What song is used in the Hotel Lobby AI trend?

The Hotel Lobby AI trend uses "Hotel Lobby" by Quavo and Takeoff, credited on the COLORS performance as Unc & Phew. The single came out on 20 May 2022 and was the lead single of their album Only Built for Infinity Links. On TikTok, tap the sound label of any Hotel Lobby post to use the same audio. The videosi clip is silent, so you add it where you post.

Which AI model makes the Hotel Lobby video, and what is the prompt?

The Hotel Lobby AI video on videosi is made with ByteDance's Seedance model (Seedance 2.0 Mini by default; Fast, Pro (Seedance 2.0) and Ultra (Seedance 2.5) are one click away), from your photos, a 15-second motion reference of a duo performance and a written prompt. Many tutorials use Seedance or Higgsfield. On videosi the prompt and the reference are built in.

How do I make the Hotel Lobby AI video with my pets?

On videosi, upload 1 photo of each pet, for example your cat in slot 1 and your dog in slot 2. Each pet keeps its breed, coat and markings and stands upright on its hind legs, rapping with its front paws under the mic. You can also mix 1 photo of you with 1 of your pet. Use sharp, full-body pet photos.

Can I make it with just one person, or myself twice?

Yes. The videosi Hotel Lobby AI video always has 2 performers, so upload the same photo of yourself in both slots and you appear twice as identical twins trading bars. A single photo of you and a friend side by side also works in the One photo together mode, the left person becoming the left rapper.

Why does my Hotel Lobby AI video not look like us?

The usual causes are tight face crops, sunglasses, dark or blurry photos, and group photos with more than 2 faces. For the videosi Hotel Lobby AI trend, use front-facing photos showing waist up, in even light, 1 person or pet per photo. Likeness is not guaranteed in a 15-second clip, and a failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.

Can I use photos of celebrities or of Quavo and Takeoff?

No. videosi does not accept photos of celebrities, public figures or minors, including the original performers; Takeoff died in November 2022 and fans have objected to AI reuse of his likeness. Use photos of yourself, adults who agreed to it, or your own pets. Users must be 18 or older, and photos and results are deleted within 30 days.

Is the Hotel Lobby AI trend still trending?

As of late October 2026 the Hotel Lobby AI trend is still being posted on TikTok, about 5 weeks after it took off around 19 September 2026, mostly as pet, couple and best-friend versions. The peak of new remakes was in late September; videosi will note on this page when it fades.

Can I make the Hotel Lobby AI video on my phone?

Yes. videosi runs in the phone browser, so there is no app to install. Open the Hotel Lobby AI page, add 2 photos from your camera roll (HEIC from an iPhone works), press Generate, and download the 15-second MP4 to post on TikTok, Reels or Shorts with the Hotel Lobby sound. The result also waits in My creations.

How it is made

The Hotel Lobby AI Trend prompt and model

Hotel Lobby AI Trend is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.

Model: Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
Mode: Photo + motion reference to video
Length: 15 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
Input: 2 photos

Identity lock Photo 1 is the only source for the left performer and photo 2 for the right one, a person or a pet, never swapped or blended.
Motion reference A real duo performance supplies the wide-then-two-shot cut, the timing and the hand and body rhythm, and nothing else.
Scene A seamless flat orange studio, a low stage block in the wide shot and one silver microphone hanging between the two.
Timeline Five beats over 15 seconds: wide shot, first bars, hands on the beat, the turn-away, face to face.
Rules Two performers only, the mic always between them, mouths moving in rhythm, no lyrics on screen, no logos, no slow motion.

How it opens

Photorealistic live-action music-performance footage, 15 seconds, studio session look, soft even key light, no camera shake. There are exactly two performers and both come from the photos.…

Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself

Without a motion reference the two stand still or dance at random instead of trading bars, and the wide-to-two-shot cut is lost.
The model drifts the orange wall into a lit room or adds a band and an audience unless the scene forbids them.
Two faces in one frame tend to blend or swap places unless each photo is locked to one side.
Pets fall back on four legs or turn half human without a rule for upright paws, and each failed try costs credits and minutes.

Generate and download

Add the Hotel Lobby sound and post

The clip is silent. In TikTok or CapCut, add the Hotel Lobby sound from the trend, line the first bar up with the cut at about 2 seconds, and turn on the AI-generated label.

What is the Hotel Lobby AI Trend trend?

Updated October 26, 2026 · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.

The Hotel Lobby AI trend is a short AI video of two characters performing as a rap duo in a bare orange studio. A silver microphone hangs between them, the camera opens wide on a low stage and then cuts to a waist-up two-shot, and the pair trade lines, point at the lens, turn away and spin back on the beat. The duo can be two friends, a couple, a person and their dog, or two cats.

It copies Quavo and Takeoff's performance of "Hotel Lobby" on A COLORS SHOW, recorded in 2022 under their Unc & Phew name; the song came out on 20 May 2022. AI remakes started spreading on TikTok around 19 September 2026, a cat version became one of the most liked posts on 24 September, and Quavo reposted the original performance the same week. Takeoff died in November 2022, and some fans have criticised versions that reuse his likeness, so this page never uses the original performers' faces: both characters come from your photos.

The videosi version is a silent 15-second clip. The model takes the cut timing, framing and the back-and-forth body rhythm from a reference performance and puts your two characters into the orange studio. It is a performance, not an exact lip-sync: you add the Hotel Lobby sound in TikTok or CapCut when you post, and the rapping gestures carry it.

You choose two photos (or one photo of you both) and the format. The studio, the microphone, the motion and the prompt are built in.

Hotel Lobby AI Trend: shot by shot

0–2 s
Wide on the stage
The two stand on a low stage block facing each other under the hanging mic, orange wall all around.
2–5 s
Two-shot, first bars
Cut to waist up. The right performer leans in and points at the lens while the left one nods.
5–9 s
Hands on the beat
Open-hand gestures and a bounce on every beat, the partner swaying at the mic.
9–13 s
Turn and take over
The right performer turns away, hand behind the head, and spins back; the left one leans in to the mic.
13–15 s
Face to face
Both trade gestures under the mic, ending with a finger to the lips.

Tips for a better result

Show each performer from the waist up
The video is mostly a waist-up two-shot with hand gestures, so a photo that shows shoulders, arms and outfit gives the model the whole look.
Clear face, even light
A sharp, front-facing face in daylight keeps each rapper recognisable when they turn away and spin back.
Pets: one animal, full body, looking up
A photo of the whole dog or cat with its markings visible works best; it is shown standing on its hind legs, so a sitting-up pose helps.
In a photo together, stand left and right
Keep both faces clear and side by side with nobody else in frame; the left person becomes the left rapper.

Good to know before you make a Hotel Lobby AI Trend video

The video is silent and is not an exact lip-sync of the song: mouths move in rhythm, and you add the Hotel Lobby audio where you post.
There are always exactly two performers in the orange studio; a photo with more faces can confuse it.
Hands and paws are where invented detail shows first, and likeness is not guaranteed in a 15-second clip. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
Use only photos of adults who agreed to it, or your own pets. Photos of celebrities, public figures, the original performers or minors are not accepted.
