Returning To Settings
How you return to your settings depends on whether you have launched your booth in Test Mode or Booth Mode.
Returning from Test Mode
If you launched in Test Mode, getting back to your configuration is quick and easy. Test Mode is ideal for reviewing layouts, camera behavior, or general setup before guests arrive.
When launching your preset, choose Test instead of Launch.
After the booth loads, a Return to Settings button will appear on the "Tap to Start" screen.
Tap this button to go directly back to your preset settings.
Returning from Booth Mode
Once you have launched into Booth Mode, access to settings is intentionally restricted to prevent guests from accidentally exiting the experience. There are two ways to return to the app's internal dashboard.
This option allows you to return to settings without closing the app. This gesture is designed to be subtle so guests do not discover it.
Ensure the booth is resting on the "Tap to Start" screen.
Place two fingers side-by-side on the screen.
Slowly slide your fingers away from each other (a "pinch out" gesture).
Mission Control will appear, displaying booth status details.
Tap the button on the left side to return to settings.
Security Tip
For added security at public events, we strongly recommend enabling an iPad passcode or Face ID to prevent unauthorized access to your iPad's system settings.
Use this option if Mission Control is not responding or if you prefer to reset the app's state.
Disable Guided Access if it is currently active.
Force quit the HALO app using the iPad's app switcher.
Reopen the HALO app.
You will return to your preset list, where you can make changes before launching again.
Customizing HALO Online
You can also adjust many of your settings remotely via your online dashboard.
Changes made online will sync automatically as long as the iPad is connected to the internet and your HALO app is up to date.
In Settings: If you are currently viewing the app's preset settings, pull down on the screen to refresh and manually fetch online updates.
During an Event: If the booth is already running in Test or Booth Mode, syncing usually occurs after a session or two, depending on your network strength.
