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).

After you’ve input that information, tap Create an account. If you choose phone number, you'll log in with a code sent as a text. You’ll need to confirm your email address, and then you’re ready to post videos and like and comment on others. 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.

Tap Finish. Tap Choose Category and select something from the list. Tap Set as Private Video if you don’t want to share the video publicly. You can also add a description and tag a location. Tap Post Video. You also have the option to save it. Just tap Save to Project Drafts. Add a Song and Make it a Music Video

Open the Triller app. Tap the pink plus sign on the bottom of the screen. Select Music Video. Choose a song. You can use Triller’s music library or connect yours to the app. Next, you can trim the audio and choose the length. Changing runtime is done by sliding the button left and right. Drag the track left and right to choose which part of the song to use. Tap Record your video! to record your video, then press your camera button. The recording will stop automatically or you can stop it manually if you prefer. When you're done, tap Next. Tap Choose Category and select something from the list. Tap Post Video.
