Would you like your visitors to watch your TikTok videos one after another in a fullscreen player, right on your site?
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to turn on Swipe View for a TikTok feed and how it works for your visitors. All you need is TikTok Feeds Pro and a feed that shows your TikTok videos.
Requirements: Swipe View requires TikTok Feeds Pro with a basic license level or higher.
Before you get started, make sure TikTok Feeds Pro is installed and activated on your WordPress site. If you don’t have a feed yet, see our guide on creating a TikTok feed.
Each feed has a Video Player Experience setting that controls what happens when a visitor clicks a video. Videos can open in a lightbox, play inline in the feed, or open in Swipe View. By default, a feed uses the lightbox or the inline player, depending on its template.
Swipe View works in feeds that use the Grid, List, or Masonry layout. The Masonry layout needs the plus license level or higher.
Here is what we will cover:
Turning On Swipe View for a Feed
To get started, we’ll open the feed where you’d like to use Swipe View.
From your WordPress admin sidebar, go to TikTok Feeds » All Feeds. Then, click the name of the feed.
Your feed opens in the feed editor. In the Customize tab, click Video Player Experience.
Next, select Swipe.
When you’re done, click Save.
From now on, videos in this feed open in Swipe View when visitors click them.
Watching Videos in Swipe View
Next, we’ll look at Swipe View the way your visitors see it.
To open Swipe View, click a video in your feed on the front end of your site.
The video opens in a fullscreen, vertical player and starts playing. The player shows your TikTok username with a Follow button and the caption. It also has a View on TikTok button and can show the view, like, comment, and share counts.
Here’s how visitors can use the player:
- Visitors can click the arrows beside the player to move between videos. On a keyboard, the up and down arrow keys, the J and K keys, and the Page Up and Page Down keys work too.
- Visitors can press the spacebar to pause or play a video.
- At the top of the player, click the speaker button to turn the sound on or off. The M key works too.
- In the top-left corner, click the X to close the player. The Esc key works too.
That’s it! You now know how to turn on Swipe View for a TikTok feed and how it works for your visitors. Next, take a look at our guide on displaying multiple TikTok feeds on one page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about Swipe View for TikTok videos.

Yes. Each feed has its own Video Player Experience setting. You can choose Swipe for some feeds and keep the lightbox or inline player in others.

Why do my videos still open the old way after I turn on Swipe View?
Swipe View works in feeds that use the Grid, List, or Masonry layout. If your feed uses another layout, try switching it to one of these in the feed editor’s Layout settings.
If your site uses a caching plugin, visitors can still see a copy of the page from before you saved your feed. In that case, clear your site’s cache. See How to Clear Your Cache in WordPress for a step-by-step guide.
Do videos play with sound in Swipe View?
Some browsers only allow videos to start muted. In that case, the player shows a Tap to unmute hint. To turn the sound on, click the speaker button or press the M key.
