Record a photo session
You have set up your event to allow each user (or user group) to take a few photos, with preparation event screens (e.g. 'Get ready' and 'Countdown) in between each photo. So your users will prepare and pose for each photo, perhaps choosing various physical props or altering the way they are arranged in the group.
Wouldn't it be good to be able to record a video of the photo session, so that as well capturing photos, RightBooth would also record a video of the complete photo capture process, covering the period of time starting from when the user is preparing for the first photo and ending after the final photo has been taken.
Well, starting from RightBooth version 7.12.9 you can now record the photo session and this article shows you how easy it is to do.
Please note that 'Recording the session' can only be done using a webcam.

To facilitate this, go to RightBooth Settings --> Cameras - Main camera, and tick 'Webcam' for recording videos, and tick 'DSLR' (or 'GoPro') for taking photos:
