Douyin, also known as the Chinese version of TikTok, is a free video streaming application from ByteDance, a leading Chinese technology company. The app’s name means “Shaking Sound” in Chinese, reflecting its ability to create creative, fun, and high-quality short videos. Douyin users can easily create, edit and share their videos, and participate in live streaming with lively music in the background.

Douyin and TikTok, despite sharing the same developer and many similar features, are two separate platforms. While TikTok serves international users, Douyin is only present in the Chinese market and focuses on local content. Douyin’s video editing feature provides users with a range of tools from stickers, frames, slow motion, to attractive filters, helping them express their creativity in each short video. In particular, Douyin’s live streaming and live Q&A features also highlight the high interactivity between users and followers.

While Douyin is introduced as a local version of TikTok, the truth is that you cannot access Douyin from app stores outside of China, and the content between the two apps is also significantly different. Additionally, Douyin provides an effective platform to showcase creative talent in a short time, and can be used as an effective marketing tool through features such as live streaming and Q&A directly, expanding the ability to interact with the audience.
