Put the album on a screen in the room and the room starts feeding it. Every photo someone adds shows up for everyone within seconds, which turns out to be all the slideshow you need.
Set it up
- 01
Open the event link in a browser
On a laptop plugged into the TV or projector, or in the TV's own browser. Use the plain event link (or the custom link), the same one guests get.
- 02
Open it as a guest
Use a private window, or a device you're not signed in on, so the screen shows the guest view. Signed in as the host, the same link skips the gate and shows the album at full access. Dismiss the welcome sheet with View the gallery before you walk away.
- 03
Full-screen it and leave it
The gallery listens for new uploads and adds them to the top on its own. A tile appears within a few seconds of the upload finishing. Nothing to refresh, nothing to click.
- 04
Put the QR code next to it
On a card in front of the screen, or in a corner of the slide if you're mixing the album with a presentation. The screen makes people want to add; the code lets them. See print your QR, or put it on a screen.
What it looks like
The gallery is a grid, newest at the top, so the freshest photos are the ones people see first. Videos show a still frame with a play badge; they don't autoplay. There's no dedicated slideshow or kiosk mode that cycles through photos full-screen, and no way to pin one photo; the live mosaic is the display.
Keep it presentable
Turn on review if you'd rather see photos before the room does: an approved photo appears on the screen the moment you approve it from your phone. See review uploads before they appear. Hiding a photo removes it from the screen just as fast.
If the event requires accounts, the screen's browser will ask for an email once; use any address you can check, or sign in as yourself. A password-protected event stays unlocked on that browser for about 12 hours, so a screen left up through a long day will ask for the password again.
A long evening on one tab
The page keeps itself fresh, but a browser left alone for many hours can pause background work. If the screen ever seems stuck, a reload brings it straight back with everything that arrived meanwhile.
