Before you begin
Android steps
- 1Open Events → Create/Edit. Choose automatic or manual capture and set the countdown.
- 2Set the automatic delay and allowed retakes. Enable the filter screen only when guests should use it.
- 3Enable kiosk if required. Configure the offered session timer; paid sessions still follow payment timing policy.
- 4Run a session, use retakes up to the limit and let a session time out. Confirm the booth returns to a state ready for the next guest.
iPhone and iPad steps
- 1Open Events → Edit → session settings. Choose automatic/manual capture, countdown and retakes.
- 2For Live Photo, use a countdown that meets the requirement shown in the UI. A short countdown suspends motion instead of silently adding time.
- 3When enabling kiosk, complete the requested owner verification. Ensure the device has a passcode if required.
- 4Choose an overall or per-screen timer as available. Test frame selection, capture, filters and Result, including expiry.
Check the result
Operator check
Guests can follow the countdown, retakes stop at the configured limit, and the operator can still access management controls.
If something goes wrong
| Symptom | Next step |
|---|---|
| Live Photo cannot be enabled | Check the countdown and camera-source support rather than repeatedly toggling it. |
| No timer is shown in a normal event | Timer controls depend on kiosk mode and session policy; not every event uses the same timing. |
