Votive stores clips on your iPad and exports individual videos through Files or Photos. Its App Store listing says the paid event's 24-hour window begins when you tap Start Event. Copy your exported recordings to a second location after the celebration.

Do guests need their own phone?

Votive guests use your iPad. Guided prompts help them start their message. Choose a theme to fit your event, and enable Photo Booth if you want guests to take a photo after recording.

GuestPix guests use a browser on their own device. They open your QR code or private link and add their name at the welcome screen. GuestPix says guest registration and app downloads are not required. This flow suits gathering footage taken throughout the day.
