Recommended Hardware & Requirements

The EventyBooth booth app runs on iPad, iPhone and Mac. What you need depends on the booth type you choose when you create an event.

Minimum software versions

iPad and iPhone: iPadOS or iOS 17.0 or later.
Mac: macOS 14.0 or later.

Which device runs which booth

iPad booth: an iPad.
DSLR booth: an iPad or a Mac, with the camera connected by USB. See Connect a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Mirror booth: a Mac only.
360 booth: an iPhone or iPad, using its own camera.
Virtual booth: no app or hardware. Guests open a link on their own phone.

If you open an event on a device that cannot run it, the start button tells you where to start it instead.

Internet connection

Captures are saved on the device first, then uploaded. If the connection drops, the app retries automatically when it is back online and every few minutes while uploads are waiting. Retries only happen while the app is open, or the next time you open it, so keep the app open until the queue is empty. Guests will not see photos in the online gallery until they have uploaded.

Wi-Fi is the most reliable option. A portable hotspot works if the venue has no guest Wi-Fi.

Permissions

The app asks for access to the camera and microphone, to save to your photo library, and to your local network, which it uses to find cameras and printers. It also uses your location so a fleet manager can see where each device is.

Printer (optional)
