How to change playlist in Tik Tok
If you want to change or edit your own sections, go to the settings section. For this:
- Go to the playlist and click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Select the Edit Playlist option to edit the section. You can also change it right there.
When you have entered the edit point, you can use the following functions:
- click on "Remove video" or "Add video" to add and remove one or more clips,
- tap on the three shelves on the right side of the video clip to place it somewhere else in the playlist - this way you can change the sequence of videos,
- when you change the section the way you want, click on the "Finish" button. After that, the changes will be saved.
- If you do not want to save from, click on "Cancel".
If you have not changed the sequence of clips, then the last added clips will be at the top. Therefore, your subscribers have previously watched the content from the end. You can now change the sequence so that the first entry is at the top, not the last.
How to watch someone else's playlist in Tik Tok
If you want to look at other people's sections with clips, use this method:
- While watching a clip, click on the "Playlist" button under the username.
- Select the video that you want to watch - for this you can scroll the section up and down.
Interaction with other people's videos from the section is the same as before - you can like, comment, rewind or download videos from Tik Tok. The only difference is that you can flip through the clips in a convenient order - they follow each other according to the plot or theme.
How to split videos by playlists in Tik Tok
If you haven't done a content plan or worked with video headings before, it can be difficult to sort your videos. Therefore, we recommend trying these options:
- For stories: If you like to tell subscriber stories from time to time in several parts, send them in one section. It is important to place so that the first part is at the top and the last at the bottom - this will make it easier to see.
- For expert videos: if you are sharing knowledge, for example, in psychology, programming, writing, combine the videos in one section. This will help subscribers find a video with an interesting topic to study.
- For advertising. If you do not hide in your videos that you are advertising a product, you can put this content in a separate section. Subscribers will see that this is an advertisement so they can decide whether they want to watch it or not.
- For fun. Here, collect the videos that you exhibited for the sake of humor.
- For the good. Here you can include clips with life hacks, useful observations, your own discoveries, which will make life easier for subscribers.
- For duets on Tik Tok, reactions or joint videos. Combine clips that you have filmed with someone indirectly or specifically into a playlist - not all users rate this content.
You can use these groups as a basis for your content. Better create custom playlists. To do this, differentiate the content on the page by topics and headings and combine videos that are similar to each other in some way.
Unfortunately, the playlists feature in TikTok was released only in some countries: in others it is still being tested. Therefore, the Tik Tok update will appear for many users only in the summer and autumn.
