Host Live — Capture Stations

Stations tab

The Stations tab lists stations with Online/Offline status and browser/platform details. Tap a station to view its details, or tap + Add Capture Station to register another station.

Settings tab — capture behavior

• Countdown before the shutter: Set the capture countdown (example: 3s).
• Maximum video length: Set the video recording limit (example: 8s).
• Offer to text guests their photo: If enabled, the Capture app shows a phone-number keypad after a capture so the guest can receive a link by SMS. These texts count against the event's message allowance, as invitations do.

Tap Save to apply changes. The booth's visual design and photo strip are configured in the full Hub Designer, not in Host Live.

Selected station — Settings

The station detail screen shows status, platform, and connection information, along with:

• Device PIN: Four-digit PIN used to access settings on the Capture device. The screen indicates that, when no PIN is set, devices accept 0000; use Set a PIN to protect access.
• Activation code / Re-pair: A connected station needs no activation code. Re-pair generates a new code when needed.
• Device link: Copy the station's kiosk URL to open on the device.
• Capture Station name: Edit the station's name.

The device PIN and activation code have different purposes: the PIN protects device settings; the activation code pairs a station.

Selected station — Device Info

The Device Info tab can show device type, browser, resolution, pixel ratio, viewport, orientation, camera availability, IndexedDB storage and quota, app version, installation status, activation and last-seen times, network status, pending uploads, last queue error, device ID, and user agent. Use these details for troubleshooting.

Capture has currently been tested on iPad; do not assume other tablets are verified.
