TikTok Tutorial: Reply to Comments with Video

TikTok is a platform that encourages creative expression and provides users with the necessary tools to easily create fun and joyful content. This post is part of our TikTok Tutorial Series, where we highlight new and lesser-known features to educate users on how to utilize our creative suite and enhance their content creation.

The connection between creators and their fans is unparalleled. Often, this connection is formed through the comments section of videos, where viewers can share jokes, provide commentary, ask questions, and build a community with other users. What better way to respond to comments than with a video that offers more context, answers questions, and explains the details in a uniquely TikTok manner?

On TikTok, you can now reply to any comment on your videos with a video response. Since the introduction of this feature, comment culture on TikTok has flourished, with the hashtag #replytocomments garnering over 1.8 billion views. Video replies to comments have sparked new conversation topics, inspired creative content, and given rise to new subcultures.

Here's how the feature works:

Tap on the comment you want to reply to with a video.
Press the camera icon to the left of the comment field to start recording your response.
Once recorded, you can attach the comment to your video as a sticker, ensuring that viewers see the comment you're referring to.
Once posted, the video appears in the comments section and as a new video on your page.

When a creator is known for their content, such as dipping ice cream cones into delicious toppings, they're bound to receive requests for custom combinations. In one instance, a TikTok user responded to a commenter's request for sprinkles and chocolate dip with an appetizing video reply. @softeeca Reply to @jenwahba11 hope you enjoy this! comment more requests guys!!! ##fyp ##foryou ##mistersoftee ##inyourface ♬ cArTi I wAnNa Go To PluTo - probsurdad
Sometimes, users receive numerous comments asking the same question about a video. In this video, commenters were excited to learn more about a user's peaceful hammock above the sea. @laxtoluxury I can't believe I happened to have a random video that perfectly explains this, but here you go!
