When a blogger publishes content on TikTok, he cares not only about what viewers will see, but also about what they will read under the video. This is a very important point that people really pay attention to. Especially useful for pointing out the meaning that is actually present, making a funny joke or giving a nickname on Instagram. In this article, we will talk about how to change the description of a Tik Tok video.
What the ideal description should look like
It is very important that what is written under the video fits it one hundred percent. Even here you can derive something like a universal formula, or at least try. Alas, popularity has no exact rules!
For a perfect description, follow these guidelines:
- specify hashtags that can help understand the topic of the video or attract an audience. It is important not to go too far with them so that the account does not accidentally fly into blocking;
- Full reflect what is happening in the video. If the material came out sad, it would be inappropriate to joke on abstract topics or call for likes;
- there are elements of interactivity, interaction with the audience. It is important to encourage leaving an opinion in the comments to get a response from the viewers. Do not forget to answer them yourself so that the dialogue goes on more actively;
- brevity is the sister of talent. Have you forgotten about this phrase? It will come in handy here too, because we need to fit our thought, limiting ourselves to 150 characters.
How to leave text below the video
You may well not fill out the description and leave the space empty, but this is not useful for your statistics. Yes, the text under the video itself will not attract a crowd of fans, but if something can still catch their eye, it’s not only the video, but also the description under it.
To leave it, do the following:
- Click on the plus in the bottom menu.
- Removing material or uploading ready-made.
- Next, edit, and stop at the place where it’s time to publish.
- Look carefully at the small picture of the future video, where they ask you to choose a cover. On the left there will be a field in which we must enter our text.
If everything is ready – check everything for errors, they should not be. Feel free to click on the red “Publish” button.
How to edit description after posting
One of the most frequently asked questions by users. What to do with the description, which still made a mistake? Is it possible to remove it altogether?
The answer to these questions is no. After publication, no manipulations can be carried out. The app does not have this feature. Therefore, we recommend that you be very careful.
All you can afford is to open the comments and write there that you made a mistake or the information is out of date, and so on. Or delete the video and re-upload it. But this is in the case when not much time has passed since the publication. It would be a pity to delete a popular video.
How to edit video description in drafts
Here such function is possible. Drafts are subject to editing on an ongoing basis, and this applies to absolutely any part of them. Just go to “Drafts” in your profile, select the video you want, and replace or delete the text in the corresponding field.
How to fully open the video description
The ellipsis at the end reveals everything completely. Necessary for long descriptions, where 90+ characters.
Summary
The caption under the video, although not super effective, as it may seem, is able to attract attention no worse than the video itself. Try something unusual, experiment. Never leave this field blank, it’s better to write something unexpected there so that the audience will guess what you mean.
