How Duets Work

  1. Tap “Duet” on another user’s video (if enabled)
  2. Record your video alongside theirs
  3. Both videos play at the same time in one post

When you post a Duet, the original creator is credited, and your version appears with theirs. It’s a powerful tool for engagement, creativity, and visibility, especially when joining viral conversations or boosting other creators.
