Live photo slideshow: guest photos on screen as they upload

PicBee's live photo slideshow puts guest photos on a TV or projector during your event. Guests scan a QR code, upload from the phone browser with no app, and their photos join the slideshow as they come in.

Live slideshow vs a wedding slideshow video

A wedding slideshow is usually a video montage of photos, put together before the day and played once. A live photo slideshow runs during the event and keeps filling up as guests upload, so it shows the night while it is happening.

For the full wedding setup, see our wedding photo sharing app. Comparing live slideshow tools? Read PicBee vs Kululu.

What you need

  • A TV or projector.
  • A browser to open the slideshow link, on a laptop, tablet or smart TV. You can also cast from a phone to the TV.
  • Wi-Fi at the venue that you have tested with the screen before guests arrive.
  • A photo QR code for events where guests can see it, so they can upload.

After the night

The slideshow shows your event gallery, so the same photos stay in the gallery after the night. Guests can come back to view them and download them as your download settings allow. On Premium, Ultimate and photographer plans, they can use face search to find the photos it matches to their face.
