    Community Answer

    Assuming you can't get a new tablet, make sure you're in good light. Make sure you're filming during golden hour (usually between the hours of 6 to 8 in the evening). If inside, film near a window.

    Your videos will not be that clear. Consider getting a decent external USB camera to use instead.

    Community Answer

    Barely. The camera won't work, and you can't import videos. If you want to just browse the memes or regular Tik Toks, then yes, it will work.
