The app comes with a wide range of effects, allowing users to create funny, original, and good-quality videos. Douyin is known in the international scene as

TikTok

. However, despite being presented as the same product, they are not actually the same, as

there are some intricacies with this Chinese version

.

Create, edit, and share

Douyin and TikTok

share the same creators

and even

the same features

. Like TikTok, users of Douyin can

create 15-second videos

, add TikTok effects to them, and

share them publicly

. The app has a

wide selection of effects

, such as stickers, frames, slow motion, and other filters. You can even

apply music or change your appearance

, making it

popular for lip-syncing major hits or creating dance hits

.

Douyin’s

built-in editing tools

let you create videos even if you don’t have prior

video editing

knowledge. On top of that, videos created can be shared on

social media

, such as

Weibo

,

WeChat

, and

QQ

. It

also uses hashtags to create engagement on topics

. Additionally, it has a

live stream

feature. It also has a

live Q&A

and a built-in store where you can buy things.

Douyin, however, is a separate entity.

You can’t find the app on app stores outside of China

. Moreover, both provide different content. For instance, when you use Douyin to search for a popular TikTok user, you will only find an unverified account with some similar videos. Additionally, the app is heavy and can cause lag on slower devices, while its editing tools are only for

basic editing

and not professional.

A worthy alternative

Overall, Douyin can work as a

nice alternative

to popular

video-sharing

apps of today. The app provides

simple ways

to showcase users' creative talents in a short period. Plus, with added features such as live streaming and live Q&A, it can also be used as an effective marketing tool. It runs well if you’re in China, but if you’re not, you’re better off using TikTok.
