Family version: one photo of you and your child is enough (the adult plays the parent), or add one photo each for clearer faces. Only use a photo of your own child; you must be their parent or legal guardian. Two adults work too: the one on the left sits in front.
Photo tips
Use everyday photos of yourself, your pets or friends (with their consent). Celebrity photos and film or MV stills won't pass review.

Bad Times · Family is the parent-and-child version of the trend: upload one photo of you and your child, or one photo each. No child? Two adults work too: the one on the left takes the front seat. Your child sits behind and mouths the song at the camera with big faces, while you sit in front with a straight face, rolling your eyes — until you shout back at each other at the end. It's set in a car. You get a 9:16 clip of 10 to 30 seconds with the song, and no prompt is needed. Only for your own child, uploaded by a parent or legal guardian.
