A live photo slideshow from your guests' phones

This is a live photo slideshow for events that your guests fill themselves. They scan a QR code and take photos in the browser, with no app, and each photo reaches your TV or projector seconds later. You choose how the screen looks and which photos wait for your approval. The venue only needs a screen with a browser.

What you need at the venue

You need a TV, projector or laptop with a browser and an internet connection. Open the slideshow link from your event, switch to full screen and leave it running. There's nothing to install on the screen and nothing for guests to download.

Every event is end-to-end encrypted, so the slideshow link carries its key after the # in the address. Browsers never send that part to a server, and the screen decrypts each photo itself. Photos are stored in the region you chose when you signed up, the US or the EU.

What EU hosting covers

Eight display modes

Pick a mode in the event's wall settings. It's worth trying a few on your own TV before the day.

Slideshow shows one photo at a time, full screen.
Mosaic Grid puts 4, 9 or 16 photos on screen at once.
Collage scatters photos across the screen like prints on a table.
Timeline and Time-Lapse play the evening back in the order the photos were taken.
Photo Mosaic fills the tiles of a picture you upload, such as a portrait of the couple, with guest photos until the picture is complete.
Floating lets photos drift across the screen, and Spotlight shows one large photo at a time with room for the guest's name and caption.

What else can go on the screen

Overlays sit on top of whichever mode you choose. Turn on the ones you want.

The event's QR code in a corner, so people who arrive late can join from their seat.
A photo counter and a list of the top photographers.
Guest names, captions and the time each photo was taken.
Confetti or a flash when a new photo arrives.
Voice messages from the guestbook, played between photos at an interval you set.
Results of live polls, trivia and Q&A.

About the audio guestbook

You decide what reaches the screen

Turn on approval and new photos wait for you before they appear. You can remove a photo that's already showing, block a guest, and mark favorites as featured, so they stay up twice as long or are the only ones shown.

A nudity check runs on each guest's phone and warns them before they upload. It's a classifier, not a guarantee, so keep approval on when the screen faces a room full of colleagues or grandparents.

Weddings and disposable camera mode

At a wedding the slideshow usually runs at the reception, from dinner to the last dance. With disposable camera mode on, photos reach the screen as they develop. If you set a delay, the wall fills up through the evening. If you set an end time, the rest of the roll develops when it passes. With no delay, each shot goes up as soon as it's taken.

What it costs

The slideshow comes with every event, the free one included, where it carries an AllSnaps watermark. Paid passes show no watermark, and Premium and Business add your own colors. Passes start at $19, paid once per event, with no subscription.

Questions

Does the slideshow need special hardware?

No. Any screen with a browser and an internet connection works: a smart TV, a laptop connected to a projector, or a tablet on a stand.

How fast do photos appear?

Usually seconds after a guest takes them. With approval on, they appear once you approve them, and in disposable camera mode once they develop.

Can I play music with the slideshow?

Yes. Upload an audio file in the wall settings and it plays on the display, on repeat if you like.

Do guests need an app to get their photos on the screen?

No. They scan the QR code on a sign or on the screen itself and take photos in the browser, without an account.

Does it work without internet at the venue?

No. The screen and the guests' phones need a connection. If a guest's signal drops, their upload waits and goes up when it returns.
