- **0–2.5 s The booth:** A locked-off 4:3 shot in front of the flat orange wall. The right performer raps at the hanging mic with one arm stretched out at the camera; the left one stands calm, hands clasped.
- **2.5–5.5 s Counting the beat:** The right performer gestures with the rhythm, counting on their fingers; the left one rubs their hands and smiles.
- **5.5–8.5 s Into the mic:** The right performer leans in to the mic, rolls both hands outward and starts to turn away.
- **8.5–11.5 s The hand-off:** Back to the camera, one arm over the head, while the left performer takes over the verse.
- **11.5–14 s Face to face:** They turn to each other across the mic and trade the last lines.

## What is Hotel Lobby AI?

Hotel Lobby AI copies one of the most watched performances on the COLORS YouTube channel: Quavo and Takeoff rapping "Hotel Lobby" in front of a flat orange wall, sharing one microphone that hangs from the ceiling. Creators use AI to put other people or characters in the booth, and the orange wall alone tells viewers which trend it is.

This template follows the camera, the timing and the moves of a viral AI swap of the booth and puts your two people at the mic, with the trend sound. You add two photos, nothing else. Videos start at 10 credits.

## How the Hotel Lobby AI trend went viral

COLORS released the "Hotel Lobby" performance on 17 June 2022; Know Your Meme counts more than 121 million views since. In September 2026 AI swaps of the booth started to spread on TikTok: on 16 September @glorify_studio put two characters from Suits at the mic, and within days the booth was full of cats, cartoon characters, couples and coworkers.

Takeoff died in 2022, and some fans have asked people to keep their versions respectful. The template keeps the booth, the camera and the moves of the clip and puts your two people at the mic.

## Tips

- **Waist-up and facing forward** Both of you are framed from the thighs up and turn your heads a few times, so a front-facing photo with the whole face visible works best.
- **Not orange on orange** Plain clothes with one strong colour read best against the wall. An orange top disappears into it.
- **Pick your side** Photo 1 is on the left and takes over the verse; photo 2 is on the right and raps first. Swap them before you generate if you want the other part.
- **Ask your partner first** Use your own photo and one of someone who said yes. Never a stranger, a child or a public figure.

## FAQ

### What is the AI Hotel Lobby trend?

An AI video trend based on Quavo and Takeoff's COLORS performance of "Hotel Lobby": two people in front of a flat orange wall share one microphone that hangs from the ceiling. People swap in friends, partners, coworkers or characters. It took off on TikTok in mid to late September 2026.

### How do I make the Hotel Lobby AI video?

Upload one photo of each person on this page and press Generate. Photo 1 stands on the left, photo 2 on the right. In a few minutes you get a 14-second MP4 of you two in the orange booth, with the trend sound. No prompt to write.

### Who stands on the left and who on the right?

Photo 1 is the calm one on the left who takes over the verse halfway; photo 2 is on the right, raps at the mic first and turns their back to the camera. Swap the photos to change sides.

### Can we keep our own clothes?

Yes, by default you both perform in the clothes from your photos. Under Advanced you can pick "Outfit from the video" instead, which dresses you like the clip: the long white coat on the left, the orange hat and bare chest on the right.

### Is this the original COLORS video?

No. The AI makes a new 14-second take of the booth with your two people, following a viral AI swap of the scene. We do not use or host the COLORS recording.

### Can I use my pets or a cartoon character?

The template is made for two people. A cartoon or 3D character photo usually works and keeps its own style; pets may come out standing upright, so results vary. Never use a photo of a celebrity or a stranger.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. The MP4 comes with the audio of the trend clip, lined up from the first second, so you do not need to add a sound when you post.

### How long is the video and what format is it?

14 seconds, as a 4:3 MP4 like the trend clip, with the sound. Every version renders the whole clip.

No watermark, and failed renders are refunded automatically.

### Are my photos private?

Yes. Photos and videos are never published, shown to other users or used in our examples or marketing. The photos you upload are deleted 30 days after the video is made.
