The Live Wall: Turn Guest Photos Into a Real-Time Slideshow

The Feature People Crowd Around

Some features are useful. The live wall is the one guests actually gather around. It takes the photos your guests are already uploading and projects them onto the venue screen as a full-screen, auto-rotating slideshow — with reactions and comments floating gently across the image.

The effect is a feedback loop: people see their photo go up, others want theirs up too, and suddenly everyone's contributing to the gallery without being asked.

How It Works

The live wall is just a web page. You open it on whatever screen the venue has — a projector, a TV on a stand, a laptop plugged into the house system — and it runs itself.

  1. Guests upload photos from the same QR code they used to check in.
  2. Approved photos appear on the wall automatically, newest in rotation.
  3. Reactions and comments drift across the screen as they come in.
  4. It loops all night, hands-free, with a play/pause control if you want it.

Because it pulls from the same gallery guests already use, there's nothing extra for them to learn — they upload as normal, and the wall does the rest.

Why It Drives So Many More Photos

A silent upload link gives a guest no reason to bother. The live wall gives them a stage. When someone's candid shot from the dance floor appears ten feet tall a minute later, the whole room realizes the gallery is live — and participation jumps.

That's the quiet genius of it: the live wall isn't really a display feature, it's a collection feature. It makes the photo gallery fill itself.

Nice Touches

  • Your branding — the event name sits at the top; the uploader's name and table show underneath each photo.
  • Multi-day filtering — running a weekend? Filter the wall by day so Saturday's photos don't get lost in Friday's.
  • Moderation-aware — only approved photos reach the wall, so you stay in control of what the room sees.
  • Play / pause — pause on a favorite for a toast, then let it roll again.

Setting It Up

The live wall is a premium feature. Turn it on in your event settings, open the live wall page on the venue screen, and you're done — no separate software, no cables beyond whatever connects to the display.

Put your guests' photos on the big screen

The live wall turns uploads into a real-time slideshow that pulls the whole room into the gallery. Available on premium events — $39, one-time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to run the live wall?

Any screen with a browser — a projector, a TV, or a laptop connected to the venue's display. The live wall is just a web page you open and leave running.

Do guests do anything differently?

No. They upload photos from the usual QR code. Approved photos flow onto the wall automatically.

Can I keep certain photos off the wall?

Yes. The wall only shows approved photos, so moderation gives you full control over what the room sees.
