Steps
Step 1. Open
Snapchat.
Click on the Snapchat app icon. This looks like a white ghost on a yellow background. When you are logged in, this will open the Snapchat camera page.
- If you are not logged in to Snapchat, click LOGIN, enter your username (or email) and password and click LOGIN.
Step 2. Record your video
Click and hold the large circular "Capture" button at the bottom of the screen. Don't let go until you're done filming.
- You can record up to 60 seconds of video.
- Moving your finger to the left after the recording has started will lock the 'Capture' button so that you can remove your finger and the recording will not be interrupted. To stop recording in this mode, click on the red square in the center of the 'Capture' button.
Step 3. Click on the 'Text' icon
This is a big one t at the top right of the screen. This will bring up a menu with several text options.
Step #4. Select an option with large text
This can vary from large text until Rainbow or one of the more elaborate fonts; make sure you're not the ordinary Classic option that is set by default for Snapchat.

Step 5. Enter your text
Type the text you want to use in the Snapchat video and then click anywhere on the screen to save the text.

Step 7. Pin your text to a certain point in your video
Wait for the point when you want to pin your text and then quickly click and hold until the video pauses. Now you can reposition the text if needed-- just make sure to keep pressing with a finger until you're ready to pin the text.
Depending on your phone, you may need to hold down the text for up to a second before the video will pause
Step 8. Remove your finger
This will pin the text to the selected section of the video; after a few seconds the video will be played again
Remember that Snapchat's motion detection is pretty standard. So it's possible that your text won't stick to the object you've selected
