Video booths at company events

A video booth invites guests to record a short clip: a message for a retiring colleague, a reaction to a product launch or a greeting for the company's anniversary. Done well, it gives you content that sounds like your people, not like your marketing team.

Choose the format

Some booths record a single message. Others use slow motion, multiple angles or a prompt on a screen. The best format is the one that suits the moment: a quiet message booth suits a farewell, a lively slow-motion booth suits a party.

Set-up details that matter

• A quiet corner so sound is clear.
• Good, even lighting on the face.
• A simple prompt so guests know what to say.
• A host who invites people in and keeps the line moving.

Handling the content afterwards

Decide early who receives the clips, how guests can ask for theirs to be removed and how long files are kept.
