PreFlight Check

The PreFlight screen serves as your final dashboard to verify the status of your hardware, system settings, and environment. Before you start your event, use this screen to confirm that everything is configured correctly so your booth runs reliably.


Devices

The Devices section displays all connected or available hardware.

Used to connect a DSLR camera (available on the Core plan and up).

Shows the status of the iPad’s built-in microphone or allows you to connect a Bluetooth microphone for video captures.

Displays your connected printer status. If a printer is connected, it will show as "Ready."

You can also use this section to switch between available printers on your network.


Status Cards

Status cards provide a real-time overview of your iPad's health and key event settings. These cards are organized into two categories and will move between sections automatically as their status changes:

  • May Need Attention: Items that require changes or configuration before the event begins.

  • More Info: Items that are set up correctly and ready to go.

Understanding the Cards

Appears under May Need Attention when AI effects are enabled but booth mode previews are missing. You can generate previews directly from the PreFlight check.

The AI Effect Preview card will completely disable when previews are already generated.


Ready to Launch

Once you have reviewed the PreFlight dashboard and addressed any items in the "May Need Attention" section, you are ready to begin. While some items in the dashboard may not strictly block you from starting, ensuring everything is green will prevent interruptions during your event.

When you are satisfied with your setup, tap Launch to transition the app into the participant-facing booth mode.
