Just like adding snippets of text to photos, you can do the same with videos you post on TikTok. You can include an explanation of the video, a title for your audience to see, or just something fun.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you save the video as a draft to work on it further before posting it, you can edit the text before your followers see it.
