Face-swap video for corporate events.

What it's for

Most corporate event recaps are a folder of phone photos that nobody looks at. A face-swap video is the thing people actually send to each other on Monday morning. It's the "remember when we did this" moment that doesn't get lost in a Slack channel.

The most common use cases are holiday parties (Q4), team off-sites, and conference after-parties. The bot runs entirely inside Telegram, so there's no app install, no BYOD headache, and no IT review — attendees open the bot on their phone, send a selfie, get a clip.

What people make for corporate events

• The "team of the year" reel — every team member swapped into the rockstar scene, stitched into a 60-second year-end reel.
• The conference after-party opener — a single cinematic clip that plays on the screens at the after-party venue.
• The off-site "we did this" post — the morning-after post on the company Slack that the whole team reacts to.
• The sales kickoff moment — for Q1 kickoffs. A swap that gets shown at the all-hands as the "this team is ready" opener.
• The recruiting / employer-brand asset — a "this is what our team is like" reel for the careers page or LinkedIn. People in the reel need to have consented.

Real outputs from the bot

These are finished renders — no editing after.

How to run it at a corporate event

1. Email attendees a week before: "we're running a fun face-swap activity at the off-site — opt in by replying with your consent." Collect opt-ins.
2. At the event, set up a corner with a tablet or laptop open to the bot, with a coordinator walking people through the first render.
3. Each attendee sends their own selfie from their phone (or the coordinator's tablet) and picks a scene. The clip comes back in about 2 minutes.
4. Collect the clips at the end of the night, stitch them into a recap reel, share internally the next morning.

Tips for a smooth event run

• Send the opt-in email early — the week before, not the morning of. People who opt in on the spot are less likely to follow through.
• Have a coordinator, not a kiosk — the activity flows much better when someone walks people through the first render. After the first one, attendees can do it themselves.
• Match selfies to lighting — for the best results, take all the selfies in the same spot with the same lighting. A photo booth-style setup works well.
• Build the recap reel on-site — collect the clips during the event, do the edit on a laptop, play it at the after-party. The "we just did this" feeling is the whole point.

Common questions

Can we use a colleague's photo for a corporate event face-swap?

Only with their explicit consent. The bot requires the photo to be uploaded by the person whose face is being used, or with their clear written permission. Most teams send a pre-event email: "we'll be doing a fun face-swap activity — opt in by replying with consent."

Is Standin GDPR / privacy-compliant for corporate use?

Yes, with a few caveats. Standin keeps uploads and rendered outputs only as long as needed to deliver the result, then deletes them. For corporate use, you should still send a clear privacy notice to attendees before the event and collect opt-ins. The Privacy Policy has the full retention and deletion flow.

How does it work for a 50+ person corporate event?

Each person sends their own selfie via Telegram. The bot returns the rendered clip in about 2 minutes. For larger groups, run it as an opt-in activity at the event (a laptop or tablet at a designated corner), and have a coordinator help people through the first render.

Can we use the rendered videos in a company recap post?

Yes, as long as the people in the videos have consented. Paid renders have no watermark, so they're ready to drop into a company-wide recap, an internal newsletter, or a public social post.
