This guide is for event admins who want to run Live Show on a big screen or projector.
When is this relevant?
- You want new uploads to appear live on a large display.
- You need a stable flow with moderation, effects, and hardware guidance.
Prepare Live Show (Admin app)
- Open the event and go to Live Show settings.
- Choose a moderation mode:
- Off: every photo appears immediately.
- Manual: photos are held in the Live Show queue.
- Trusted only: only approved sources are auto-added.
- Set the pace (auto or fixed seconds), layout (single/split/grid), and effect preset.
- Save the settings.
Open the Live Show link
- Open the Live Show URL in the format
/show/<token>on the playback device. - Share the link only with staff who should control the show.
Tip: The Live Show player is read-only and works without login.
Moderation during the event
- Open the Live Show queue in the admin app and approve new photos.
- Use "Approve + Live" to publish to gallery and Live Show in one step.
- Act quickly on sensitive content (policy: ≤10 minutes).
Effects & layouts (recommended defaults)
- Film Cut + Blur last: calm, professional look.
- Shutter Flash: more energy for party and gala moments.
- Grid Burst: best for high-volume uploads and big screens.

Network & stability
