Others will not receive a notification when you duet with their video. However, they can see the video if you make it public.
Why are my TikTok duets delayed?
The most common reason for a delay in your duet is the audio being out of sync. Try to re-record the duet to resolve the issue.
Can you duet on TikTok with a saved video?
Unfortunately, you cannot use a pre-recorded video to duet with another user. You can only duet with saved videos if the creator allows the option.
