TikTok announced today it’s expanding its Video Kit offering for developers to include those building apps for the web, desktop and consoles, in addition to its previous support for mobile platforms.
Alongside the news, the company unveiled a host of new third-party apps that would now integrate with TikTok, including Clipchamp, Combo, Grabyo, Kapwing, Mobcrush and LG U+.
The company statement read, “The Share to TikTok feature enriches the content available on TikTok, diversifies the types of videos users can discover, and offers more editing choices for people to explore in addition to TikTok’s built-in creative tools. Building on the existing ways that people can create and share content on TikTok, the expansion of the feature to include web, desktop, and console-based developers will further advance the creative process and give people multiple avenues to create new original, high-quality content.”
“TikTok’s Share to TikTok Video Kit product enables third-party apps and developers to share content directly into TikTok and gives users the flexibility to edit their content using their favorite apps and upload that content easily and seamlessly to TikTok”, statement adds.
Video Kit is TikTok’s solution, which includes the “Share to TikTok” option that allows third-party tools and apps to integrate with TikTok so their users can upload video files directly to TikTok from their own app’s editing platform.
First launched in 2019, Share to TikTok was the first feature introduced in the TikTok for Developers program, which has since expanded to offer new tools like Login Kit and Sound Kit.
Today, Share to TikTok can be found in a number of tools, like Adobe Premiere Rush, Picsart, Enlight Videoleap, Momento GIF Maker and others.
These sorts of apps are often used by professional creators who want to be able to make more advanced edits than what’s offered by the TikTok app alone.
