Showing a live slideshow on a TV or projector at your reception

The live slideshow plays your guests' photos full-screen and adds new ones as they're uploaded. It's a lovely way to get everyone sharing during the reception.

Turn it on

1. Open your album and click Configure album.
2. Under Guest experience, switch on Slideshow.

Start it on the big screen

1. On the device connected to the screen, open a web browser and go to your guest album link.
2. Tap the slideshow button and make the browser full-screen.

Each photo shows for a few seconds with a soft crossfade, the controls hide themselves, and newly uploaded photos join automatically.

Ways to connect a screen

• Laptop + HDMI cable to the TV or projector. This is the most reliable option.
• Smart TV, Fire TV Stick or Chromecast: open the TV's web browser and type your album link, or cast or mirror a browser tab from a laptop or phone.
• Apple TV: use AirPlay screen mirroring from a Mac, iPad or iPhone.

Ask your venue or DJ. They usually have a laptop and cable ready.

Tips

• The gallery must be Visible to guests for the slideshow to have something to show. It can't display an upload-only album or an unrevealed Disposable Camera album.
• Everything uploaded appears on screen. If you'd like a safety net, ask a co-host to keep an eye on Guest uploads and hide anything unsuitable.
• Turn off the laptop's sleep mode and screen saver, plug it in, and use venue Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot.
• Test the full setup before guests arrive.
