Why might you Duet on TikTok?

A TikTok Duet is a way of interacting with other TikTok content that you find on the platform. A Duet allows you to share an existing TikTok from another user (or from yourself), with the addition of a split screen to add your own footage. TikTok Duets are commonly used to show a reaction to the original TikTok, to join in with a challenge, or to add commentary.
