QuestionI'm using Tik Tok on my RCA tablet, and the camera is really bad quality. What do I do?
Community AnswerAssuming 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. -
QuestionWhat if my laptop has bad camera quality?
Community AnswerYour videos will not be that clear. Consider getting a decent external USB camera to use instead. -
QuestionCan I use Tik Tok on Nox?Community AnswerBarely. 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.
