How to Do the Coldplay Kiss Cam AI Trend: You Two on the Big Screen From Two Photos

The Coldplay kiss cam AI filter, step by step: what the trend is, which two photos to use and in which order, pets, the sound, how to keep it a joke, and what it costs — no CapCut needed.

How to Do the Coldplay Kiss Cam AI Trend: You Two on the Big Screen From Two Photos

A phone in the crowd films a stadium's giant round screen. The kiss cam lands on two people hugging, they see themselves, and one covers their face and spins away while the other ducks out of sight. The Coldplay kiss cam meme is back in October 2026 as an AI filter — here's how to put yourself and a friend on that screen from two photos.

What is the Coldplay kiss cam AI trend?

The original moment is from a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium on 16 July 2025, when the kiss cam caught a couple who hid from the screen. The two people in it are real, and this guide doesn't show or name them.

In October 2026 it returned as an AI filter. On 15 October the CapCut template account @capcuttingcorner posted the first kiss cam AI clip with other faces on the screen, and its clip from 16 October passed 5 million views. Our Coldplay Kiss Cam template follows the moves and camera of that 16 October reel.

How to make it

  1. Open the Coldplay Kiss Cam template.
  2. Add photo 1: the one in front, who gasps, covers their face and spins away.
  3. Add photo 2: the one behind, who hugs from behind and then ducks below the railing.
  4. Pick a version and generate. Every version renders the whole 11-second clip.
  5. Download, add the sound and post. The clip is silent; add the trending kiss cam sound in TikTok or Reels and tag the other person.

Photos that work best

  • Faces sharp and forward. Chest up, eyes and mouth visible, no sunglasses. The faces are small on the big screen, so sharp photos matter.
  • One person or pet per photo. Two separate photos give each face the most detail.
  • Mind the order. Swap the photos before you generate if you want the other role.
  • Good light. Daylight or a bright room keeps both faces recognizable under the stadium lights.

Can my dog or cat be in it?

Yes. Either photo can be a pet: it stands on its hind legs, hugs with its paws or covers its face, and keeps its own fur and face. A dog hugging you from behind and ducking is a crowd favourite.

Does it have sound?

No. The original sound is live concert audio, so the video comes back silent. Add the trending kiss cam sound from TikTok's or Instagram's library when you post.

How to keep it a joke

Make it with someone who's in on it — your partner, your best friend, your mom. Don't use it to suggest a real affair, and never use photos of strangers, coworkers who didn't agree, children or public figures. Keep the platform's AI label on.

What does it cost?

Balanced starts at 10 credits; Premium is 25 credits at 480p, 50 at 720p and 85 at 1080p. Without an account, one video costs $7.99 (Balanced, 480p) at checkout. Each account's first full 480p video costs 20 credits. No watermark, and failed renders are refunded automatically.

FAQ

Do I need the CapCut app? No. The template runs in any browser: two photos in, an 11-second vertical video out.

Can I use one photo of us together? The template takes two photos, one per person. Crop a photo of you two into two photos if that's all you have.

Is it the real concert footage? No. The stadium, the screen, the hug and the reactions are generated; only the two people from your photos appear, and nothing from the 2025 clip is shown.
