How to Turn on Picture in Picture on TikTok
Are you looking to enhance your TikTok videos with picture-in-picture (PiP) functionality? This feature allows you to overlay a smaller video or image over the main video, creating a unique and engaging visual effect. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to turn on picture-in-picture on TikTok for both iOS and Android devices.
Step 1: Update Your TikTok App
Before you can use the picture-in-picture feature, ensure that your TikTok app is up-to-date. Go to the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android) and check for any available updates. Once updated, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Open TikTok and Go to Your Profile
Launch the TikTok app and navigate to your profile page. This is where you’ll start creating your picture-in-picture video.
Step 3: Tap the Plus Icon to Create a New Video
On your profile page, tap the plus icon to create a new video. This will open the camera interface where you can record or select a video.
Step 4: Record or Select a Video
Choose whether you want to record a new video or select an existing one from your gallery. For the best results, use a video that has a clear and stable background, as this will make it easier to overlay the second video or image.
Step 5: Tap the Effects Icon
After recording or selecting a video, tap the effects icon (the three horizontal lines) at the bottom of the screen. This will open the effects menu.
Step 6: Scroll Down and Tap the ‘More Effects’ Option
In the effects menu, scroll down and tap the ‘More Effects’ option. This will open a new menu with various additional effects and features.
Step 7: Tap the ‘Picture in Picture’ Effect
In the ‘More Effects’ menu, you’ll find the ‘Picture in Picture’ effect. Tap it to activate the feature.
Step 8: Choose a Video or Image to Overlay
Once the ‘Picture in Picture’ effect is activated, you’ll be prompted to choose a video or image to overlay. You can select an existing video from your gallery or record a new one directly within the app.
Step 9: Adjust the Position and Size of the Overlay
After selecting a video or image, you can adjust its position and size within the main video using your fingers. Drag the overlay to the desired location and pinch or stretch it to change its size.
Step 10: Record or Save Your Video
With the overlay in place, you can now record your video or save it as is. If you’re satisfied with the result, tap the record button to capture the final video. Otherwise, you can save the video without recording.
Conclusion
Now that you know how to turn on picture-in-picture on TikTok, you can start creating unique and engaging videos that stand out from the crowd. Experiment with different videos and images to see which combinations work best for your content. Happy filming!
