How to: Use a clicker/Bluetooth trigger on my photo booth?

You can use a Bluetooth remote (clicker) to trigger the Booth.Events camera, but a few conditions must be met to ensure it works smoothly.

Requirements for Using a Bluetooth Remote

To use a Bluetooth clicker successfully, you must:

1. Be using iOS 17 or higher

   Be either:

   • On the Shutter Button screen,
   • Or have all capture modes turned off except one,
   • And have only one template assigned
2. Make sure the app has only one path forward before capture

In simple terms: the app must be ready to take the photo without needing any selections (like filters, templates, or modes).

Why This Matters

Bluetooth clickers simulate a keyboard input (like pressing "Enter"). If the app is waiting for a selection (e.g., template or filter choice), the clicker won’t trigger the camera.

Pro Tip

For best results, set up your event so that everything is pre-selected. That way, a single click will trigger the capture process without needing to interact with the screen.
