How do you take part in the Emoji Word challenge?

The trend became so popular on TikTok that Laura Gouillon, an augmented reality/virtual reality creator on the app, created a filter for it.

The filter adds an element of surprise and spontaneousness to the challenge.

The filter provides various emotions, including animals and various phrases. Participants need to act out the phrase accordingly.

People who wish to create a video of their own can follow these steps:

1. Open TikTok.
2. Click on the (+) icon to open the camera.
3. Tap the ‘Effects’ button in the bottom left corner.
4. Type ‘Emoji word challenge’ in the search bar.
5. Scroll down, and click the filter created by ‘lauragouillon.’
6. Press the record button to start, and wait for the words and emojis to randomly generate. Tap the screen again to try a new combination.

A few things to keep in mind while taking on the challenge are:

1) Select the 60 second length, so the time frame is enough to act out all the emotions.

2) Choose the settings where the app records a video handsfree. This way creators can use both their hands to express themselves better.

3) Begin acting only after the filter has confirmed the emotions and the phrase.

4) Try to be as authentic while recording the video without using too many cuts. Uncut videos are more likely to receive reactions from viewers.
