How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video
Upload two front-facing photos to Hotel Lobby AI Studio, pay $9.99 with just your email, and download the clip. That is 4 steps for a 15-second video that already has the original audio, ready in about 6–8 minutes.
What do you need to make a Hotel Lobby AI video?
You need two photos, one for each performer, an email address and $9.99. Hotel Lobby AI Studio turns them into the orange-booth performance.
- Two photos. One person or pet per photo, facing the camera. Photo 1 becomes the left performer and photo 2 the right one. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC all work.
- An email address. Checkout only asks for your email; there is no account or password to create. Your video and any credits are saved to that email.
- A way to pay. Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe, or a credit from a 3- or 5-video pack.
- Permission. Use photos of yourself, or of people who are happy to be in the video. You confirm you have permission from everyone in the photos before you upload.
- A TikTok, Instagram or YouTube account, if you want to post. Any account works for the upload itself.
You don't need an app or editing skills. Hotel Lobby AI Studio runs in your phone's browser, and the finished file already has the original "Hotel Lobby" audio, so it is ready to post as it is.
How do you make a Hotel Lobby AI video with Hotel Lobby AI Studio?
Hotel Lobby AI Studio makes the video in 4 steps: upload two photos, pay $9.99 with your email, wait about 6–8 minutes, then download and post. There is no editing.
Upload two photos
Add photo 1 for the left side and photo 2 for the right. People and pets both work, and JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC are accepted. Use the swap button if you want the two sides the other way round, and pick the Original orange booth or the Halloween booth.
Pay with your email
Enter your email at checkout; no account or password needed. Pay $9.99 by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe, or use a credit from a 3- or 5-video pack.
Wait about 6–8 minutes
Hotel Lobby AI Studio renders your take after payment. You can close the page; we email you when the video is ready. If it fails, we retry once automatically; if it still fails, you can try again for free from My videos.
Download and post
Download the 15-second MP4 (vertical 720 × 1280 by default) from My videos and post it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. The original "Hotel Lobby" audio is already in the file, and there is no watermark, logo or intro card. Videos stay in My videos for 30 days.
Where do you find your Hotel Lobby AI video after you pay?
Your Hotel Lobby AI Studio video appears in My videos about 6–8 minutes after payment, and we email the address you paid with when it is ready.
The browser you paid in shows your video and credits right away. On another phone or computer, sign in with the same email, using Google or a one-time 6-digit code, and everything you bought shows up. There is no password.
Only you, signed in with that email, can see and download your videos; there are no share links. To share a video, download the MP4 and post or send the file.
Finished videos stay in My videos for 30 days, and we email you before one is deleted. Uploaded photos are deleted after 7 days.
Which photos give the best Hotel Lobby AI result?
Clear, front-facing photos with one person in each give the most recognizable Hotel Lobby AI video. The photo matters more than anything else you choose.
- Face the camera. Straight-on shots keep the face recognizable. Side profiles, looking down or a face half in shadow often come out looking like someone else.
- Use good light. Daylight or a bright room works best. A window or the sun behind you darkens the face, and the AI has less detail to work with.
- One person per photo. Crop out friends in the background, or the AI may borrow the wrong face. Hotel Lobby AI Studio supports two performers, one photo each.
- Use a full-body photo from the front. Full-body photos carry clothes and accessories into the booth; tight selfies leave the outfit to guesswork. Skip backpacks and anything that looks different from behind: the performers turn around, and the AI has to guess the back.
- Sunglasses and hats are fine. They usually carry over into the video. Heavy beauty filters are the problem, because they change the face the AI sees.
- Pets: eyes on the camera. Pick a photo where your dog or cat faces the camera and fills most of the frame. One pet and one person, or two pets, both work.
Check the left-right order before you pay. Photo 1 is always on the left and photo 2 on the right, and a finished video can't be flipped.
How do you post a Hotel Lobby AI video on TikTok?
Posting a Hotel Lobby AI Studio video on TikTok takes 4 steps, and you don't add a sound: the original "Hotel Lobby" audio is already in the file.
TikTok's help page says a newly added sound replaces the existing background music and voices. Adding the song again would replace the audio your video is already lip-synced to, so skip Add sound.
Download the video to your phone
Open My videos and download the 15-second MP4. If you made it on a computer, sign in on your phone with the same email and download it there.
Upload it in TikTok
In the TikTok app, tap the Add post + button at the bottom and choose your video from your camera roll. The 9:16 file fills the screen without cropping.
Keep the original sound
Don't tap Add sound. Play the preview with your phone's sound on to check that the audio and the lips line up.
Write a caption and post
Add your caption and hashtags, then post. The video has no watermark, logo or intro card, so it starts on the performance.
For Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, upload the same MP4 as it is. Both take vertical video, and the audio travels inside the file.
If TikTok mutes the post later, it is because TikTok removes sounds it finds violate copyright or its Community Guidelines. Open the muted video, tap View details, then Change sound and pick the sound from TikTok's library.
How do you fix common Hotel Lobby AI video problems?
Most Hotel Lobby AI Studio problems come from the photo, the left-right order or the email you used at checkout. The six most common ones have simple fixes.
| Problem | Why it happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The face doesn't look like you | Side angle, dark light, a small face, a beauty filter or a second person in the photo | Use a front-facing, well-lit photo with one person. If the face is plainly wrong, contact us: we review it by hand and refund it. A finished video you simply don't like can't be redone or refunded. |
| Left and right are swapped | Photo 1 always goes on the left and photo 2 on the right | Check the order before paying and use the swap button. A finished video can't be flipped, so a new order needs a new video. |
| The video failed | A render can fail on our side | We retry once automatically. If it still fails, open My videos and try again for free, with the same photos or new ones. No charge, no credit used. |
| You can't find your video on another device | Videos are saved to the email you paid with | Sign in with that same email, using Google or a one-time 6-digit code. Check the ready email we sent to see which address you used. |
| The video plays without sound | Your phone is on silent, or the volume is down | Turn your phone's sound on and play it again. Hotel Lobby AI Studio videos have the original audio in the file. |
| TikTok muted it after posting | TikTok removes sounds it finds violate copyright or its Community Guidelines | Open the muted video, tap View details, then Change sound and pick the sound from TikTok's library. Business accounts can only use music cleared for commercial use. |
Hotel Lobby AI how-to questions
How long does it take?
About 6–8 minutes after payment with Hotel Lobby AI Studio. You can close the page; we email you when the video is ready.
Can I do 3 people?
No. Hotel Lobby AI Studio only supports two people, one photo each, because the booth is set up for two performers.
Can I use celebrities?
Only photos of people who have agreed to be in the video, so in practice yourself and people you know. Hotel Lobby AI Studio has no celebrity presets.
Does it work with pets?
Yes. Upload a clear photo of your pet as either performer, or use two pets. Pick a photo where the pet faces the camera.
Do I need an account?
No. Checkout only asks for your email. To see your videos on another device, sign in with the same email using Google or a one-time 6-digit code.
What size is best for TikTok?
Vertical 9:16. Hotel Lobby AI Studio makes 720 × 1280 vertical MP4 files by default, so you can post them to TikTok, Reels or Shorts without cropping. Pick Horizontal (1280 × 720) before you pay if you want a widescreen version.
Can I make it longer than 15 seconds?
Not right now. Every Hotel Lobby AI Studio video is 15 seconds.
Why is my video silent?
Hotel Lobby AI Studio videos have the original "Hotel Lobby" audio already in the file, with the lips moving to it. If one plays silent, check that your phone isn't on silent and the volume is up.
Will TikTok mute it?
It can. TikTok removes sounds it finds violate copyright or its Community Guidelines. If that happens, open the video, tap View details, then Change sound and pick the sound from TikTok's library.
