Slideshow Mode
Slideshow mode fills a screen with photos from the event as they come in, newest first. It's built for a TV. This funcion connects to the cloud and requires internet.
Starting a slideshow
- Open up a broswer on the TV or device.
- Type in the Gallery Code, ABCEFG
- Press
F11to put the browser in full screen. - Press SPACE to pause
New photos appear automatically — leave it running all night. The slideshow default is single shots, if you would like to display strips, you need to change the url manually
Example: https://app.imgbooth.photos/slideshow/?booth=ABCEFG&strips=1
What to run it on
| Device | Works well? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Laptop with HDMI | Yes | Simplest option. Disable sleep and screensaver first. |
| Smart TV browser | Sometimes | Varies by TV. Test at home before an event. |
| Streaming stick | Yes | Cast the browser tab from a laptop. |
| Tablet | Yes | Good for a small display on the booth itself. |
<WRAP important> Turn off sleep, screensaver, and automatic updates on whatever device drives the screen. A slideshow that goes black because the computer when to sleep is the most common slideshow issue. </WRAP>
Before doors open
- Run the slideshow for a few minutes on the actual screen you'll use
- Check the photos aren't cropped awkwardly on that screen's aspect ratio
- Confirm the device has proper internet connection. We suggest using your own hotspot
