To make the Hotel Lobby AI video with a friend, open the ready Hotel Lobby trend on vswp, add your photo for one rapper and your friend's photo for the other, and start the video. Both rappers are already found in the clip, so you don't film or upload anything. You can try a free preview first, and the finished MP4 keeps the original song.
What is the Hotel Lobby trend?
It starts from Quavo and Takeoff performing "Hotel Lobby" on A COLORS SHOW in 2022. The two rappers trade verses at one hanging microphone in front of a bright orange wall.
In September 2026 the clip became one of the most copied AI templates on TikTok and X. People put cats, TV characters, footballers and former presidents into the two rappers' places. Know Your Meme lists it as the Quavo "Hotel Lobby" AI trend, and Quavo reposted the original on X on September 23.
With exactly two people in it, the scene is made for a pair: you take one place, your friend takes the other.
How do you make your own version?
- Get two photos. One of you and one of your friend, one person per photo. Ask your friend before you use theirs.
- Open the trend. Go to the Hotel Lobby trend page. The clip is about 29 seconds, with both rappers already found.
- Sign in with Telegram. There's no password to create.
- Add the photos. Put your photo on one rapper and your friend's on the other. A rapper without a photo stays as in the original.
- Choose the look. With "Keep the original look" on, the outfits stay as in the video and only faces and hair change. With it off, the clothes come from your photos.
- Check the price and start. Try the free preview first, or go straight to the full video.
- Download the MP4. It keeps the original sound and is ready in minutes.

Can you replace just one of the rappers?
Yes. Add a photo for only the rapper you want to replace, and the other stays as in the original. It's the quickest way to make a Quavo and Takeoff AI video with yourself in it, sharing the mic with one of them.
Which photos work best?
Pick each photo with care:
- One person per photo. Crop a group shot down to just your friend.
- Sharp and well lit. Daylight or a bright room beats a dark, blurry snapshot.
- Face clearly visible. No sunglasses, hands or hair covering it.
- Full body for clothes. A full-body photo carries clothes best. If you only have a portrait, leave "Keep the original look" on so the rappers' outfits stay.

How much does it cost?
You can start for free: the preview is about 5 seconds of your video at 480p, with a small "vswp.app" mark. The full video is paid with Telegram Stars, and your first paid video is 50% off. The price depends on the length, the quality and the number of people you replace, and it's shown before you start.
Every user also has an invite link: send yours to your friend, and when they first top up, you both get bonus Stars.
Ready? Open the Hotel Lobby trend, add both photos and start with the preview.
FAQ
Is the Hotel Lobby AI video free?
The preview is free. The full video is paid with Telegram Stars, and your first one is 50% off.
Can I use a photo of my pet?
No. Many Hotel Lobby versions online star cats, but vswp replaces people, so use photos of people: you, a friend, or both.
Do I need my friend's permission?
Yes. Use only photos you have the right to use, and ask your friend before you put their face in the video. See face swap consent and safety.
Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
Yes, if your friend agrees. An AI label is a good idea: vswp uses generative AI, not frame-exact editing, and a label tells viewers the video is generated. The original song stays in the video, so check the platform's rules and think about who will see it.
