What Is a Digital Audio Guest Book?

A digital audio guest book lets guests leave recorded voice messages instead of signing a traditional guest book. With GuestCam, they can record through their browser, use a tablet in PhoneBooth mode, or, on Premium, call a phone number. Messages are available to listen to as soon as they are recorded, with no rented phone to ship or return.

Because it works online, GuestCam can also serve as a virtual or voicemail guest book, with no rental phone required.

Three recording methods

How GuestCam’s Digital Audio Guest Book Works

Choose the recording option that works best for your celebration, or make more than one available so guests can leave messages in different ways.

Guests Record Through Their Browser

Guests open your GuestCam event page on any smartphone browser and record a voice message in a few taps. There is no app to download, and browser recording is available on all plans.

Use a Tablet in PhoneBooth Mode

Use your own tablet to create an optional recording station at your event. Guests tap the screen and leave a message using GuestCam’s PhoneBooth software. There is no physical phone to rent, ship, or return.

Audio Guest Book Cost: Digital vs. Phone Rental

The cost of an audio guest book depends largely on whether you rent a physical phone or use a digital setup. A vintage phone rental typically costs $200 to $500 for voicemails only. GuestCam plans range from $49 to $97 and include voice messages along with photo and video sharing.

Both options preserve messages in your guests’ voices. The main differences are the hardware, recording options, shipping, price, and when you can listen.
