Features

Much like TikTok, Lasso allows users to make short, 15-second videos. After signing in through their Facebook or Instagram account, users are greeted by the app's recommended videos. If they slide their finger across the screen to the left, users can browse "Today's Top Creators" and hashtags.

If users wish to record videos, they can choses the speed of their video and the music. When the user removes their finger from the record button, the video stops and the user can begin recording again from the last edit point.
