Your photo booth explained

This page is laid out exactly like the menu inside your photo booth. Click through it on the left — or search above for whatever word you see on the screen.

Where to find it: Overview

What is Boothy?

Boothy turns an ordinary computer into a full photo booth. Guests operate it themselves on the touchscreen — from the shutter through decorating to the print. You set the event up once and keep control at any time, without disturbing the running booth.

Boothy has three building blocks. Only the first one is strictly required — the other two are already included and can be switched on whenever you want them.

The booth (Boothy Desktop)

The program on the booth’s computer. It runs full screen, holds the entire guest flow and the admin area where you configure everything.

Boothy Beam (phone page)

The booth serves its own phone page. Guests scan a QR code and they are in: view photos, download them, like them, upload their own or trigger the booth remotely. No app, no sign-up.

Boothy Cloud (boothy.eu)

Your area in the browser. Manage licenses, plan events in advance, build templates and your own AI filters, and share finished galleries with your customers.

This documentation is laid out exactly like the menu in your booth. Whatever you see on the left there, you find on the left here, in the same place.

Good to know

The admin area

Display

The admin area is your booth’s settings screen — it holds everything described in this documentation.

  • ›You open it through a discreet icon in the top left of the start screen. If the icon is hidden, tap the top-left corner four times quickly instead.
  • ›The guest view keeps running in the background, so you can change something mid-event without restarting the booth.
  • ›Every change is saved automatically. There is deliberately no “Save” button.

Languages

Display

Boothy speaks German, English, French, Spanish and Italian — and the admin language is independent of the guest language.

  • ›So you can hand the booth to a French wedding party and keep configuring it in English.
  • ›Guests switch their own language with a dedicated button on the start screen.

Search inside the booth

Display

The booth itself has a search box at the top: type a term and it shows every matching setting from every menu item on a single page.

  • ›The fastest route when you know what you want to change but not where it lives.
  • ›It understands both English and German terms — just like the search on this page.

Premium features

DisplayPremium

Some features belong to the Premium license and carry a Premium marker in this documentation.

  • ›Without Premium you still see those menu items — they are simply locked and show a hint.
  • ›Affected are QR sharing, email delivery, stickers, the cloud gallery and the booth games, among others.
