Shake your phone and your hand at the same time as if you were recording a normal video. Do it fast but not so exaggerated. Don't drop the phone!

Question

What do I do if the recording feature doesn't work?

Community Answer

Try relogging in, that usually does the trick. If that doesn't work, just use the countdown setting and it will run on its own.

Question

How do I edit a video?

Community Answer

Other than the options shown on the right hand side when you have finished your musical.ly, the app does not have any other editing options. However, if you download an editing app and share your Musical.ly creation to the app, you can edit it there. When it's finished, upload it to Musical.ly.

Question

What is the save private button for?

Community Answer

Some people wouldn't want to post the musical; they want to keep it private. Some use it to install songs, so they'd be able to make musicals when there is no internet connection. You can try that, it really helps when you're picking music from the music store.

Question

If I copy the link, where is it copied to?

Amy K. Jones

Community Answer

When you copy a link, it adds it to what is called "the clipboard." To use the link (or see it), just go to the search window, right-click, and select "Paste." This will transfer the copied link into your browser's search engine. Hit "Search" and you'll be taken to the location/site. If you want to save the link for future use, open a document, right-click, and select "Paste," then save your document. Or, you can just bookmark the page on your browser.
