The resources that social networks make available to us to enhance creativity are so many that they can go unnoticed, which is why today we highlight Draw with a friend, this is the surprising new effect of TikTok .
The platform has partnered with the Canadian mobile phone company Bell to offer an effect that is based on augmented reality and allows you to collaborate with a friend so that he contributes his art to your videos without needing to be next to you in the same room.
HOW THE DRAW WITH A FRIEND FILTER WORKS ON TIKTOK
Everyone who watches a video with this effect wonders how the Draw with a friend filter works on TikTok . In order to use it, we will have to enter the application and start the same way as always to publish a video, by clicking on the central icon ‘+’ in the lower menu to activate the camera.
Once activated, we select ‘ Effects ‘, where the most popular ones usually appear, but in this case we are interested in accessing the ‘New’ tab. There, we will find in the first row on the right this new filter, which can be detected by the two lines and the Bell logo. When pressed, the Paint Portal that Bell and TikTok have integrated will be activated, allowing us to draw whatever we want on the video .
This effect has been widely received in Anglo-Saxon countries and some challenges have already become popular . Trying to draw a simple letter blindly can end up resulting in a video that adds many likes , so if you are looking for video ideas for TikTok, this can be used to surprise, as it is not yet widespread in Spain.
The grace of this filter is not only in being able to draw on your video, but also in doing it with our friends. In the next step we will explain in detail what needs to be done to be able to record these collaborative tiktoks , which will always be much more interesting for your audience .
HOW TO PAINT WITH A FRIEND WITH THE DRAW WITH A TIKTOK FRIEND EFFECT
The interesting thing about the new filter is how to paint with a friend with the Draw with a friend effect from TikTok . By choosing this effect, our screen will allow us to draw ourselves as can be seen in the button at the top left of the screen that reads ‘1P’.
To be able to invite a friend, we have to press the icon on its right, in which a doll with the ‘+’ sign appears. A screen will then appear with the list of our friends on TikTok, to whom we can send an invitation to be able to record and draw together at the same time and make our video even more surprising, creative and fun for our followers. At that moment, ‘2P’ will appear on our screen, a sign that it is working correctly.
At the moment, the duration of these collaborative videos cannot be longer than 15 seconds , as can be seen in the icon that we have to press to invite a friend. Even so, in those 15 seconds creativity can flow through unexpected channels and make our tiktok a real work of art (or something very hooligan if the friend we invite has the soul of a troll , it all depends on the approach you want to give it ).
To promote the new effect in Canada, TikTok partnered with some influencers in the country who used this augmented reality tool . The tiktoker Justin Hopper , a born specialist in trolling his father, said that ” the laughs of drawing together with augmented reality are priceless .”
