Hotel Lobby Trend With Your Dog or Cat: A Step-by-Step Guide
RapVideo TeamYes, your dog or cat can star in the Hotel Lobby trend. Learn which photos work, who takes the mic, what it costs, and how to post the AI rap video.
Short answer: Yes, you can do the Hotel Lobby trend with a dog or cat. Upload one clear photo of your pet and one of a person (or one photo of both), pick the Lobby Booth stage, and make a 12-second vertical AI rap video. It costs 6 credits at 480p or 10 at 720p.
Can pets really do the Hotel Lobby trend?
They can, and the format suits them. The look is a warm orange wall and one hanging mic, which makes any pair of faces feel like a deadpan music moment. A dog staring at the mic is funnier than most scripted jokes.
RapVideo has a dedicated pet rap video page. For the standard look, go to Hotel Lobby AI.
How do I make it, step by step?
- Open the tool in your browser. There is no app to install and no account needed.
- Add two photos: one per subject, or one photo that shows both. The left subject is the lead who raps; the right is the hype.
- Choose the Lobby Booth stage for the classic orange wall.
- Pick a sound: AI verse, your lyrics, or beat only.
- Check the credits on the button and make the video.
- Wait about 2 to 5 minutes, then download the MP4.
Which sound should I pick for a pet?
| Sound | Best for |
|---|---|
| AI verse | A topic up to 120 characters, such as "my dog stole a sandwich"; the AI writes a clean rap. |
| Your lyrics | Up to 300 characters of your own bars, performed by the lead. |
| Beat only | An original instrumental while the duo vibes. Often the funniest for pets. |
Beat only is a good first try because the pair simply vibes to the music and there is nothing to mismatch.
Which photos work for a pet?
- A sharp, front-facing photo where the eyes are visible.
- Good light. Daylight near a window beats a dark living room.
- One animal per photo if you can. Crowded photos confuse who is who.
- Head and shoulders, or a sitting pose, for the lead.
Fluffy faces, dark fur and sunglasses on the pet can all blur details, so a clean photo helps. Our guide to the best photos for AI rap videos has more on framing.
Who takes the mic?
The left subject is the lead. If you want your dog to rap, put the dog on the left. If you would rather be the rapper while your cat judges you, swap them. Some pages offer a "both rap" option; otherwise the right subject plays hype.
What does it cost?
A rap video is 12 seconds. Credits never expire, and there is no free preview.
| Quality | Credits |
|---|---|
| Standard (480p) | 6 |
| HD (720p) | 10 |
Packs start with Single: 10 credits for $9.99. You can check everything on the pricing page. If a render fails or is blocked, its credits come back automatically.
Posting it
Download the MP4 (no watermark) and post it as a 9:16 clip on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Add a trending sound inside the app; RapVideo never uses the original Hotel Lobby track.
Some platforms ask you to label AI-generated content. Read does TikTok allow AI videos before you post.
Is it safe to upload photos?
Photos are used only to make the video and are never shown publicly. Uploads pass an automated NSFW check. Only upload people who agreed, and get a parent or guardian's consent for anyone under 18.
Tips for a funnier pet video
- Give the pet the left spot if you want the dog or cat to be the star.
- Keep the caption short and deadpan, such as "he has opinions".
- Try two stages with the same photos and post the one that lands better.
- Wait a few minutes after you press make; renders usually take about 2 to 5 minutes, and you can leave the page.
