From a smartphone or computer, the Chinese social network TikTok makes it easy to download certain videos that are broadcast there. Tech&Co explains the procedure to follow.
TikTok is full of videos of all kinds. Whether or not you have an account at the chinese platform, it is possible to download directly via mobile phone or computer. Practical, this process allows:
- To save your favorite content even if its authors, or TikTok, remove it
- To simplify the sharing of a video with people who are not subscribed to the application
It should be noted that the streams downloaded via TikTok are in MP4 format. In addition, they systematically include a watermark: the TikTok logo accompanied by the name of the video creator in order to protect the latter’s copyright. Also, due to privacy settings implemented by some content authors, videos may not be saved.
