The meaning of the lightning icon is: visible every day.

Douyin’s “Post Everyday” function is in the “Snapshot” mode of the video shooting interface. After shooting a video in Snapshot mode, users can choose “Post Everyday” to be visible throughout the day. "Post Daily" is also known as Douyin's "diary mode". This function can help users quickly share their life moments with friends and record certain important moments.

After posting a daily video through this diary, the video can only be displayed to the outside world for one day, and will be hidden after one day, similar to the "only visible for three days" in Moments. The published video diary will be displayed in the "Friends" section of Douyin with the "Lightning" logo. Users can also view the work in the "Me" interface.

The main functions of Douyin

Douyin is essentially a music short video community focused on young people. Users can choose songs and match them with short videos to form their own works. It is similar to Xiaokaxiu, but the difference is that Douyin users can make the video more creative through video shooting speed, video editing, special effects (repeat, flash, slow motion) and other technologies, rather than simple lip-syncing.

The Douyin platform is generally populated by young users. The soundtrack is mainly electronic music and dance music. The videos are divided into two schools: the dance school and the creative school. The most common feature is that they all have a sense of rhythm. There are also a few users who play lyrical music to demonstrate their coffee latte art skills, and they have become a breath of fresh air in the Douyin circle.
