In terms of video playback, the PC version of Douyin supports full-screen playback, and supports (0.75/1.0/1.25/1.5/2.0) multiple playback, and supports the video continuous playback function.

The desired function is not yet available

Let’s talk about what the PC version of Tik Tok lacks. One is that it does not have a pinning function, and the other is that it does not have a minimalist interface function. These two are essential functions when you are slacking off or multitasking.

Summarize

Apart from being an independent client, the PC version of TikTok's other functions are basically the same as the web version. It still feels like a prototype, and there is no need to install this client yet. Let's wait until it is improved.
