When to Use

  • After FMX is installed, you’re logged in, your event is synced, and your camera choice is set

Requirements

  • FMX open on the Main Dashboard

  • Event synced and up to date

Steps (Quick)

1. Choose Your Camera (first-time only)

  • Open Global Settings → Cameras

  • Select either your Canon DSLR or Webcam as the capture/preview source

  • Click Save Changes

2. Start Experience Mode

  • On the Main Dashboard, click Start Photo Booth

  • FMX switches to full screen and displays the first step of your event workflow

3. Follow the On-Screen Steps

  • Proceed through your workflow (countdown, capture, preview, share, etc.)

  • Confirm branded elements appear at the correct steps

4. Exit Experience Mode

  • Press Esc or Ctrl+O at any time to exit back to the dashboard

Verification

You’ve successfully run the experience if:

  • FMX enters full screen after clicking Start Photo Booth

  • The first workflow screen is displayed

  • A test run completes without errors and returns items to the appropriate queue (if applicable)

Troubleshooting

No Camera Feed

  • Ensure your camera is set in Global Settings and saved

  • Close other apps using the camera (Zoom, Teams, OBS, etc.)

Can’t Exit the Experience

  • Press Esc or Ctrl+O
