You were probably scrolling through Tiktok, and you’ve just seen a video asking viewers to stitch or duet with a video of their own reacting or doing something crazy.

Then you realize that you don’t know how to view all of the duets in a video on Tiktok. You’ve only just seen duets on your For You Page.

You try browsing Tiktok, but it doesn’t have a direct button that shows you all the duets to that particular video which is why I’m here today to explain how to see all the duets to any video you want to see, and it is pretty straightforward.

To see all the duets to a video on Tiktok, you will have to go to the search bar and type in the @username of the person whose duets you want to see. Then, next to that, you type ‘Duets’ and click enter. For example, ‘Duets @username.’

There is another way to do this, but that is your best bet so far. Be prepared that Tiktok may not show you all the duets to that video for whatever reason, but we will have to wait and see in case that brings out a feature for this.

How to View Duets on TikTok

Expanding on my previous point, I’m going to give you a step-by-step on how to do this in case of yore just confused.

  1. Firstly opent the Tiktok app
  2. Click on the search icon along the bottom
  3. At the top, put ‘Duets @username.’
  4. Fill in the username part with their actual username
  5. Hit search

There you have it. Remember, just because you don’t see any videos doesn’t mean the method didn’t work. It could just be that no one has duetted that particular video which I expand on in my next point.

If the steps above don’t work, then you can also try ‘#duets @username.’ This also goes the same for stitches. It would be the same process, ‘stitch @username.’

Click on The Sound of The Video

Above I explain the longer but better way to see the duets in a video. However that method may be a bit tedious for you, and you may want a quicker way of doing it.

I found this way to be better in some cases as it gives you new duets you may not have seen before.

To see duets on Tiktok, you have to click on the sound of the video. You only want to see duets too. The sound button of the video is located on the bottom right of the video. It will be a spinning circling with text written next to it.

Once you have clicked this button, you should be presented with a list of other videos using this sound or a lot of duets, especially if the user has specially asked viewers to make duets on TikTok.

If you don’t see any duets in the sound section, then it is probably because the video isn’t popular enough or the sound is too popular. Videos with over 100k likes will usually have plenty of duets you can watch

Keep in mind that the video user must have made it their sound. If not, then they would have probably used a very popular sound on TikTok and has perhaps been used in hundreds of thousands of videos. In this case, viewing any duets to that video would be impossible

How To See Who Duetted Your Video?

If you just made a video and want to see the duets to it, let’s face it. It’s probably funny then I’m going to show you how.

Be aware that your video must be somewhat viral to see any duets. I’d say at least 10k plus view. Viewing your duets is an excellent way to see how your followers interact with your contact.

If duets to your video are very interactive, then I would say you have a strong following or an excellent video.

You are seeing duets can help you interact with your followers better and can result in a viral chain of videos that will benefit your account in terms of increasing followers.

To see more duets in your videos, you can create a challenge or ask people to react to your video. For example if you ask a question in your video you can tell people to answer it in your duet.

To see duets of your video on TikTok, you should go to your search bar and type in @ followed by your username.

This is similar to the step above, but it’s the only way that works, as TikTok hasn’t made this an easy thing to do. Here you will see all the popular duets in your video

How to Make a Duet For Your Video

You’ve just seen a video that you think you can make a duet to, so you want to proceed to make a duet.

Duets can grow your account, especially if the creator of the video you want to duet wants to create for your duet. This can grow your account and also create diverse content. To create a duet, you will have to

  1. Open the Tiktok app
  2. Find a video you want to duet
  3. Click the share button
  4. Click Duet Video
tiktok duet button

Now you can create your duet for this video. Sometimes when the creator wants you to create a duet, there will be a big button on the video itself, which isn’t hard for you to miss and allows you to click and duet.

Great, now you have created a duet. Other people will be able to see this by either clicking the sound or using the search method.

Things You Should Know About Duets and Stitches

You can not create a duet or stitch to every video you see on Tiktok. Tiktok has privacy restrictions that allow creators to turn off duets just before they publish a video.

You can also turn off duets after the video has been published. This can be very frustrating as it stops you from doing what you want with the video.

You can still create duets using third-party applications, but the quality once posted on Tiktok may not be great, so it is up to you whether or not you want to make that decision, whatever it takes to go viral.

Hopefully, you now know how to see all the duets to a specific video you are watching. This article should have answered any questions you were looking for, even how to make a duet yourself.

How Do You Know If Someone Duets You On TikTok?

The only way to know if someone duetted you on TikTok is by checking in your notifications section. Before, TikTok did not use to tell users whenever their video was duetted to.

Now you will be notified whenever someone creates a duet on your TikTok. If you don’t know where the notification section is, then it is on the right-hand side of the camera button along the bottom of your screen.

Look in the images above for reference. Remember that you will not be notified on every occasion when someone duets you. This is TikTok fault, and it is a glitch that has been affecting the app for some time.

The methods above do not also show you all the duets on your TikTok but also the popular ones. Another good way to see who duetted your TikTok is to ask the people who created one to stage you in it.

You can put this in the caption of your video or the comments to make sure that people can see it. This will increase your likelihood of seeing all of the duets on your TikTok.

Will Duets Get More Views?

In short, yes, duets will get you more views on your TikTok account. There are various reasons why this is, which I will be getting into more detail down below but mainly down to virality.

Duets are more likely to be interesting than just a normal TikTok. If you’re scrolling down your FYP, you’re likelier to stop and watch a duet than a regular TikTok.

The main reason a duet will get you more views is that it is more likely for you to get a response from the creator if they end up seeing the video being duetted.

If the creator is big enough, this will get you more views on your TikTok. These are some main reasons why duets are so crucial on the TikTok platform.

Duets are also easier to create than a normal video, so you are more likely to create duetted videos at scale as you do not have to be that creative when filming a duet.

Essentially you’re just reacting to the video you’re dueted. This stops you from wasting your time thinking of video ideas to create.

More Likely to Trend

When you create a duet, it is usually to a video that is already trending. This means that most people would have probably seen that video already, which means that they will be more inclined to react to that duet as they have already formed an opinion on the video you’re duetting.

For example, if you create a duet to a lipsyncing video, then this means you’re following a trend. Trends are more likely to go viral than a normal video, so it is in your best interest to follow a trend.

These videos are also more likely to end up in specific lists. For example, best lip-syncing videos or best duets on TikTok. When you make it on these types of videos on youtube, you will start to get more followers.

To increase the likely hood of this happening, note all the viral duets while you scroll down on your FYP. This way, you will better understand what is going viral.

You can also watch specific youtube videos and look at the sort of duets that go viral there. This will also increase the likely hood of your duets ending up on those sorts of videos.

Using Trending Tags

Once you can see who made a duet to your TikTok and all of the duets available for a certain TikTok, you can now know the hashtags that work well on these duets.

Hashtags are essential when it comes to who ends up watching your videos. When you first upload a TikTok video, TikTok will need to know the audience that video is intended for.

Hashtags allow the TikTok algorithm to know what your duet is about and which sort of people it should show it to.

If you are going to make a duet, I suggest you use the hashtag #duet on all of the duets you make.

Using this one hashtag will increase the likelihood of your duet being shown to other viewers who also enjoy watching duets and engaging with them.

Make sure to use at least three hashtags when you upload a duet, so TikTok has a better idea of what it is actually about. Please do not overdo it, though, as this has a negative impact.

Using The Original Video

Duets are all about bouncing off other videos. When you make a duet, you are essentially trying to mimic or form a reaction from the video you’re duetting.

This is why duets are so much easier to do, as you don’t need to be that creative. I have seen many TikTokkers gain a follower just by duetting a bunch of random videos.

Viewers are also able to relate much easier because they will probably have the same opinion as you see. They will comment as they will think you guys think similarly.

Mimicking the video can also get you a viral result if you are mimicking it funnily. however, this can also backfire on you as people might say that you are not being original.

Duets like this are also more likely to get shares and therefore more likely to go viral. So it is up to you whether or not you want to create duet-worthy content or just duets themselves.

Just make sure that you know how to see other duets before you start creating similar content as you will have a better idea of what works and what does not.

Challenges

Challenges are also similar to duets in some way. Their capacity of them to go viral is quite high so it is in your best interest to make videos trying to complete challenges.

The reason people enjoy changes so much is because they love seeing other people struggle. It gives them a rush especially if the challenge itself is quite hard.

The challenges themselves can just be dance challenges. For example, you may challenge someone to a dance battle using a duet so they are more likely to see it.

You can also challenge people to a singing battle using duets to see who can outsing one another. This creates friendly fire and will provide entertainment to viewers.

One of the best ways to grow on TikTok is to duet more popular content creators and create controversy. If your video ends up going viral this will also benefit them as it gives them a chance to reply.

Conclusion

Hopefully, you have learned a thing or two from reading this article. You should now know how to see duets on TikTok.

This is easily done by just typing in the @ of the person you’re looking for and then putting Duets beside it.

If you can’t find their duets for some reason then you can just ask your followers to tag you in whichever duets you create.

Duets are a good way to grow on TikTok especially if you are a smaller account. You will benefit a lot from creating these types of videos as you do not need to be that creative to make them and you can create them at scale.

There is no hard-fire way to see all of the duets created for your video. For some reason using the search bar isn’t enough for this.

You can also click on your sound to check if there are other videos made using your sound. If the sound is too popular then it will be impossible to find videos made to it unless you’re a massive creator.
