TikTok is primarily intended to be used on a smartphone screen. You’re not limited to using an iPhone or Android phone, however. We’ll show you how to use TikTok on a school Chromebook or personal Chromebook.
Using a mobile app on a desktop computer may seem counterproductive, but Chromebooks are flexible. Many have touchscreens and are tablet-compatible. There are a few alternatives available to you while using TikTok on ChromeOS.

Use TikTok in a browser
The desktop version of TikTok’s website functions quite similarly to its mobile applications. On your Chromebook, open the Chrome browser and go to tiktok.com. Logging in is the first thing to do.
Following that, you’ll see all of the well-known TikTok choices in a new layout. Inbox, messaging, and uploading is located at the upper right.
There are tabs for “For You,” “Following,” and “Live” on the left.
Just like in the app, you can navigate up and down through the videos. On the right side of the videos are options for “Like,” “Comment,” and “Share.”
You can “install” the TikTok online app from the URL bar if you want it to show up in your app drawer.
All there is to it is that. Surprisingly, TikTok on a desktop interface works nicely.

Get TikTok on Playstore
Installing TikTok from the Play Store will provide you with the same experience that you’re accustomed to on your phone. Launch the “Play Store” after opening the app drawer.
Select “Install” after searching “TikTok.”
Once it has been installed, choose “Open.” The app drawer will also be accessible at this point.
From this point on, everything is the same as it is on a phone. Once you log in, you can see TikTok on your Chromebook in vertical mode, just as it was designed to be seen.
The Android app will be more challenging to use on low-powered Chromebooks than the online version. Although the online version will often provide a nicer experience, you have the choice to sample both and channel surf as you choose.
