On the TikTok desktop app, some features, like video editing, are not available. You can access the full mobile app experience from your computer by installing an Android emulator like BlueStacks. BlueStacks supports both Windows and macOS and has an intuitive user interface.
Here’s how to install BlueStacks:
- Visit bluestacks.com to download the app.
- Once downloaded, BlueStacks will open automatically. It will look similar to a mobile screen.
- From the home screen, with the “Game Center” tab selected, select “Google Play Store” beneath the “Recommended for you” heading.
- Log in to Google and enter a search for TikTok.
- Click “Install.” TikTok will be added to the “Library,” and the icon will display on your home screen.
- Launch TikTok, and it will appear the same way it does on your mobile.
- Sign in to your account as normal.
Ensure BlueStacks has access to your camera and microphone, then respond to the comment using video:
- Find the post you want to reply to using video.
- Click the comment icon.
- Select the comment you want to reply to.
- Hit the “Record” button to record and upload your video as normal.
- The comment you’re responding to will appear on your video as an overlay as a sticker. The sticker can be sized and moved as needed. If the sticker only appears in part of your video:
- Click on the sticker and select “Set duration.”
- The start and end times for the video segment where you want the comments sticker to appear can be selected using the sliders.
- Once you’re done, click “Next.”
- Depending on whether the comment you’re responding to was posted as a regular or question comment, you’ll either see “Reply to” or “Answer to” on the “Post” page. Viewers can tap that section of your caption to view the comment on the original video once your video has finished posting.
- Click “Post” when you are finished.
Your video will appear on both your main TikTok page and in the comments section of your original video.

Conclusion
You can reply to comments made on your videos in TikTok with text or video. If you need to respond in-depth to a comment or add a continuation to another video, responding to comments via video can be helpful. Your response video will have the comment you are responding to as an overlay. You can move the comment to the beginning and end of the section of your video that responds to it using the video editor.
However, since TikTok is primarily a mobile app, some features are not accessible through the desktop version. Installing the potent Android emulator BlueStacks is a workaround that enables you to install the TikTok app and access all of its mobile features.
