Tik Tok for PC

Tik Tok is a newcomer in the area of social networks, managing in a short period of time to attract over one billion downloads on mobile platforms. After such a tremendous rise in popularity, many users around the world expressed the wish to access this social network from their Windows desktop and laptop PCs in order to connect to their friends and see the new musical and video creations created by like-minded people. Now, you can do it.

The core functionality of the Tik Tok social network is based on creating and sharing user-made music videos and lip-sync videos that are limited to 3-15 seconds in length, and looping videos that are limited to a maximum of 60 seconds. To promote creativity and inventiveness, the TikTop application is choke-full of streamlined video editing tools that make the creation of fun material easy and fast. The app actually has direct access to a wide array of music songs, enabling users to easily create their lip-sync recreations and brand new short homemade music videos with ease.

Windows app is focused more on the discovery of new content and keeping in touch with friends than enabling PC users to create new fun videos using their webcams. The tools are actually all there, but the performance and usability of those tools are not great on a PC platform. Because of that, TikTok on PC can best be used as a home companion to the portable apps that you have on your smartphone.



Installation and Use

Tik Tok for Windows is not a native app that was built from the ground up to take advantage of all services, functionalities, and hardware capabilities that the modern PC platform provides. Instead, the TikTok for Desktop is, in fact, an emulated version of the Android app.

To install TikTok on Windows 10/11 (the only OS this app was tested for)  you will first have to install a Bluestack Android app emulator and then download the Android APK version of the application.  Then you need to load this APK into the Bluestack and fire up the application from there.

Bluestack is a competent emulator, enabling PC users to get access to the tablet-like UI of the Android app. All the functionalities and services of the app are present here, but sadly, in some cases, the lack of emulation performance can be felt. This is most obvious while browsing and loading brand new online data when the entire app can become sluggish and laggy. The actual viewing of videos runs very well, enabling you to keep in touch with new content that is released by your friends and people from all around the world.

You can even take advantage of the built-in mobile studio where you can record, edit and publish your own videos, although the emulation performance issues may cause you to perform these tasks on your mobile phone instead.
