Key Features of Zalo Video

The video features on Zalo Video are quite similar to TikTok. Specifically, users can watch multiple short videos on the app and interact with videos by liking, disliking, saving, and sharing videos.

Diverse content

Zalo Video focuses on providing short videos usually under 30 seconds for users to quickly consume content. In addition, the content themes of the videos are also diverse, contributed by many creators on both TikTok and Zalo Video. Users can find viral TikTok videos on Zalo ranging from food and fashion reviews to beauty, lifestyle, entertainment, and politics.

Intelligent algorithm

Like many other social media platforms, Zalo Video also uses intelligent algorithms to personalize users’ experiences. Specifically, this feature is divided into two sections: “Following” and “For You”.

• For the “Following” section: The app will suggest the latest short videos from the channels you have followed before.
• For the “For You” section: The app will automatically suggest new videos based on your interests and viewing history.

If you like and spend a long time watching a particular video, the app will understand that you tend to enjoy watching similar video topics and will suggest similar videos to you. Conversely, if you dislike a video, the app will limit similar content for you.

Sharing and saving videos

Similar to TikTok, Zalo Video also features a save function to help users easily save and share their favorite videos with friends. When sharing, users can copy the link or share the video on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger. To save the video to their device, users only need to click the save button.

User-friendly interface

Overall, the interface of Zalo Video does not differ much from TikTok or YouTube Shorts. New videos will automatically appear as you scroll up from the bottom of the screen. Video features such as liking, disliking, sharing, and commenting will be located on the right side of the screen. You can easily view a creator’s channel by swiping right and tapping the screen to interact with that channel.
