What Is the Triller App?
Triller is a short-form video platform, available for Android and iOS. As with its competitors, users create video clips and share them; clips are automatically made public; you can make videos private if you prefer. Videos can be up to 60-second clips; 16-seconds is the default.
How Triller Works
You can view Triller videos without an account, as you can on TikTok, but you need to sign up to create videos, follow other users, and like and comment on their videos. (To follow someone, tap Follow at the bottom of their video.) You can also share videos you like to other social networks or via text or email. You can report content as spam, inappropriate, or I don’t like it. The app doesn’t ask any further questions, though, so it’s unclear what happens after reporting a video.
How to Join Triller
To create videos and interact with others on Triller, you need to sign for an account, and optionally, fill out a profile. Your profile can include a picture, your name, bio, Instagram ID, and a cover photo, in addition to your username (but the username is all you have to provide).
Create a Triller Video
You can upload a video you’ve already shot to the app or create clips using the built-in camera. After making one, you can download videos to your camera roll or share them on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms.
Add a Song and Make it a Music Video
To make music videos on Triller, you can record yourself dancing or lip-syncing to your favorite song, and the app will automatically edit it for you.
