Tips for the Best Slideshow Experience

Choose the right screen. The slideshow is designed to look beautiful on large displays. A projector, large TV, or widescreen monitor at your venue will give the best results. The slideshow looks great on either landscape or portrait screens.

Use a reliable connection. The slideshow checks for new photos regularly, so the display device needs a stable internet connection. If your venue's Wi-Fi is unreliable, consider using a phone hotspot connected to the display device.

Go fullscreen. When you first open the slideshow, you'll see a prompt to enter fullscreen mode. This removes browser toolbars and gives you a clean, edge-to-edge display.

Enable the QR code. If your slideshow screen is visible to guests, turning on the QR code is a great way to encourage more uploads throughout the evening. Guests see the code, scan it, and their photos start appearing on screen within minutes.

Hide test uploads. If you tested the upload process before your wedding, enable the "Hide test uploads" setting so only photos from the day itself appear on screen.

Let your DJ know. A quick announcement like "Your photos are appearing on the big screen, scan the QR code on your table to add yours" can dramatically increase guest participation.
