We started a TikTok so when our bosses catch us on it we can say it's for work. https://t.co/0xwWvqZ94y @Piff_Marti pic.twitter.com/OktCaGXZ1hWe started a TikTok so when our bosses catch us on it we can say it's for work. https://t.co/0xwWvqZ94y @Piff_Marti pic.twitter.com/OktCaGXZ1h— Windows (@Windows) October 22, 2021October 22, 2021
The Windows TikTok account also features a group singing Windows startup sounds, a closer look at the limited edition Windows Bloomberry ice cream, and a clip of the Microsoft Internet Keyboard.
Interestingly, the only account that the Windows account follows on TikTok is Emily Zugay, a star of the platform known for her flat affect sarcasm. Some of her most famous videos center around remaking iconic company logos in ironic ways. Zugay is quite famous on the platform but is a bit odd to see as the only person followed by the Windows account.
We're still waiting for an official Windows Phone account.
TikTok is a viral video platform with content ranging from hilarious to cringeworthy. The Windows account has a mixture of both.
