1. Choose the cast
Use one person or original character per image. Front-facing photos with visible facial detail and even lighting give the model the clearest identity reference.
Step-by-step guide
How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video.
Upload one clear photo for each performer, sign in to your HotelLobbyAI account, and generate the recognizable two-person performance as a downloadable MP4. No prompt writing or editing timeline is required.

Short answer: you need two JPG, PNG or WebP portraits under 10 MB each, 600 credits and about seven minutes. The result stays private by default and can be previewed and downloaded on the same page.
2. Assign left and right
The two upload slots map to different performers in the choreography. Put each photo in the position you want before starting.
3. Sign in and generate
Email and Google sign-in both access the same HotelLobbyAI account and credit balance. After authentication, a pending generation continues automatically.
4. Preview and download
The page shows task progress, then loads the completed video and MP4 download link. Confirmed failed tasks follow the credit refund rules.
What the public trend data says
The Associated Press reported on October 2, 2026 that the 2022 performance had fueled a wave of AI remakes featuring public figures, fictional characters, athletes and animals.

Common fixes
If identity drifts, replace a group photo with a single-person portrait. If the wrong performer appears on one side, swap the two upload slots. Avoid covered faces, heavy blur and extreme side profiles.
