How to Use Duo Mode in PoseOverlay

Couple poses need both people to see the overlay. Duo Mode shares the current pose via URL so both you and your partner can see the same pose overlay on your own devices — no screen-sharing required.

What Duo Mode Does

Duo Mode generates a shareable URL containing the full pose data. When a second person opens the link, they see the exact same pose overlay on their camera. Both people can independently match their half of the pose — especially useful for couple, group, and family poses.

How to Use It

Step 1
Select a couple or group pose
Choose a pose from the Couple, Group, Family, or Wedding categories — any pose that involves multiple people.
Step 2
Tap Duo Mode and share the link
In the Feature Hub, tap 📡 Duo Mode. Copy the generated URL and send it to your partner via text or AirDrop.
Step 3
Both match the pose simultaneously
Both devices show the same overlay. Position yourselves together and match your respective sides of the pose. Have a third person take the shot, or use a timer.

Duo Mode vs Director Mode

Duo Mode is peer-to-peer — both people see and match the same pose. Director Mode is top-down — one person (photographer) picks the pose, the other (subject) matches it. Use Duo Mode for couple/group poses. Use Director Mode for photographer-directed shoots.

FAQ

Does Duo Mode need a server?
No — all pose data is encoded in the URL. No backend, no accounts, no sync server.
Does it work cross-platform?
Yes — the URL works on any device with a browser. iPhone to Android, tablet to phone, any combination.
Can more than 2 people use it?
The URL can be opened on any number of devices. Share it with as many people as needed.
Do I need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No — since it's a URL, you just need to send it via any messaging method. No network requirement.
