How to Use ChackTok: Step-by-Step Guide

ChackTok is one of the most versatile photo booth apps out there: it works with 360, iPad and mirror, runs on iOS and Android, and lets you set up an event in just a few minutes. In this guide you'll see, step by step, how to get it ready for your first event. And if your business is 100% about 360 video, at the end we'll explain why it's worth comparing with a specialized app.

Step 1: Install the App and Create Your Event

Download ChackTok from the App Store or Google Play and sign in. When you open it, pick an event from the template library to get started fast, or build a custom one from scratch. Each event stores its own template, capture modes and sharing settings, so you can have one for weddings, another for corporate and another for birthdays.

Step 2: Customize the Template

ChackTok includes a WYSIWYG visual editor: what you see is what you get. Upload your overlays, frames and stickers (ideally PNG with a transparent background), and even animated GIFs for weddings or brands. Tweak logos, colors and text until the design fits the event.

Step 3: Set Up the Capture Modes

In the event's general settings you choose the modes: 360 video, photo, GIF or custom video (combining normal speed, fast and slow motion). For 360, control the speed, direction and duration of the spin. If you're using a motorized platform, turn on Bluetooth and tap the connection icon (top left) to pair the hardware.

Step 4: Adjust How Content Is Shared

Decide what options your guests see when they finish: QR code, email, SMS, social media or the app's gallery. Leave only the ones you care about active to keep the line moving at the event. With the QR code, each guest gets their video or photo on their phone in seconds.

ChackTok or an App 100% Focused on 360

ChackTok does a solid job when you're juggling several setups (360, iPad, mirror). If, on the other hand, your business is exclusively about 360 video, a specialized app usually delivers a more polished experience, clearer pricing and support in your language. Compare options in our guide to the best 360 photo booth software, where Snap360 tops the comparison thanks to its pure focus on 360.
