Hotel Lobby AI with a baby photo is allowed here when a parent or guardian agrees. Upload the baby’s portrait next to yours and the little one takes the original Hotel Lobby verse at the single mic while you do the ad-libs, or you swap parts.
- Baby photos welcome

Quick answer
Yes. Hotel Lobby Video (hotel-lobby-video.app) lets you make the Hotel Lobby AI trend with a baby photo, as long as a parent or guardian agrees. Add a clear portrait of the baby and one of yourself (left slot raps, right slot reacts) and keep Wan 3.0. Each photo is redrawn first as a studio portrait instructed to keep a baby’s age and proportions, and in our two paid tests the baby kept its own face. 12 seconds at 480p costs 6 credits; packs start at 10 credits for $9.99, with no subscription and no free preview, and most takes are done in about 5 to 15 minutes. TikTok bans AI content that shows under-18s, so share it in family chats.

Quick answer
Can I do the Hotel Lobby AI trend with a baby photo?
Yes, and it is one of the most requested versions: a tiny rapper at the mic and a proud parent doing ad-libs beside them. Hotel Lobby Video accepts baby photos when a parent or guardian consents, either as one of two portraits or in a single shot with you holding the baby.
There is a history here. At launch the studio copied the original COLORS footage, and babies were often swapped out for the two performers. Since October 3, 2026 the routine is danced by two AI stand-ins instead, and in our paid tests after that switch the baby kept its own face in a wide 16:9 take and in a vertical one.
Behind the scenes, Wan 3.0 does not use your photo directly. Each one is first redrawn as a full-length studio portrait of the same person, told to keep the face, age and body proportions and, for a baby, not to age it up. The video model then places those portraits on the orange set. The portraits stay on our side; you only see your own photos.
Can I share a baby take on TikTok?
No. TikTok bans AI-generated content that shows anyone under 18 (TikTok). Send it to the family group chat, to the grandparents, or to places whose rules allow it, and say it is AI-made wherever it goes.
Session plan
Making a Hotel Lobby AI video of your baby
01Choose a sharp baby photo
Face in focus and well lit, nothing covering it, ideally the baby on their own. A photo of you holding the baby works too, with the One photo option.
02Cast the verse
The left slot raps into the mic and the right slot reacts. Put the baby on the left if you want the tiny-rapper version.
03Run the take, share it privately
12 seconds at 480p is 6 credits. The MP4 plays the original Hotel Lobby song, carries no watermark, and is ready to send to the family.

Baby duets worth making
First birthday reveal
A short take to play on the TV at the party or drop in the family chat.
Across the generations
A newborn and a great-grandparent, photos taken eighty years apart, sharing one set.
A recorded message
Record a hello for the grandparents and upload it as your own song: the left performer mouths it.
Getting a good baby photo
- A sharp face in soft light, turned towards the lens.
- An uncovered mouth: a dummy, a bottle or a hand hides the lips the take needs to animate.
- The baby alone, or clearly separated from anyone else in the frame.
- Your own photo, or one you may use, of a baby whose parent or guardian agreed.

Around the web
Hotel Lobby Clips by Other Creators
These clips show the format. Other people made them with other tools, and each one is credited and linked to its post. They are not output from Hotel Lobby Video.
Is it allowed to put my baby in a Hotel Lobby AI video?
Yes, with the consent of the baby’s parent or guardian. Our terms do not allow photos of anyone under 18 without that consent.
I only have one photo of me holding my son, taken on my phone. Will that do?
Yes. Switch to One photo and upload it. The picture is split into a portrait of each of you, so the baby and you appear as two performers.
Will it still look like my baby?
In our two paid tests since October 3, 2026, yes: the baby kept its face on the set. That is not guaranteed for every photo; a sharp, front-on shot gives the closest match.
Could the AI turn my baby into a toddler or an adult?
The portrait step is told to keep a baby’s age and proportions and not to age it up. How naturally the baby holds the pose varies from take to take.
Twins, or two babies together?
Two babies worked in one of our paid tests on October 4, 2026, in a vertical take, and both kept their own faces. We have not tried identical twins.
Why can’t I post it on TikTok?
TikTok does not allow AI content showing anyone under 18. Share it with family instead and label it as AI-made.
How long do you keep my baby’s photo?
Photos are deleted 7 days after the take finishes. The finished video stays in your account until you remove it. Details in our privacy policy.
What does a baby take cost?
The same as any take: 6 credits for 12 seconds at 480p. Packs start at 10 credits for $9.99, there is no subscription or free preview, and a failed take refunds itself.
Can the baby perform 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.
