Launching Your Booth
This article covers how to sign into the HALO app, navigate your settings, and launch your booth for an event. When you launch, the app will guide you through a Preflight Check to confirm everything is ready before the booth starts.
Sign into the HALO app
Simple Booth offers multiple app versions. Your preset settings will only work with the HALO app, so make sure you’re using HALO, not Classic.
Sign in using your Simple Booth account credentials.
In-app Navigation
After signing in, you’ll land on your Preset List.
At the top of the screen, you’ll also see tabs for:
Galleries
Offline Queue
AI Effects
To run your booth at an event, you’ll launch a preset.
Ways to Launch your Booth
You can launch your preset in two ways, depending on whether you need to review settings first.
Swipe left on a preset in the Preset List, then tap the blue rocket icon.
This option:
Is ideal when your settings are already configured and synced
Takes you directly to the Preflight Check screen
Tap a preset to open and review its in-app settings.
When you’re ready, tap the blue Launch button in the top-right corner.
You can also launch a preset remotely from the Devices page in your dashboard. All required permissions must already be granted in the HALO app to launch remotely.
PreFlight Check
No matter how you launch, you’ll be taken to the PreFlight Check screen. This step confirms required permissions and highlights anything that may need attention before the booth can start.
Select a Launch Mode
After completing the Preflight Check, you can launch your booth in Test Mode or Booth Mode.
Test Mode is designed for setup and review before your event.
A Return to Settings button appears in the top-left corner of the Tap to Start screen.
A Launch button appears in the top-right corner, allowing you to switch directly to Booth Mode.
Booth Mode is designed for live events.
No buttons are available to return to settings.
This works together with Guided Access to prevent guests from exiting the app or accessing your settings during an event.
If you need to go back to your preset settings after launching Booth Mode, follow the steps in the Returning to Settings article.
