This wikiHow teaches you how to find new effects for your videos on TikTok. If you're not finding an effect you want to use in the Effects list, try browsing other peoples' TikTok videos to look for ones you haven't seen. If you want to use an effect that can't be found on TikTok at all, try using a different video recording app first and then uploading that video to TikTok. Snapchat is one of the more popular options.

- 2Tap Discover. It's in the bottom left corner with a magnifying glass icon.
- 3Search for a video that uses an effect you wish to add. If you've seen a video with an effect you want to use, you can search for that video. If not, you can search for different keywords and browse the videos to check for cool effects. Tap the search bar at the top and type in your query.
