This free tool prepares everything a Hotel Lobby AI video needs, privately in your browser: add two photos (left and right performer) and it draws a two-person orange-booth reference board (9:16 or 16:9 PNG) and writes a matching image-to-video prompt. Upload the board or both photos to the AI video model you use, paste the prompt, then add the trending sound on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. It doesn't render the video itself, and it doesn't use the original COLORS footage or audio. The trend re-casts Quavo and Takeoff's 2022 "HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)" performance on A COLORS SHOW.
How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video (3 steps)
- Make the inputs here. Add one clear, front-facing photo per performer (one subject per photo, eyes visible, no sunglasses or heavy filters). Photo 1 becomes the left performer and Photo 2 the right. Download the reference board and copy the prompt.
- Generate in an image-to-video model you already use. If your tool accepts two reference images, upload the two original photos. If it takes a single start image, upload the board. Paste the prompt and pick the same length and aspect ratio. Expect to try 2 or 3 generations; faces drift less in 5–10 second clips.
- Add the sound on the platform. Post the silent clip and pick the trending sound inside TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts rather than ripping the song into the file. The platform's licensed sound library is the safe way to use it.
What the Hotel Lobby trend is
The trend re-casts Quavo and Takeoff's June 2022 performance of “HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)” on A COLORS SHOW: two performers trade verses in a plain, brightly coloured studio around one hanging microphone. People swap in themselves and a friend, couples, pets or cartoon characters. It's also called the “Migos AI” trend because Quavo and Takeoff were two-thirds of Migos.
Why this page doesn't render the video itself
Realistic two-person video needs a paid video model running on a server. Many sites selling “Hotel Lobby generators” are wrappers that charge per clip, and some re-use the original performance footage or audio. This tool does the part you can do privately and for free (the reference board and the prompt) so you can use any video model you already have access to and keep your photos on your device.
Rules worth knowing
- Only use photos you have permission to use. Making a real person appear to perform without their consent can break platform rules, and in some places the law.
- Label it as AI when you post. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all ask creators to disclose realistic AI-generated video.
- Takeoff died in November 2022. Some viewers find AI re-creations of the original duo upsetting, so swapping in your own people is the friendlier version of the trend.
Frequently asked questions

Videos that put two people, pets or characters into a re-creation of Quavo and Takeoff's June 2022 "HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)" performance on A COLORS SHOW: two performers trading verses around one hanging mic in a plain orange studio.
Is this Hotel Lobby AI generator free?
Yes. Making the reference board and prompt is free with no sign-up, and your photos stay on your device. Rendering the final video happens in whichever AI video model you use, which may have its own limits or costs.
Why do I need two photos?
The original is a duet. Photo 1 becomes the left performer and Photo 2 the right. Use one clear, front-facing subject per photo.
Can I use pets?
Yes. Choose Two pets or A person + a pet; the prompt switches to animal-friendly motion (head bobs, swaying, paw gestures).
How do I add the Hotel Lobby song?
Post the silent clip and add the trending sound from the TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts sound library. That keeps the music licensed by the platform.
Why is it called the Migos AI trend?
Quavo and Takeoff were two of the three members of the rap group Migos.
Is it OK to use someone else's photo?
Only with their permission. Making a real person appear to perform without consent can break platform rules and, in some places, the law. Label AI videos when you post them.
