Quick tip, remember to run Sparkbooth in fullscreen for a kiosk-like experience. Press the fullscreen button in the lower-right corner, or press F7 on your keyboard to make Sparkbooth fullscreen. This will keep your guest’s attention and focus on the photo booth, and not be distracted by your computer’s desktop. It is more user-friendly, and a better experience.
- Customize on-screen start, processing, and thank you messages. Great for customizing Sparkbooth for your event or language
- Option to ask user for name and/or email for “Save to disk only”. Information is saved to delimited text file along with photo filename. Useful for sending photos to guest after the event.
