Tiny Desk AI with friends: cast your band
To make Tiny Desk AI with friends, each photo is one bandmate. With two friends you fill the front of the stage; with four friends the whole band is yours and no AI musician is added.
- You, lead singer: opens the video and gets the long close-up, singing and laughing.
- Friend 1, keyboard player: sits at the red keyboard, front and centre in every band shot.
- Friend 2, sax player: plays the saxophone solo near the end, the part people replay.
- Friends 3 and 4, backup singers: stand behind the desk, one pumping a fist, one hitting the high note.
Ideas for a Tiny Desk AI video with friends
A group chat inside joke, a birthday surprise for the friend on lead vocals, your team or league after a big win (or a bad loss, like the coaches in the trend), a send-off for a coworker, or a roommate band. Matching shirts or jerseys in the photos make the band look planned, because everyone keeps the clothes from their photo.
Collect one solo photo from each friend first and ask them before you upload. You confirm that everyone agreed when you press Make, and anyone can ask us to delete a video they are in.
What happens in our examples
A red-haired woman in a denim jacket and a headset mic opens the video in close-up, turns to the band and laughs. Cut to the desk: a bearded man in a navy hoodie grins and waves his hands at the red keyboard while two backup singers, a woman in a mustard top and a curly-haired man in an olive T-shirt, pump their fists behind him. Back to her for the long close-up as she sings and laughs through the line, then an older man in a plaid shirt takes the saxophone solo with the keyboard player smiling in front, and the trio closes it out on the last beat.
A tan chihuahua in a red collar and headphones opens the video, then a young man with glasses grins at the red keyboard while a curly-haired man in an olive T-shirt and an AI-added bald man in a burgundy polo pump their fists behind him. The long close-up belongs to the chihuahua, mouth wide open as if singing "Outstanding" into the microphone, before a grey-haired AI sax player in a navy suit takes the solo and the band comes back for the last beat.

How to make it, step by step
Pick one to five photos
One photo per person or pet, with only them in it and the face sharp. Photo 1 is the lead singer with the long close-up; the others are the keyboard player, the sax player and two backup singers. Leave a slot empty and the AI adds a musician.
Upload and confirm
Drop the photos into the maker on this page and confirm everyone agreed. Photos go straight to private storage and are deleted after 30 days.
Wait for the render
The video usually takes about 5–10 minutes. You can close the tab; it waits in Your videos and we email you when it is ready.
Download and post
Download the 19-second 9:16 MP4 in 1080p and post it with the "Outstanding" sound. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks.
The Tiny Desk AI video tutorial explains what stays as in the original clip and how to get the closest result.
Who it is for, and who it is not for
- For you if you want to join the Tiny Desk AI trend today with your own face, adult friends or family who said yes, or your pets, without an app or a CapCut template.
- Not for you if you want a different song or room, or real coaches or celebrities: this is the 19-second Tiny Desk band playing "Outstanding", made from photos of people who agreed, your own kids, or pets.
