When making a video on TikTok, you have access to a variety of tools to make it your own. Adding text, stickers, filters, captions, andmore can help you personalize your TikTok video.
Voiceovers can also be a great way to help enhance and narrate your TikTok: a fun self-explanatory tool that allows you to add audio over (or replace the audio) of the original video.
You can use a voiceover to explain what's happening (which can be helpful if, for example, you're posting a cooking video) or to add a joke to a video clip.
Here's what you need to know.
Where do I find the voiceover tool?
The voiceover tool can be found on the video editing screen when you're creating a TikTok.
Specifically, it's the Microphone Icon on the right side of the screen, underneath tools like Text, Stickers, and Effects.
To find it, you'll need to tap the down arrow under Privacy settings and scroll down. It's the second to last option, underneath Voice effects.
