Question

I'm using Tik Tok on my RCA tablet, and the camera is really bad quality. What do I do?

Community Answer

Assuming you can't get a new tablet, make sure you're in good light. Make sure you're filming during golden hour (usually between the hours of 6 to 8 in the evening). If inside, film near a window.

Question

What if my laptop has bad camera quality?

Community Answer

Your videos will not be that clear. Consider getting a decent external USB camera to use instead.

Question

Can I use Tik Tok on Nox?

Community Answer

Barely. The camera won't work, and you can't import videos. If you want to just browse the memes or regular Tik Toks, then yes, it will work.

Question

How do I make a video on a laptop?

Community Answer

Open your laptop's camera app, change the mode to video, and then click the record button. If you do not have a webcam or a screen recording software then unfortunately you are out of luck. You can still upload videos already on your PC to TikTok.

Question

Is Bluestacks free or do I have to pay for it?

Community Answer

It's free. You can just download it, and it works. You can buy other emulators, and sometimes their quality is higher, but Bluestacks is the best free one.

Question

Is there a way to use TikTok without having to download it?

Community Answer

No, you need to download the bluestacks app to use TikTok without downloading it. There isn't a way to use it without it. Just download bluestacks and then TikTok itself will show up.
