A: Currently, TikTok Gesture Control is designed for desktop browsers only. Mobile support may be added in future updates. Q: Why do I need to allow camera access? A: The camera is required for hand tracking. MediaPipe analyzes your camera feed in real-time to detect hand gestures. All processing happens locally in your browser - no video is recorded or transmitted. Q: Does this work with TikTok mobile app? A: No, this is a browser extension that works only on tiktok.com website accessed through a desktop browser. Q: Is my camera feed recorded or sent anywhere? A: Absolutely not!

Q: Can I customize which gestures do what? A: The current version comes with preset gestures optimized for TikTok navigation. Custom gesture mapping may be added in future updates based on user feedback. Q: The gestures are too sensitive/not sensitive enough. What can I do?
