Your photos. The orange booth.
How to do the Hotel Lobby AI trend for free
The quickest starting point is a short orange booth draft. Prepare two separate portraits, use the free-to-try settings below, review the generated faces, then add the sound inside your social app.
Free to try: one eligible 4-second, 768p MiniMax H3 guest preview. Longer clips use credits.

Upload photos and choose your template
Two friends, one suspended microphone, alternating gestures. Start with two separate clear portraits. The 4-second starter uses MiniMax H3. Review the generated audio and add your chosen platform sound after downloading.
1. Prepare the photos
Choose one person per image, both looking toward the camera with sharp faces and similar lighting. Avoid sunglasses, covered mouths and several people in one photo. Upload Image 1 for the left performer and Image 2 for the right. For one person, select solo spotlight.
2. Choose the free starter preset
Select orange booth duo. Keep MiniMax H3, 4 seconds, 768p, default audio settings and 9:16. The preset already describes a plain orange wall, hanging mic and restrained alternating gestures. Do not change duration or resolution unless you are ready to use account credits.
3. Generate and inspect the draft
Generate once and wait for the job status to finish. Compare both faces, check the hands and make sure one person has not become the other. If the result fails, retry from the error state. A completed clip that needs a creative revision can consume another generation.
4. Add sound and post
Download the MP4, open Reels, Shorts or TikTok, and select the platform sound available to your account. Trim or shift the visual clip to a suitable beat. This workflow creates the visual scene; precise lyric-by-lyric mouth synchronization requires a separate supported lip-sync workflow.
Fix common problems
If identities blend, use separate clear portraits and repeat which image belongs on each side. If hands distort, choose a quieter gesture. If the set becomes a luxury hotel interior, retain “flat orange studio wall” and “no furniture.” If the free allowance is used, review available account credits before another attempt.
Hotel Lobby AI FAQ
Why does my video look like an actual hotel lobby?
The phrase can refer to interior design. Keep the orange studio backdrop, hanging microphone and solo/duo performance explicit in the prompt. The supplied presets already include these details and exclude a hotel interior.
What photos work best?
Use a sharp, well-lit photo of each person, with one person per image and the face unobstructed. Similar camera angles and lighting help a duo. A wider portrait with shoulders and hands visible gives the model more information than a tightly cropped selfie. JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB per image are supported.
Will it copy the original performance exactly?
These presets generate a new orange-studio performance from your photos. Faces, gestures and timing can vary. They do not transfer the original choreography, reproduce an exact frame-for-frame performance or guarantee synchronized lips.
Does the video include the Hotel Lobby song?
The prompt requests a silent performance; generated audio may still be present. After downloading your clip, choose the licensed sound available to your account inside TikTok, Instagram or YouTube. Music availability and permitted uses depend on the platform, region and account.
What video do I receive?
A short generated MP4 in vertical 9:16 framing. The starter setup uses 4 seconds and 768p. Review both faces and hands before posting; higher resolutions and longer durations may require sign-in and credits. Rendering time depends on the provider queue and is not guaranteed.
