Build Your Booth Experience

Now for the fun part: designing what your guests see and do! This step covers customizing everything from the photo appearance to how to navigate your settings.


Where to Customize

Event settings can be edited from two different locations:

  • In your online dashboard on any computer.

  • In the HALO app on your iPad.

Your changes sync between the two, so you can start on your computer and fine-tune or make last-minute changes on the iPad.


Every photo your booth captures is created using a preset and sent to a connected gallery. These two pieces work together, but they serve different roles.

  1. Create a preset: Presets control the booth-side experience, including photo appearance, editing tools available to participants, and things like data capture (Pro & Select plans only).

  2. Pair a gallery: your gallery stores your event photos and lets guests save and share their photos on social media. is the online collection where your event photos are saved, and where guests can share to social media.

In most circumstances, you will want to set up a brand new preset & gallery for each of your events or activations. Learn more.


Customize the Look and Experience

  • Use the layout designer to design how your photos will look.

  • Use the experience designer to set up what guests see before, during, and after capturing their photo, including start screens, capture settings, effects, and sharing.

  • Use the gallery designer to customize the online gallery's privacy, appearance, and the Live Feed slideshow tool.
