Hotel Lobby AI video, made from your two faces
The Hotel Lobby AI video puts two people into the orange booth from Quavo and Takeoff’s COLORS performance. KickClap does it with two photos of your own — 10 seconds, $9.99 once, portrait or landscape, rendered at 720p. New purchases and video generation are currently closed. You can watch the completed example.
What a Hotel Lobby AI video actually looks like
One orange wall. One hanging microphone between the two of you. No cuts, no scene changes, no second location — the camera stays where it is and you two do the rest.
You take turns. One leads, the other reacts, and the reacting is what people rewatch. Halfway through you turn to each other. It ends the way the original ends, which is the whole reason it reads as that meme and not as a generic rap video.
What you get, and what you do not
You get a 10 seconds AI video based on two consenting adults' photos, with one hanging microphone in an orange booth. Choose portrait 9:16 or landscape 16:9, at 720p. Faces, movements and timing can vary between results.
This is a generator, not a template you assemble yourself. You do not pick shots, edit clips or sync anything — the fixed scene is the whole point of the format. One video, one price — see what else KickClap charges for.
You do not get Quavo or Takeoff. Neither of their faces, and not a frame-by-frame copy of their COLORS performance. You are not putting yourselves into their video; you are making your own, in the same format.
If what you actually wanted was the two of them, this is the wrong product and you should keep your $9.99.
The casting is the whole joke
Two people who have no business sharing a microphone. That is the format. It works because someone looks at the pairing and immediately knows who picked it.
- You and your best friend — the duo your group chat has been threatening to become for years.
- You and a parent — the one who has been quietly waiting for this moment.
- You and your partner — and the argument over who gets the better side of the booth.
Most people know exactly who they are putting in it before they finish reading this. If you already have a name in mind, that is your answer — pick the person you thought of first, not the person who makes the most sense.
The trend spread on TikTok as a pair of new faces in that booth, and everyone guessing who picked whom. Same joke here, except the two faces are you and someone you know.
How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video in three steps
- Pick who is in it. You plus a friend, a partner, or a parent.
- Add two photos. One clear, front-facing photo per person. Daylight, no sunglasses, no group shots, no filters. A clean photo is the difference between “that is us” and “that is not quite us.” If you have seen CapCut templates for this, this is the step where they ask you to pick clips — here you just upload two photos instead.
- Verify your email and pay once when checkout is open. $9.99, no subscription. If generation fails, retry at no extra cost or request a refund from your order. See the refund policy.

How long the Hotel Lobby AI render takes
Generation time depends on the provider queue and the extra work to match each person's mouth movements. The order page shows the current status.
Once a paid job starts, you can close the tab. The result appears under My videos, and a download notice is sent to your verified email when it is ready.
If the email is delayed, sign in or verify your purchase email to reopen your order.
Will your Hotel Lobby AI video look like you?
Clear photos give the model a better reference, but resemblance is not guaranteed. Use one front-facing adult per photo, in even light, without sunglasses or filters.
Low light, a face turned away or a small face inside a group makes the reference harder to use. Even with clear photos, AI can change facial details, expressions and movements.
The video at the top is a completed KickClap example made from the two photos beside it. It shows what the product can produce; it is not a preview of your own result.
Who this is for
Someone already came to mind while you were reading. That is who it is for.
It is the video you send instead of a text. The one that gets forwarded in the group chat, then forwarded again. Ten seconds is short enough that people watch it twice — and the second time is when they ask how you made it.
The things people actually ask
What is the Hotel Lobby AI trend?
The Hotel Lobby AI trend puts two new faces into Quavo and Takeoff’s orange-booth performance on A COLORS SHOW. It is a duet format — two people, one hanging microphone — and the joke is who you cast. There is no hotel involved; “Hotel Lobby” is the name of the 2022 song.
Is Hotel Lobby AI the same as the Migos AI trend?
Yes. “Migos AI,” “the Migos trend,” “AI rap duo” and “Hotel Lobby AI” all describe the same clips, so the same steps work for any of them. The song is “Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew)” by Quavo and Takeoff.
Is there a Hotel Lobby AI generator I can use with my own photos?
New purchases and video generation are currently closed. You can watch the completed example on this page. When creation is available, you can add two photos and choose portrait or landscape for your own orange-booth video. No prompt and no editing timeline.
Can I make it without a CapCut template?
When creation is available, this format works without a CapCut template. A CapCut or TikTok template gives you the timing and the sound, but you still edit clips yourself. Here the scene is fixed and you supply two photos.
How do I make a Hotel Lobby AI video?
When checkout is open, add two photos with one consenting adult in each. Choose portrait 9:16 or landscape 16:9, verify your email and pay once. The order page shows generation progress.
How much does it cost — and can I do it for free?
$9.99, paid once per video. There is no subscription and no credit pack: you are buying one render, not a plan. There is no free tier — rendering costs us per run, so one clear price is cheaper for you than ten credits where six go unused.
Do I need two photos, or can I use one photo of us together?
Two photos, one clear photo per person. If your only good photo shows both of you, crop it into two images first — one face per photo is what keeps two identities from blending into one. The two photos do not have to be taken together or even in the same year.
Do the photos need to be full body?
Chest-up or waist-up is enough — the template supplies the body and the movement. What matters is a front-facing face, even daylight, and no sunglasses. Full-body photos work too, and carry your outfit across more faithfully.
Can I put my pets in it?
Not in this format. Hotel Lobby is built for two people with one clear adult photo each — that two-person cast is the joke, and a pet breaks it. Pet versions of this trend exist; they are just a different template.
Who stands on the left?
The first photo takes the left spot, the second takes the right. The left performer leads and the right one reacts, so put the more expressive person first. You can swap them before you pay, not after.
What if it doesn’t look like us?
AI results can differ from the photos and the original meme. Clear single-person photos help, but cannot guarantee an exact likeness. Differences in appearance, movement or timing alone do not qualify for a refund; failed generations can be retried or submitted for a refund.
How long does it take, and how long is the video?
The output is ten seconds at 720p. Processing time varies with the provider queue and lip synchronization. Check your order for progress; the completed video appears under My videos.
What happens to my photos?
KickClap sends the photos and generated clips to its generation providers to make your video. We do not publish your private photos or results. Providers have their own retention and processing rules; see our privacy policy.
Download the finished video within 7 days after it is ready. After 7 days, the file may be deleted.
