Run with the template images or replace them with your own.

Audio1
Video1

Recreate @Video1 faithfully, replacing only the two performers: @InputImage1 replaces the person who starts on the left, and @InputImage2 replaces the person who starts on the right. Preserve each replacement character's appearance and clothing throughout. Match the original actions, gestures, expressions, lip movements, interactions, positions, and timing. Keep the same orange studio background, hanging microphone, framing, lighting, and shadows. Maintain the orange background throughout. Keep the camera fixed, with no camera movement, zooms, or cuts. Use @Audio1 as the only soundtrack.

Make your own Hotel Lobby AI video with two character photos and a ready-to-use video template. Replace the two performers while using the orange studio, hanging microphone, and original performance as references. The Einstein and Chaplin clip above is an example; you can upload a different pair.

What is the Hotel Lobby AI trend?

Hotel Lobby AI is the character-swap trend built around Quavo and Takeoff’s performance of “HOTEL LOBBY” on A COLORS SHOW. Two performers share a hanging microphone against a plain orange background. AI remixes put a different duo into that recognizable scene.

The original COLORS performance was published on June 17, 2022, with Quavo and Takeoff performing as Unc & Phew. “Hotel Lobby” is the song’s name; the orange set is a studio.

How did it become a viral AI video trend?

By September 2026, creators were sharing versions featuring celebrities, fictional duos, animals, and friends. XXL’s September 23 report documented the wave, including a Walter White and Jesse Pinkman remix. Quavo also reposted the original performance on September 23, as The Source reported.

A likely reason for its appeal is the combination of a recognizable scene and a surprising cast. The orange set makes each remix easy to recognize; an unexpected pairing supplies the joke. Two distinct roles give creators a simple starting point: choose who shares the microphone.

How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video from two photos

  1. Open the template. Select Use this workflow above and sign in when prompted.
  2. Replace both input images. In the Input section, hover over an image and choose Replace in its preview. The first input replaces the performer who starts on the left; the second replaces the performer on the right.
  3. Keep the supplied references. The workflow already includes the video, audio, and character-replacement prompt. You do not need to find the clip or write everything from scratch.
  4. Review the settings and credit cost. Keep the output at 15 seconds for this template, then select Run. Generation may take a few minutes.
  5. Review your result. Check both faces, clothing, movement, and the orange background. Open the original result to save your video, or adjust your inputs before trying another version.

Choose one clear subject per photo, with an unobstructed face and the clothing you want to retain. A full-body photo gives the model more information about the outfit and proportions. Avoid group shots where the intended person is ambiguous.

Why use Vhoo’s Hotel Lobby AI video generator?

Vhoo combines image generation, video generation, and reusable workflows. This Hotel Lobby AI video template packages two image inputs, the reference video, reference audio, and a prepared prompt together. You can preview the example before spending credits and replace the cast without rebuilding the setup.

Hotel Lobby AI prompt: copy and customize

This prompt uses the reference names in the workflow: @InputImage1 and @InputImage2 are your two character photos, @Video1 is the performance reference, and @Audio1 is the audio reference.

Recreate @Video1, replacing only the two performers. @InputImage1 replaces the person who starts on the left; @InputImage2 replaces the person who starts on the right. Preserve each character’s appearance and clothing. Match the original actions, expressions, interactions, positions, and timing. Keep the orange studio background, hanging microphone, framing, lighting, and shadows. Keep the camera fixed, with no movement, zooms, or cuts. Use @Audio1 as the only soundtrack.

Try a different duo or visual style

  • Friends or a couple: replace the two input photos and keep the base prompt.
  • Original cartoon characters: upload one image of each character, then add: “Preserve each character’s illustrated style while following the reference performance.”
  • A coordinated outfit: create the character images with the desired outfits first, then use those images as inputs. This keeps the video prompt focused on the performance.

For the closest match, change the cast first and leave the scene instructions intact. Changing the cast, setting, camera, and action together makes it harder to judge which change affected the result.

Before you generate

Will the movement match perfectly? The video reference guides the performance, but identity, gestures, and lip sync can vary between generations. Check the example and review your output before sharing.

Do I need my own reference video? This template already includes one. Start by replacing the two Input images; leave the generator’s references in place to make the same style of clip.

How much does it cost? The Run button shows the current credit cost. Review it after changing settings; each new generation uses credits.

Put your duo at the microphone

Pick two character photos and use the Hotel Lobby AI video template. Replace both inputs, review the credit cost, and run your version of the orange-studio performance.
