What are duets on TikTok?

Duets on TikTok are a popular feature where you can create a split-screen video alongside an existing one. You’ll see the original video on one side, and your new content on the other. Whether you’re reacting to a funny clip, sharing your thoughts on a trending topic, or adding your unique spin to a video, duets are a fun way to interact and create with your TikTok community.

They’re especially useful for brands looking to engage with user-generated content or respond to customer videos in real time. For example, Slø Jeans used a duet to address a customer’s concern about sizing, then highlighted their upcoming product launch—talk about turning a potential problem into a marketing opportunity!
