TikTok Tests New “Video Duet” Feature for Groups. The popular video app TikTok is trying out a major change to its “Duet” function. This test allows multiple people to join a single video together. The original “Duet” feature only let one user respond to another user’s video side-by-side. This new test expands that possibility. Now, several users can all react to the same original video at once.

TikTok confirmed this experiment is happening. The company says it wants to see how people use this new group feature. The goal is to encourage more creative collaborations. Friends could create layered reactions or build complex performances together. This could make group interactions easier and more fun directly on the platform.
Right now, the test is limited. Only a small number of users globally can access this multi-user Duet option. TikTok is watching how these testers use the feature. The company needs to understand user behavior. They also need to solve any technical problems. There is no guarantee this test will become a permanent feature for everyone. TikTok will decide based on the test results.

This move shows TikTok’s focus on social connection. Making tools for group participation is key. The platform competes hard for user time against rivals like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Adding new ways for people to create together could help TikTok keep users engaged. Observers see this as an effort to strengthen community bonds on the app. Creators often ask for more collaborative tools. This test answers some of those requests. It represents a step towards more interactive video creation. The potential for viral group content is significant.
