Tag People on TikTok in Video Captions And the Comment Section
In short, there’s no way to tag someone in a TikTok video other than through the caption.
You’ll need to edit the caption and mention that person’s username.
Then, viewers can tap on their username and be redirected to their TikTok page.
Alternatively, you can tag someone in the comment section of your video.
You may want to do this for several reasons:
- You want to tag a friend in the comment section to give you some ideas
- You want to reply to somebody’s comment, so you tag them to notify them of this
- You want to tag someone in the comments so they can respond to your comment
- Your video was inspired by someone else, so you tag them in the comment section to start a conversation
Below, we’ll explore a few ways of tagging people in the video caption and the comment section, so keep reading!
