几个月来，尝试在 PC 上使用 TikTok(TikTok on a PC)一直是一项艰巨的挑战。我们被迫使用奇怪的桌面应用程序(desktop apps)或尝试使用Android模拟器强制解决问题，但这一天已经结束。
TikTok现在终于发布了一款TikTok PC应用程序，它可以直接在浏览器(available straight within the browser)中使用。在大多数情况下，该功能的工作方式与在移动设备上的工作方式相同，但您需要了解桌面布局(desktop layout)，一开始可能会有些混乱。一些功能也被禁用，但对于桌面用户来说这是一个很好的开始。
如何在您的 PC 上浏览 TikTok(How To Browse TikTok On Your PC)
要在 PC 上访问TikTok，只需访问TikTok.com。到达那里后，单击“立即观看”(Watch Now)按钮开始。您现在可以在桌面上访问 TikTok。
您可以通过单击趋势主页上的每个(trending homepage)视频面板(video panel)进行浏览以观看它，或单击右上角的发现(discover )以查找更多内容。
您可能会注意到功能有点受限。您将无法搜索特定的标签或短语，但有一种解决方法。如果要搜索特定标签，只需单击页面顶部的URL 栏并输入以下地址：(URL bar)
https://www.tiktok.com/tag/KEYWORD-HERE.
不幸的是，功能仅限于鼓励更多安装到移动设备，因此这是目前浏览标准趋势标签的唯一解决方法。
您还可以使用以下URL(URL –) 手动搜索特定用户- https://www.tiktok.com/@USERNAMEHERE.
目前，这些是您在 PC 上浏览TikTok时需要使用的主要解决方法。我们预测TikTok将在可预见的将来限制 PC 上的功能，因此您应该将此页面添加为书签，以防您需要再次遵循我们的指南。
如何上传 TikTok 视频并在 PC 上访问您的帐户(How To Upload TikTok Videos & Access Your Account On PC)
您可以通过主网站将视频上传到 PC 上的 TikTok，按照以下步骤操作时，功能类似于移动应用程序。首先(First)，访问TikTok.com ，如果您还没有 点击立即观看。(Watch Now )
之后，单击右上角的上传按钮，然后选择您过去用于帐户的登录选项。(login option)如果您是TikTok的新手，您可以使用Twitter 或 Instagram(Twitter or Instagram)等其他社交平台登录并自动创建一个帐户。
我们强烈建议您先下载TikTok 应用程序(TikTok app)，然后在那里设置您的帐户，因为您将对应用程序本身拥有更多控制权。您可以在此处下载TikTok iOS 应用程序(TikTok iOS app here )和在此处下载Android 应用程序(Android app here)。如果您需要学习基础知识，可以在此处了解如何在移动设备上使用TikTok。
登录后，您就可以开始上传视频了。只需(Simply)随时单击屏幕右上角的上传视频即可开始。您将被带到上传页面。您可以单击“选择要上传(to Upload)的视频(Select a Video) ”以将其带到计算机上的文件浏览器(file browser)。导航(Navigate)到您要上传的视频，然后双击它开始上传。
重要的是要知道视频的长度必须低于 60 秒，分辨率必须为 720×1280 或更高。以纵向模式(portrait mode)拍摄的视频(Videos shot)总是会更好，但横向视频(landscape video)也会上传。观看横向视频(landscape video)时，视频上方和下方都会出现黑条。
在上传视频时，您将有一些选项来编辑标题、标记用户和添加主题标签。单击(Click)@ 或# 符号之一，您将能够键入以查找标签。
当您开始输入时，会出现建议。如果您想查找流行的主题标签，这很有用，因为结果将显示每个主题标签已发布了多少TikTok视频。(TikTok)如果您在选择Hashtags 方面(Hashtags)需要帮助，可以阅读我们的TikTok 营销(TikTok marketing)指南。
许多 TikTok 最强大的编辑功能在桌面上丢失了。您无法选择音乐，这是 TikTok 最大的功能之一，您也无法在视频本身上添加字幕。但是，对于那些难以从手机定期上传的人来说，这是一个很好的选择。
如果您想尝试获取TikTok的所有功能，另一种选择是在您的 PC 上下载 Android 模拟器。(download an Android emulator)这样，您可以在模拟器中下载移动应用程序并访问所有功能。
但是，这种方法有一些困难。当您尝试通过模拟器上传时， TikTok(TikTok)经常崩溃或没有响应 - 开发人员尽最大努力阻止模拟器的使用(emulator usage)，因此无论它是否真的有效，它都会受到打击或错过。
完整的 TikTok 功能会很快登陆桌面吗？(Will Full TikTok Functionality Come to Desktop Soon?)
TikTok对Instagram采取了类似的方法，提供从浏览器访问的方式。有意限制功能(Functionality)以鼓励更多应用安装。
不幸的是，这意味着TikTok的桌面使用(s desktop usage)可能总是缺乏移动设备上可用的出色视频编辑功能。最重要的是，通过Android模拟器上传内容很少奏效。有许多Microsoft Store 应用程序(Microsoft Store apps)声称在桌面上提供TikTok功能，但通过我们的研究，我们还没有找到真正有效的应用程序。
那么这是什么意思？您要么需要适应TikTok 官方网站(TikTok website)上的有限功能，要么如果TikTok对您的工作或社交生活至关重要，您将需要更改您的工作流程，以便您可以轻松地将视频传输到手机或从手机传输设备将它们上传到那里。

How To Use TikTok On PC
For mоnths, trying to use TikTok on a PC has been a tough challenge. We were forced to use strange desktop apps or try to force workarounds with Android emulators, but that day has come to an end.
TikTok has now finally released a TikTok PC app and it’s available straight within the browser. For the most part, the functionality works the same as it does on the mobile, although you’ll need to wrap your head around the desktop layout, which can be a little confusing at first. Some features are also disabled, but it’s a great first start for desktop users.
If you prefer, you can also check out our YouTube channel, where we posted a short video going on over to use Tiktok on PC and what features are supported and which are missing:
How To Browse TikTok On Your PC
To access TikTok on PC, simply visit TikTok.com. Once you’re there, click the Watch Now button to get started. You now have access to TikTok on your desktop.
You can browse by clicking on each video panel on the trending homepage to watch it, or click discover in the very top right to find more content.
You may notice that functionality is a little bit limited. You won’t be able to search for specific tags or phrases, but there is a workaround. If you want to search for a specific tag, simply click on the URL bar at the top of the page and type the following address:
https://www.tiktok.com/tag/KEYWORD-HERE.
Unfortunately, functionality has been limited to encourage more installs to mobile devices, so this is the only workaround to browse past the standard trending tags right now.
You can also manually search for specific users by using the following URL – https://www.tiktok.com/@USERNAMEHERE.
For now, these are the main workarounds you’ll need to use to browse TikTok on your PC. We predict TikTok will limit functionality on PC for the foreseeable future so you should bookmark this page in case you need to follow our guide again.
How To Upload TikTok Videos & Access Your Account On PC
You can upload videos to TikTok on PC through the main website, and functionality is similar to the mobile app when you follow our steps below. First, visit TikTok.com and click Watch Now if you haven’t already.
After, click the upload button in the top right, and then choose the login option you’ve used for your account in the past. If you’re new to TikTok, you can use another social platform like Twitter or Instagram to login and automatically create an account.
We would highly recommend downloading the TikTok app first, and setting up your account there as you’ll have more control in the app itself. You can download the TikTok iOS app here and the Android app here. If you need to learn the basics, you can find out how to use TikTok on mobile here.
Once you have signed in, you can start to upload videos. Simply click the upload video at the top right of the screen at any time to get started. You’ll be taken to the upload page. You can click Select a Video to Upload to be taken to your file browser on your computer. Navigate to a video you’d like to upload, and then double click it to start uploading.
It’s important to know that the video must be under 60 seconds in length and 720x1280 resolution or higher. Videos shot in portrait mode will always work out better, but landscape videos will upload too. When a landscape video is viewed, they’ll have black bars above and below the video.
Whilst your video is uploading, you’ll have some options to edit the caption, tag users, and add hashtags. Click either of the @ or # symbols and you’ll be able to type to find tags.
When you start typing, suggestions will appear. This is useful if you want to find popular hashtags, because the results will showcase just how many TikTok videos have been posted for each hashtag. You can read our TikTok marketing guide if you need help with choosing Hashtags.
Many of TikTok’s most powerful editing features are lost on the desktop. You cannot choose music, which is one of TikTok’s biggest features and you cannot add captions on the video itself. However, for those that struggle to upload regularly from their mobile, it’s a great alternative.
If you want to try and get all of the features for TikTok, an alternative option would be to download an Android emulator on your PC. That way, you can download the mobile app within the emulator and get access to all features.
This approach has some difficulties, though. TikTok often crashes or doesn’t respond when you try to upload through an emulator – the developers try their hardest to stop emulator usage so it’s hit or miss whether it’ll actually work.
Will Full TikTok Functionality Come to Desktop Soon?
TikTok is taking a similar approach to Instagram with how they provide access from the browser. Functionality is purposely limited to encourage more app installs.
Unfortunately, this means TikTok’s desktop usage may always lack the great video editing features available on mobile. On top of this, uploading content through Android emulators rarely works. There are many Microsoft Store apps that claim to offer TikTok features on desktop, but through our research we’ve yet to find one that genuinely works.
So what does this mean? You’ll either need to settle for the limited functionality on the official TikTok website, or if TikTok is paramount to your work or social life, you’ll need to change up your workflow so that you can easily transfer videos to and from your mobile device to upload them there.
