Step 3: Add a sound by tapping the "Add sound" icon on the top center of your screen.

From there you use the search bar to search for the sound you want or you can choose from your favorite sounds. When you tap a sound it will play, so you can make sure it's the sound you were looking for. To confirm it is the sound you want to use, tap the pink checkmark next to it.

Step 4: Alternatively if you are watching a TikTok and you want to make a TikTok using that sound, tap the name of the sound on the bottom of the screen.

When you select a sound and go to record your video, chances are the part of the sound you want to make a video to isn't what initially plays. To avoid this, before you record your TikTok edit what part of the sound plays through by trimming it. To trim a sound select the music note icon, this icon will only show up once you have selected a sound. You can also record a video without a TikTok sound and create your own audio, or you can add the sound after you record your video.

Step 5: Record your TikTok.

You can choose the length of your TikTok just above the pink record button. You can choose to make a 15-second, 60-second, or three-minute video, or you can make shorter videos. Once you have decided on the length, tap and hold the big pink record button on the bottom center of your screen; your TikTok will immediately start recording. You can also set a timer to record your video hands-free. To set a timer, tap the white clock timer icon. From there you can set a three or 10-second countdown. To start the countdown tap the pink bar that says "Start countdown." When the countdown ends, your TikTok video will automatically start recording. When setting the timer you can set a recording limit that controls the length of the video. Drag the pink line to the length you want to record to set a recording limit.

Step 7: Add your final touches.

On this screen you can add text, effects, sounds, and captions to your TikTok.
