How to: Edit event Capture Settings
Want to keep things simple for your guests? You can easily edit capture types like slow-mo, boomerang, photos, or AI Portraits* so guests only see the options you want them to choose from.
Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Booth.Events app on your iPad.
- Tap into your event.
- Swipe to the middle page of your event settings.
- Look for the section where you’ll see toggle switches for each capture type.
- Use the switches to turn on or off
Each toggle is clearly labeled, and when turned off, that capture mode will no longer appear for guests at the booth.
Common Use Cases
- Only want guests to take still photos? Turn off slow-mo, boomerang, and video.
- Want a faster event flow? Reduce choices to speed up the line.
- Running a branded activation with one specific style? Keep it clean and on-message.
Capture Setup
- Countdown Timer. This timer determines how long guests have before the video, slow-mo, boomerang, or the first photo is taken.
- App Sounds. If you don't want the app to play sound, turn this off
- Portrait Mode. Adds a portrait-like effect to video & photos. While portrait mode is on you cannot make slow-mos. Requires iOS 15 or newer and an iPad/iPhone with Face ID. Warning: this can make your device very hot, so make sure your device is well ventilated. If your phone/iPad overheats, turn this feature off.
- Convert photos to Black & White. Choose from three black and white presets.
- Make a MP4/GIF from photos. When taking more than 2 photos, the app will also create an MP4 of the photos put together like a GIF.
- GIF - Number of photos. When making a GIF, controls how many photos are taken.
- GIF - playback speed. Changes how fast the GIF playback speed is.
- GIF - apply boomerang effect. Adds a boomerang effect during GIF creation.
- Slow-mo: Record time. Controls how long the slow-mo is recorded for. The duration of the actual MP4 will be much longer.
- Slow-mo: apply boomerang effect. When turned on the slow-mo video will have a boomerang effect applied to it
- Video: Max recording time. This controls how long guests are allowed to record videos with sound. If your guests take too long, make it shorter.
- Attract screen delay. How long until the app shows the attract screen when no touches on the screen are detected and no faces are seen by the device camera.
- Idle timeout (no touch & no face). If a guest starts taking photos and then leaves meaning that the app is left halfway through a session, how long until the app aborts this session and goes back to the home screen. Note that a touch on the screen or a face seen by the device camera resets this timer.
