What Are Event Types?

Fiesta supports four event types: iPad, DSLR, 360, and Virtual.

The event type determines which booth hardware is used, how guests interact with the event, and which features are available during setup and capture.

What To Know
In-Person Events

In-Person Events include iPad Events, DSLR Events, and 360 Events. These event types use physical booth hardware that guests interact with during capture.

• iPad Event
  Salsa 1 and Salsa 2 Photo Booths use an iPad as both the guest-facing interface and the camera for capture. This event type is typically simpler to set up because the iPad handles both interaction and media capture.
• DSLR Event
  Guac uses an iPad as the guest-facing interface and a DSLR camera for capture. This event type provides more control over image quality and camera settings, but requires more setup than an iPad Event.
  
  Note: A Guac setup is required to run a DSLR Event in Fiesta. Salsa Booth and third-party photo booths do not support Fiesta DSLR Events. Learn more about Guac & Chips
• 360 Event
  Tortilla uses an iPhone as both the guest-facing interface and the camera for 360 video capture. This event type supports a single capture format and has a setup flow similar to an iPad Event.

Note: In-Person and Virtual Events must be created and run as separate events. No single event can be set as an In-Person Event and Virtual Event at the same time.

What To Know
Virtual Events

A Virtual Event allows guests to join from their own phones, tablets, or computers. Their personal device acts as both the interface they interact with and the camera used to capture media during the event.

Note: In-Person and Virtual Events must be created and run as separate events. A single event cannot be configured as both an In-Person Event and a Virtual Event at the same time.

Note: Virtual Events require a Fiesta Pro subscription and are not available on Fiesta Plus.

What To Know
FAQ

Can an event be set to run multiple event types at the same time?

• No. An event can only use one Event Type at a time.

I selected the wrong event type! Can I change it after I set it up?

• Yes. The Event Type can be updated after the event has been created.
• Here are the steps to update the Event Type after an event has been created.

What are the differences between event types?

• All Event Types share some core settings, but each one also includes features and setup requirements that are specific to that event type.
• Examples include capture mode differences between iPad and 360 Events, and sharing differences between Virtual and In-Person Events.

Can I run a Virtual Event on a booth?

• No. Virtual Events do not include a Start Event option in the Fiesta iOS App and are accessed through the Virtual Booth event link instead.
