💡Pinned videos refer to videos that are placed at the top of the creator’s profile, regardless of the date you posted the content.

And now that the introductions are done, how can you pin a video on TikTok?

▶️ You can only pin up to three videos: if you add a new one, the third one you chose will disappear.
