What is Duet on TikTok?


Duet allows you to post your video side-by-side with a video from another creator on TikTok. A Duet contains two videos in a split screen that play at the same time. Keep in mind, you must have a public account to allow others to Duet with your videos.

You can choose who can Duet with your videos in your settings:
In your account privacy settings, you can choose who can Duet with your videos:
•  Everyone: If you choose this permission and you have Duet turned on, then anyone can Duet with your videos.
•  Followers that you follow back: If you choose this permission and you have Duet turned on, then only people you follow and who follow you back can Duet with your videos.
•  Only me: If you choose this permission, then others can't Duet with your videos.

You can turn off Duet on all your existing videos at one time in your privacy settings. This means you don't need to go to each of your videos individually to turn off Duet.

You can turn Duet on or off for each of your videos:
You can turn Duet on or off before you post a video, or for an existing video.
•  If you turn Duet on: The group you selected in the Duet setting for all your videos can Duet with this video. For example, if you choose to allow only Followers that you follow back to Duet with all your videos, then if you turn on Duet for a single video, only your Followers that you follow back can Duet with this video.
•  If you turn Duet off: Others can't Duet with your video.

Things to know when you allow someone else to Duet with your video:
•  That person's privacy settings will determine who can watch, comment on, download, or interact with the Duet.
•  The Duet will only appear on the profile of the person who recorded the Duet. Your original video will only appear on your profile page. 
•  If you allow others to Duet with your video but then change your settings to limit who can use your video or you delete your video, any existing Duets that have already been made will remain on TikTok. If you have any questions or concerns, you can report the videoYou can also choose to delete Duet videos associated with your video.
