The funniest videos to make with friends are the ones where the people you know show up somewhere they could never be: a famous meme, a movie scene, a dance they would never learn. With AI you don't need to film any of it. In [vswp](/), you pick a video, give each person in it a friend's photo, and get a new clip where your friends play the parts while the moves, camera and sound stay as in the original.

## What makes a video with friends funny?

Most good ideas use one of three tricks:

- **The wrong person in a famous moment.** Your quietest friend doing the loudest meme, or your group chat's planner as the action hero.
- **An inside joke made visible.** A clip that matches a story only your group knows, like the friend who always dances on tables.
- **Everyone together in a scene that needs a cast.** A band, a car full of people, a gang walking in slow motion.

The joke lands best when the original is something your friends recognize in the first second.

## Ideas for two friends

Duos are the easiest to get right: two people, both large in the frame.

- **The odd couple in suits.** Two people making a beat in a white studio, one at the keyboard and one giving orders. See [the two guys in suits making a beat guide](/guides/two-guys-in-suits-making-a-beat-ai/).
- **Singing in the car.** Two friends in the front seats belting out a song at night, as in the [White Chicks "A Thousand Miles" video](/guides/white-chicks-ai-video/).
- **A fake romance.** Put two friends (who are in on the joke) into a dramatic movie scene. Our [couple video guide](/guides/couple-video-with-ai/) covers how to pick one.
## Ideas for one friend, made by the group

Sometimes the funniest video stars just one person, and the rest of you are the audience.

- **The meme reaction.** Put the friend who gets worked up the most into a short, loud meme like [Crazy Pasha WAAA](/guides/crazy-pasha-waaa-meme-ai/).
- **The party king.** The friend who is always first on the dance floor, now dancing on a table in front of a crowd, as in [the Party King trend](/guides/party-king-table-dance-ai/).
- **The birthday star.** Make the birthday person the hero of their favorite clip. Our [birthday video guide](/guides/birthday-video-with-a-friends-face/) has the steps.

## Ideas for three or more friends

Group videos need a clip where everyone you replace is clearly visible.

- **The gas station dance.** Three dancers at a gas station, a natural fit for a trio. See [the gas station dance guide](/guides/gas-station-dance-ai-video/).
- **The squad walk.** A confident walk with friends behind the leader, as in the [Sasha Sergeev 90s video](/guides/sasha-sergeev-90s-ai-video/), where up to three people walk with Sasha.
- **The movie cast.** A dinner table, a heist crew or a band where each seat goes to someone from your group.

Up to six friends fit in one video. [How to swap a whole group of friends into one video](/guides/swap-a-group-of-friends/) explains how to assign roles without mixing them up.

## Ideas from your own videos

You can also upload your own clip, 1 to 120 seconds and up to 150 MB. Some ideas:

- **Swap who did what.** Take a video of one friend's dance or speech and put another friend's face on it.
- **Recast a family clip.** An old holiday video, with cousins playing each other.
- **Replay the big moment.** A friend's goal celebration or karaoke solo, now starring the friend who swore they could do it better.

Use only videos you have the right to use, such as clips you filmed yourself.

## How to make one, step by step

1. **Pick the idea and the clip.** Browse [Trends](/trend/), where the people are already found, or upload your own.
2. **Collect photos.** One sharp photo of each friend, just them, in JPEG, PNG or WebP. Ask each friend first.
3. **Sign in.** Open [vswp.app](/) and sign in with Telegram. Your friends don't need an account.
4. **Assign the photos.** Put each friend's photo on the card of the person they should play. Anyone without a photo stays as in the original.
5. **Choose the look.** Turn "Keep the original look" on to keep the costumes from the video and change only faces and hair, or off to take clothes and hair from the photos (full-body photos work best then).
6. **Start.** Choose 480p or 720p, check the price and the estimated time, and press "Create video".

## What works and what doesn't?

| Easier to get funny | Harder to get right |
|---|---|
| Two to six people, large in the frame | Crowds where your friends are tiny |
| Faces visible most of the time | Faces covered by hands, hats or props |
| A steady or slow camera | Very fast camera moves |
| A short clip with one clear punchline | A long scene that needs context |

This is generative AI, not frame-exact editing. Likeness, hands and fast motion can need another take, and pressing "Create video" again makes a new take, which is a new render. If someone doesn't look like themselves, [this guide on fixing likeness](/guides/ai-face-swap-does-not-look-like-you/) helps.

## What does it cost?

Prices are in Telegram Stars (⭐) and depend on the length, the quality and the number of people you replace. The exact price is shown before you start, and Stars come back automatically if a render fails or is canceled. Every new user can start with a short free preview at 480p with a small vswp.app mark, which is a good way to check the cast before the full video.

## Keep it fun for everyone

A joke works when the person in it laughs too. Ask before you use a friend's photo, show them the result, and ask again before posting it where strangers will see it. Skip anything that could embarrass, mislead or hurt someone. By pressing "Create video", you confirm you have the right to use the video and the photos.

## FAQ

### How many friends can be in one video?

Up to six. A video can use up to 6 different photos, and everyone without a photo stays as in the original.

### Do we need to film anything?

No. You pick a video from Trends or upload one you already have, and the AI puts your friends into it from their photos.

### Will the music and voices stay?

Yes. The result keeps the original audio of the part you processed, up to 30 seconds.

### What if one friend comes out wrong?

Try a sharper photo of just them or a part where their character is larger, then press "Create video" again for a new take.

### Can I use a friend's photo without asking?

No. Ask first, and ask again before posting publicly. Rules differ by country, and this is not legal advice, but consent is the simple rule everywhere.
