Discover Music in TikTok
The way that TikTok offers up its music choices lets you browse the selection before you even create a video. What makes this cool is that you might discover a song or artist that you love. You can then save a song so that it’s at your fingertips and ready to use anytime. There are two ways to check out the music on TikTok: browsing the Sounds collection and watching a current video.
Browse Sounds
Watch a Video
Maybe you’re watching a video on TikTok and like the song that accompanies it. You can get details about the song, add it to your Favorites, or use it right away. While watching the video, tap the sound icon on the bottom right of the screen. This takes you to the detail page to listen to the full song (if applicable), see other videos using the tune, tap Add to Favorites, or Use this Sound.
Add Music to Your TikTok Video
You don’t have to look for music in TikTok before creating your video. You can access the same options as above immediately before or after capturing your video. Tap the plus sign to record your video as you normally would and do one of the following.
Add Sound Before Recording
You’ll then see the song title at the top of your video recording screen. You can then capture your video as you normally would, and the song will be included.
Add Sound After Recording
Edit Music in Your TikTok Video
After you pick a song to go with your video, you can make a couple of changes before posting. You can adjust the part of the song clip you want to use, and you can edit the volume for your video and the song. Select Sounds at the bottom of the editing screen. Tap the video clip icon in the Sounds bar and edit one or both of the following.
Clip: Drag the sound clip to the place you want to start for your video and tap the checkmark when you finish. Volume: Tap Volume and use the sliders for Original Sound (your video’s audio) and Added Sound (your added song) to adjust the volume for each. This lets you change the volume of each independently for the exact balance you want.
When you finish adjusting the music, continue to edit or share your video like normal.
Include Awesome Music in Your TikTok Video
