Community Q&A
- QuestionI'm using Tik Tok on my RCA tablet, and the camera is really bad quality. What do I do?Community AnswerAssuming you can't get a new tablet, make sure you're in good light. Make sure you're filming during golden hour (usually between the hours of 6 to 8 in the evening). If inside, film near a window.
