Speed up While Recording

1Tap + at the bottom of TikTok. It's centered at the bottom of the screen. This opens your camera screen.
-
2Tap Speed. This is the second icon down from the top of your screen on the right side. It looks like a speedometer.

3Choose 2x or 3x. The three-times speed means that your video playback is three times faster, so not every frame will be shown to accommodate that speed.

- To have your video play at normal speed, select 1x.
-
4Record your video. Once you have the desired speed set, you can then record your video.
