With Photo Booth activation, you can create fun and memorable experiences that can be shared instantly, complete with branding. You can share your photos with friends immediately after the session with the Photo Booth Gallery, or by instant download.

Open

Open

Here is how it works:

• Launch the activation

• Select a template to use

• Either upload the image from your device storage or use the device camera to capture a quick selfie

• Tightly crop your face and hit Apply

• And that’s all!

Settings

Play Restrictions

Here you can set the restrictions on game play. There are two options available:

Event Group: The user is allowed this many game plays across all activations associated with the Event. This total applies to any activation that has the Event Group setting enabled.

Individual: Limits the number of times this activation can be played. Empty or 0 is unlimited.

Experience

Photo Booth offers two different modes/experiences:

• All in One - Opens the device's camera when the photo booth starts. This mode is great for full size photos. There are two different Photo Fit options available in this mode. These options will help you adjust your photo booth within your template cutout depending on your setup and camera.

  1. Contain - Contain preserves image quality; however, higher resolution cameras may create an empty margin at the top and bottom of your photo. This depends on the device and template you’re using.
  2. Fit - Fit will stretch your photo, if needed, to fit within the template cutout. Fit will never show any margins in your photo, but image resolution might be lower.

• Capture then Adjust - Takes the user through a sequence of steps to create their photo. This mode is ideal for face swap photos as it makes it easier to take a picture then position the user's head inside the cutout. In this experience users can also upload their own photos instead of using the device's camera.

Virtual Background Image

You can use a virtual background image (just like on Zoom) when taking photos. To use this feature, do the below:

Enable the Remove Background option that allows you to remove template background. Then you can either set a Transparent background or use a custom Image as your Virtual Background Image.

This option is also available on custom template level where you can use a virtual background image for your Custom Template.

Templates

Photo Booth comes with a wide range of prebuilt templates (or frames) that you can use to take photos. For a customized template, contact your account representative for more information.

Custom Templates

You can use your own custom templates (or frames) if you like. The following parameters are required for any uploaded custom image:

You can also remove the default background and use a custom background image for your template. 

Stickers

Stickers are the layer objects that you can put on top of your image. You can either use the default stickers that comes with Photo Booth or you can use your own custom stickers that you can upload to the system. We recommend using transparent .pngs for the best experience.

Default Image

You can set a custom default image or you can use the prebuilt default image. Recommended image dimensions are 643 pixels (width) × 857 pixels (height).

Camera Options

Show Switch Camera Button - You can use this option to allow users on mobile devices to switch from front to back camera and vice versa.

• Allow Screen Crop - Turns on controls to crop the image after the photo is taken.

The following options are available for launching the Gallery:

• View - Gallery can be viewed in Photo Wall or Slider mode. In Photo Wall, all the photos are displayed on a wall whereas in Slider mode, the photos are presented in a slider (or ligthbox) for easy viewing.

  The slider can be configured in either horizontal or vertical position. You can also control the number of images as well as use the auto play option to automatically play the photos slider.

Removing Images from Gallery

You have the option to remove/hide any any bad images or potentially inappropriate images from the gallery. On the activation submissions page, there is a switch below the image that allows the user to show/hide the image (shown by default).

Sharing Photos via Email

Photo Booth allows the option to share photos via email once they have been captured. There are two options:

• Share via Email (Automatic) - This option will send an automatic email from the system to the provided recipients. The email comes ‘From’ info@captello.com and has Captello branding. It is not currently editable.

• Share via Email (Using Device’s Email Client) - Uses the device’s default email client to send the email message. In this case, the From: address will be the email clients From: address, not a generic system email address.

• Select from a List - Gives option to select person from a pre-loaded list. It requires a Security Code to allow access to the list. The Security Code should be at least 4 characters alphanumeric.

  Here is the workflow for selecting from list once the photo is taken:

   

  
  The following parameters can be customized with this option:

Beyond that, everything else is also customizable so you can set your own Email Subject, Email Message as well as Email Button Text etc.
