Virtual Photo Booth Support

1. Open the virtual booth link in any internet browser. You can use a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone! (Google Chrome is the browser we recommend)

2.  The first time you visit the photo booth page (virtual.theselfiespot.com), it will ask for permission use your device’s camera, click/tap “Allow”.

3.  Choose your photo type and tap Capture to take your photo (or upload a photo).

4.  If you like your photo, click Approve. You will then be taken to a page to choose a background to appear behind you!

4.  Tap Email to send the photo to an email address. Or Text to receive the image to your smartphone. If you prefer to start over, just refresh the screen!

 Please note: your photo will only be saved to the event gallery if it’s Approved (see step 4) . Otherwise, it will not be stored!

Just tap the Back arrow at the top left of the screen or refresh the page, and you’ll be taken back to the start screen!

You’ll need to visit your event gallery or share your photo by email or text message to receive a downloadable version.

Each event has its own photo booth link. Only those with access to your unique link can take photos. Photos are stored in the event’s online gallery and/or shared with the event organizer. Your event organizer may or may not have chosen to share the event gallery with event attendees. 

After your photo/GIF is taken, you’ll be given the choice to Approve or Retake your photo. If you hit Approve, your photo will automatically be saved to your event’s gallery.  If you’d like to retake or discard a photo, just click Retake or refresh the screen. That photo will be automatically deleted permanently and there won’t be a way to retrieve it.

Your event organizer may or may not have chosen to display the photos from your virtual photo booth in an online gallery. If there is a photo gallery, it will either be available directly on the photo booth page or within 2 business days after the event at gallery.theselfiespot.com (unless other arrangements have been made). Please ask your event organizer for the gallery password, if there is one.

To have your photo removed from the event gallery, please send us a chat message or email us at support@theselfiespot.com. 

In your message, please include a direct link or a screenshot of the image to remove.

You’ll have to reset the camera permissions in your browser’s settings.

Click “virtual.theselfiespot.com” and select Allow

Safari:

Please ensure that there are no other programs or apps open that are accessing your device’s camera (e.g. Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, Microsoft Team, etc.). It’ll be best to close those programs or switch off the camera in those apps before attempting to launch the virtual photo booth.

You are always able to use the photo booth from a different device (i.e. smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc). Just paste the photo booth link in your browser. If you need the exact link, please contact us or ask your event host!
