How to use TikTok’s green screen effects

The feature, which allows users to record themselves superimposed over an image of their choosing, is ripe for dance trends, citing sources, and even tricking parents.

That brings you to TikTok’s extensive recording and editing suite, where you can either record videos in-app or upload your own.

TikTok’s other green screen features follow the same basic steps: tap the icon you want, choose the image you’re using for a green screen, and then adjust your size and placement.

Making use of some green screen features requires a little more user input, like TikTok’s green screen eyes and mouth feature for instance.

TikTok will identify your eyes, nose, and mouth, which you can resize and place over the image as you want.

Like TikTok’s other duet and stitch functions, this allows creators to react to one another, add on to videos, and immerse themselves in TikTok trends.

To use this function, tap the arrow icon at the bottom left corner the screen on the video you want to duet.

When you first start the duet, it’ll default to the standard side-by-side duet function.

Resizing is especially helpful to avoid blocking the original video’s focus, like in this example of TikTok creator hannah.plants showing off her monstera’s roots.

When you’re done recording, tap the checkmark, which will bring you to TikTok’s editing suite.

Once you finish editing your video, tap “Next” in the lower right corner of your screen.
