I. What is TikTok short video? What is the difference between it and TikTok?

Tiktok is a short video sharing APP launched by Toutiao in September 2016. It focuses on creating and sharing short music videos for young people using artificial intelligence technology. Users can choose songs, shoot videos, and create their own works.

TikTok , is the international version of Douyin short video, both of which are the same in function and operation, but the data is not interoperable depending on the country version released.

Both are mobile software, which can only be used on the mobile phone, but for users who need a large screen, how to solve the need to watch Douyin/TikTok videos through the PC? Let’s continue reading.

II. How to watch Douyin/TikTok short videos on PC?

Due to the nature of Tiktok’s short video format, it can only be accessed and shared through smartphones, as there is no PC version available. This limits the viewing experience as larger screens provide better picture quality and visual impact. If you want to watch Douyin/TikTok videos on a PC, there is a way to do so through multi-screen viewing.

You can download and use Douyin on your mobile phone from major app stores, but you’ll need to use an emulator on your PC. Recommended emulators include BlueStacks, RemixOSPlayer, and iPadian. Once you download and install the emulator, you can find and install TikTok (Douyin) and log in to your account to use it.

Kind tips: No matter which emulator you choose to use, there are a few things to keep in mind.

· Be sure to log in as an administrator when installing the emulator.

· In the use of the emulator, the PC computer must be in a smooth network environment to ensure the normal use of the software and programs.

· The driver (Windows) or system version (Mac) on the PC side should be updated to the latest in time for better compatibility with the emulator.

In addition, if you want to record a video and save it locally for repeated viewing while using the Douyin/TikTok software on the PC, and then edit it later, it is recommended that you use a professional video editing software—— Renee Video Editor Pro .
