TikTok is combining two of its most popular features: Duets and green screen. The result is a new feature called green screen duet. Confused? No worries - here is everything you need to know about the feature, including how exactly to green screen duet on TikTok.

What is a green screen duet?

With green screen duet, you can use another video from TikTok as the background in your video. This feature will likely be useful for people who already use TikTok’s “green screen” to put images in the background of their videos with themselves superimposed onto the foreground. Now, they can put videos in the background instead. As with all duets, the creator of the duetted video is credited in the new video's caption with a link that directs to the original.  

How to make a green screen duet
