Quick answer
Yes, Hotel Lobby Video (hotel-lobby-video.com) accepts baby photos for the Hotel Lobby AI trend when a parent or guardian consents. Upload a clear photo of the baby and one of yourself (left raps, right hypes) and stay on Wan 3.0. Before the video is made, each photo is redrawn as a studio portrait that is instructed to keep a baby’s age and proportions, so the baby keeps its own face. 12 seconds at 480p costs 6 credits (packs from 10 credits for $9.99, no subscription, no free preview), usually ready in about 5 to 15 minutes. TikTok bans AI content showing anyone under 18, so share it in family chats instead.

Short answer first
Can I do the Hotel Lobby AI trend with a baby photo?
Yes. The baby version is one of the most requested takes on the trend: a tiny rapper at the hanging mic with a parent hyping next to them. Hotel Lobby Video accepts baby photos when a parent or guardian agrees, either as one of the two photos or together with you in a single photo of you both.
Wan 3.0 never animates your photo directly. First it redraws each one as a full-length studio portrait of the same person, instructed to keep the face, age and body proportions, and for a baby specifically not to make them older. The video model then places those two portraits in the booth. You only ever see your own photos; the portraits stay on the server.
Early in the trend the booth routine came from the original COLORS footage, and models working from it tended to swap small faces for the two famous ones. Since October 3, 2026 the routine is performed by two AI stand-ins with no famous faces, which removes that pull and lets the baby stay the baby.
Can I put the baby video on TikTok?
No. TikTok’s rules do not allow AI-generated content showing anyone under 18 (TikTok). Keep the clip for family chats, a message to the grandparents or platforms whose rules allow it, and mark it as AI-generated wherever it goes.
Photo to family chat
Making a Hotel Lobby AI video of your baby
- 01
Choose a sharp baby photo
Face in focus and well lit, nothing covering it, ideally the baby on their own. A photo with you in it also works if you switch to One photo.
- 02
Pick the rapper
The left photo raps into the mic and the right photo hypes. Put the baby on the left for the tiny-rapper version.
- 03
Create and send it privately
12 seconds at 480p is 6 credits. Save the MP4, which plays the original Hotel Lobby song with no watermark, and share it with the family.

Baby photo checklist
- Face in focus, evenly lit, turned towards the camera.
- Mouth uncovered: a dummy or a hand hides the lips the video needs to animate.
- The baby alone in the frame, or well apart from anyone else.
- A photo you took or may use, of a baby whose parent or guardian agreed.

Can I use my baby’s photo for the Hotel Lobby AI trend?
Yes, with a parent or guardian’s consent. Our terms do not allow photos of anyone under 18 without it.
I only have one photo of me holding the baby. Can I use that?
Yes. Switch to One photo and upload it; the picture is split into a portrait of each person. The person on the left raps, so check who is on which side.
Will the baby still look like my baby?
That is what the setup is designed for: the routine has no famous faces to copy, and the baby’s portrait is drawn from your photo. AI can still change details, so a sharp, front-facing photo gives the closest match.
Will the AI make my baby look older?
The portrait step is told to keep a baby’s age and proportions and never to age them up. How a baby holds the pose during the routine can vary.
Can I post the baby video on TikTok or Instagram?
Not on TikTok, which bans AI content showing anyone under 18. Check each platform’s rules, keep it to family chats where in doubt, and label it as AI-generated.
Can two babies or twins be in one video?
Yes, two babies can share the booth, one per photo. Twins who look very alike are harder for any AI to keep apart, so use photos where each face is clear.
What happens to the baby’s photo afterwards?
Photos are deleted 7 days after the video finishes. The video stays in your account until you delete it. Details are in the privacy policy.
How much is a baby video?
The same as any other: 6 credits for 12 seconds at 480p. Packs start at 10 credits for $9.99, there is no subscription or free preview, and failed renders refund automatically.
Can the baby “say” a message I record?
Yes, on Wan 3.0: upload 2 to 15 seconds of audio as your own song and the left performer lip-syncs it.
