To make the Party King video, open the Party King trend on vswp, add one photo of the person you want on the table and start. The dancer is already found in the 17-second clip, so there's nothing to film. The crowd, the string lights, the moves and the sound stay as in the original, you can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes.
What is the Party King video?
It's a phone video from a night party: a grey-haired man in a beige suit and orange glasses climbs onto a table and dances like he owns the place, while everyone around him films him on their phones. In early October 2026 it went around Instagram as the example of swapping one dancer with AI while the crowd stays the same, and that's what you do with it here.
The fun is entirely in who ends up on that table.
Who should be the Party King?
- Your dad, for his birthday. The man who never dances, suddenly the star of the night. Send it to the family chat.
- The boss, for the office party. With their permission, it makes the best slide of the year.
- The groom, for the bachelor party. Or the friend who always says "I don't dance".
- Yourself. No explanation needed.
Anyone works, whatever they look like. A woman's photo can take his place too: she keeps her own hair from the photo.
How do you make your own version?
- Ask first. You'll put someone's face on a viral video, so make sure they're in on the joke.
- Open the trend. Go to the Party King trend page.
- Sign in with Telegram. There's no password to create.
- Add the photo. Put it on the dancer's card. The crowd stays as filmed.
- Choose the look. With "Keep the original look" on, the beige suit, white shirt and glasses stay and only the face and hair change. With it off, the clothes come from your photo.
- Try the free preview. Press "Make the free preview" to see about 5 seconds, at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark.
- Make the full video. Check the price and press "Create the full video", at 480p or 720p.
- Download the MP4. It keeps the original sound. On a phone you can share it straight to Telegram or your stories.

Which photo works best?
A clear face, because the camera is far. The dancer is a few meters from the phone that filmed him, so his face is small in the frame. A sharp, front-facing photo in good light, with nothing covering the face, gives the AI the most to work with.
The suit or your own clothes. The beige suit is half the joke, so most people keep "Keep the original look" on. If you want your own outfit instead, use a full-body photo of one person.
Glasses stay. If the photo shows glasses, they're kept in every shot. Without glasses in the photo and with the original look on, the orange ones from the video usually stay.
More tips are in which photos work best for an AI video swap.
What can go wrong, and how do you fix it?
- Blurry hands. The arm moves are quick and high above the crowd, which is hard for any AI video. Another take often fixes it.
- The face doesn't look like them. Use a photo where the face is large, sharp and front-facing. See what to do if the face doesn't look like you.
- Someone in the crowd changed. The trend replaces only the dancer; if a face in the crowd looks off, make another take.
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 in Telegram Stars. The price depends on the length and the quality, and you see it before you start. If a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back.
FAQ
How do I make the Party King video for a birthday?
Open the Party King trend, add a photo of the birthday person to the dancer and start. Try the free preview first to see their face on the table.
Can I put several friends on the table?
The clip has one dancer, so each video holds one person. Make one for each friend and post them together.
Can a woman be the Party King?
Yes. Put her photo on the dancer's card: she dances in his place with her own face and hair.
Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
Yes, if the person in it agrees. Add an AI label: rules on labeling generated videos are spreading, including the EU AI Act's transparency rules for deepfakes from August 2026, and they differ by country, so this isn't legal advice.
