How to Make the Hotel Lobby AI Meme From Two Photos

Hotel Lobby is a two-person bit: two people at one hanging microphone in an orange studio, running through a routine of hand gestures. A Hotel Lobby AI video puts the two people from your photos into that routine. Here's how to make one.

Watch it first

What to prepare

Two photos, one for each side of the microphone.

• One person per photo: one photo for the person on the left, one for the person on the right.
• A clear, front-facing face with even light. Skip sunglasses, masks and heavy filters.
• Everyday photos only. Film and music video stills are not allowed.
• People only. This template doesn't take pet photos.

Steps

1. Open the Hotel Lobby page.
2. Pick the shape, 9:16 vertical or 16:9 widescreen, and a quality: 480p, 720p or 1080p. See pricing for the current prices.
3. Add the photo of the left person and the photo of the right person. We check them first. If one doesn't pass, nothing is charged and you can try another.
4. Sign in with email or Google and pay once. There is no subscription.
5. Wait a few minutes. The finished clip waits under My videos, labelled AI generated. Download it within 30 days.

What to watch for

• The pairing. The bit is funnier when the two people don't match: an older couple, two friends with opposite styles, a parent and a grown-up kid.
• Similar photos. Two photos with similar framing and light give a more even result than one close-up and one far shot.
• The mouth. Lips follow the performance but won't match every word.
• Who can be in it. Only you or people who agreed. Photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone under 18 are not allowed.

What you get

A 15-second MP4, in 9:16 vertical or 16:9 widescreen, marked as AI generated. It is a new clip, not a filter on your own footage and not a face swap.
