Step 2: Familiarise yourself with TikTok’s features
Take some time to familiarise yourself with the app’s features before creating your first TikTok video. Spend some time scrolling through the ‘For You’ page to see the different types of videos that are popular on the platform. You can also check out the ‘Discover’ tab to explore different categories and hashtags.

To record your video, tap on the plus sign at the bottom of the screen, then choose the ‘Record’ button. You can record up to 60 seconds of footage, but most TikTok videos are between 15 and 30 seconds long.
Step 4: Add effects, filters, and music to your video
TikTok has a range of effects, filters, and music options that you can use to enhance your video. To add effects or filters, simply tap on the relevant icons on the bottom left of the recording screen. To add music, tap on the “Sounds” button at the bottom of the screen and browse through the different music options available on the app.
Step 5: Edit and share your video
Once you have recorded your video and added effects or music, it’s time to edit and share it. You can trim your video, adjust the speed, or add text overlays by tapping on the relevant icons on the right side of the recording screen. Once you’re happy with your video, tap on the ‘Next’ button to share it on your TikTok profile and/or other social media platforms.
