What Is Stitch on TikTok?#

Before discovering how to stitch on TikTok, it's essential to understand what this is. If you watch videos on this platform frequently, you have probably already seen the format where there are images from different videos on the same TikTok. For example, someone is commenting on a video, then they show parts of it.

It's commonly used when people record reaction videos to show how they feel when seeing something that is unexpected or very funny. You also can enjoy this feature to show a video and comment about it, so the viewer can see what you are talking about and understand your ideas better. 

For example, if you have a profile on TikTok that's focused on fashion. You can stitch a fashion show video and show yourself commenting on each look as it appears on the runway. This feature is also commonly used to stitch music videos, where the person will sing the same song.

For a company, a possibility is to invite customers to record videos telling what they like about your product and stitch with their videos showing your reaction to their comments. It's an alternative to promote engagement and make customers feel seen by a brand.

2 - Click on the share icon;

3 - Click on "Stitch";

4 - Select the part of the video you want to stitch, then click "Next";

5 - The camera of your smartphone will turn on so you can record your part;

It's important to notice that not every video has the stitch feature enabled because the creator has the choice to enable it or not. If you choose a video and don't see the option to click on the "stitch" button it's because you can't use it. 

How to Allow People to Stitch Your Videos On TikTok#

Enabling TikTok users to stitch the videos that you publish is an opportunity to conquer more visibility as you will be seen by their audience as well. It just takes a few steps to do that, but your TikTok account needs to be public, which means your content can't be restricted only to your followers.

1 - Open your TikTok;

2 - Upload or record the video you will publish on the platform;

3 - Click "Next";

4 - In the video settings go to "Allow Stitch" and swipe left to enable it. 

What Is the Difference Between Stitch and Duet?#

Another very popular feature on TikTok is the "Duet", which is commonly confused with "Stitch". In both video formats, the creator uses a video from another person to display on their own. 

But, the main difference is that in the duet both videos appear at the same time on the screen, side by side. The original one is placed on the right and the video you record appears on the left.
