【mom teaches sex videos】

Sa Nguyen grew to fame on mom teaches sex videosher TikTok for her mukbang videos, but the Orange County, CA college student has grown her channels far beyond the eating trend. She shoots lifestyle vlogs and content about running, music festivals, her dogs and more.

At VidCon 2025's Meta Night Out, we chatted with Nguyen about all the tech she needs to grow her audience to a whopping 4.3 million followers on TikTok, 263,000 followers on Instagram, and 38,000 subscribers on YouTube.

She told Mashable that she uses her phone when she shoots on TikTok because it gives off a "FaceTime vibe" that her audience loves. She edits directly on the TikTok app or on the Instagram Edits app.

"If I'm filming an Instagram reel, I'll use edits and post it directly from edits," she said, adding that she occasionally uses CapCut, too.

But she doesn't use her phone to shoot all of her content. She also uses her Alix Earle light and the wired headphones from Apple — but when it comes to cameras, she has three go-tos.
