Kiosk Mode

Self-service photo booth

Set up a tablet at your venue as a walk-up photo booth. Fans tap the screen, a 3-2-1 countdown starts, the photo is taken, and it resets automatically. No phone needed.

01

Get Your Kiosk URL

Go to Dashboard > Fan Cams > Settings > Schedule tab. You'll see the "Photo Booth / Kiosk Mode" card with your unique kiosk URL.

Kiosk URL: yourdomain.com/kiosk/{section-id}
02

Set Up the Tablet

Open the kiosk URL in Chrome or Safari on an iPad or Android tablet. Tap the browser's share button > "Add to Home Screen" to make it a full-screen app with no address bar.

03

Position It

Mount the tablet at eye level on a stand or tripod. Ensure good lighting — the front camera needs light for clear selfies. Place it where foot traffic flows naturally.

04

How It Works

Screen shows "Tap to Start" with your branding and sponsors. Fan taps anywhere → 3-2-1 countdown with live camera preview → flash effect → "Photo Taken!" confirmation → auto-resets in 5 seconds.

05

Branding

Your logo, colours, sponsors, and photo frames appear automatically — same settings as your Appearance and Sponsors tabs. No separate configuration.

06

Moderate as Normal

Kiosk photos appear in your moderation queue like any other selfie. Approve, reject, or let AI auto-moderation handle them.

Pro Tips

  • Use a tablet with a high-quality front camera for the best results.
  • Lock the tablet into "Guided Access" mode (iPad) or "Screen Pinning" (Android) to prevent fans from exiting the app.
  • Place a sign next to the booth: "By using this photo booth, you consent to your photo being displayed at this event."
  • Run multiple kiosks by opening the same URL on multiple tablets — they all feed into the same moderation queue.

FAQ

Do fans need to scan a QR code?

No. Kiosk mode is entirely walk-up. Tap the screen and smile.

What about consent?

Kiosk mode skips the digital consent screen. You must have physical signage at the booth clearly stating consent terms.

Can I collect fan data in kiosk mode?

Not currently — kiosk mode is designed for speed. For data collection, use the QR code flow which includes the consent screen with your custom form.

What if the upload fails?

The screen shows "Oops! Upload failed" and resets after 5 seconds. Check your internet connection.

What if nobody interacts for a while?

The "Tap to Start" screen stays up indefinitely. It shows your branding and sponsors as a passive display until someone taps.
