The countdown is the delay between a guest pressing the button and the photo being taken.
Note - Available on all plans.
Change it
-
Open your template in the template editor.
-
Select the Capture element — on the canvas, or from Layers.
-
Set Countdown seconds.
-
Save the template, then save the event.
Tip - Three seconds suits one or two people. Use 10 seconds for groups — people need time to arrange themselves, and a short countdown produces photos of everyone still moving.
Tip - Longer countdowns also help at loud events where guests do not hear the prompt straight away.
Test it
Run a Simulation test from the Launchpad and go through a capture.
Not the countdown you meant?
There is a second, unrelated countdown. Countdown length under Booth behavior on the START node controls how long a guest has to tap "I'm still here" before the booth resets to the beginning. That is the idle timeout, not the capture delay.
