To display event photos on a TV or projector, open a live photo wall in a browser on the screen, or connect a laptop to the display. Choose photos from your event gallery and leave the player running while the organizing team manages the selection. Prepare the connection and a small test set before guests arrive; the first session break is a poor time to discover that the laptop goes to sleep.
What to prepare at the venue
- •A TV with a usable browser, or a laptop connected to a TV or projector. Check the display input, adapter and cable before the event.
- •Power for the player and a stable internet connection. Test the venue network on the actual device you will use.
- •A person responsible for choosing photos and reviewing contributions while the screen runs.
- •A small opening selection that looks good from the back of the room. Include both horizontal and vertical photos in the test.
Set up the FotoMe AI live photo wall
- 01Create your event and choose a paid plan that includes Live wall. The wall is not included in the free plan.
- 02Upload your opening photos, then open the event’s Live wall tab. Add individual photos or a selection from a folder, person or album. The wall holds up to 200 photos at once.
- 03Choose the layout, timing and photo fit. Use a single image for a distant screen or try a grid for a nearby networking display. Check that faces remain visible when photos fill the screen.
- 04On the display device, open app.fotomeai.com/tv and enter the 8-character wall PIN from the Live wall tab. The player does not need an account or an installed app.
- 05Enable the gallery QR overlay if attendees should find their own photos. Test it from the audience area with a phone.
The wall PIN connects the venue screen. It is different from the 6-digit gallery PIN used for private attendee access. Give screen operators the wall PIN and give attendees the gallery instructions; putting the wall PIN on a public sign does not help guests find their photos.
Choose how guest photos reach the screen
Uploading a photo and showing it to a room are different decisions. You can choose wall photos manually. If you enable guest uploads and auto-add to the wall, use Review first when someone needs to check contributions before publication. Pending photos stay off the gallery and wall until approved. Explain to contributors when approved photos may appear on the venue screen.
After processing, wall changes are picked up on a refresh of about 15 seconds. Auto-added guest photos join the end of the rotation, so their visible appearance also depends on the queue. Removing a photo from the wall keeps it in the event gallery. Replace older selections as needed to stay within the 200-photo wall limit.
Run this five-minute rehearsal before doors open
- •Play the test set on the actual screen and check cropping, brightness and logo placement from several seats.
- •Scan the QR overlay from a realistic distance and complete the guest flow on a separate phone.
- •Add a test photo from the dashboard and confirm that the screen picks it up.
- •Keep the player powered and check its sleep settings. Use a dedicated display session so personal notifications do not interrupt the show.
- •Agree who can remove an unsuitable photo and who has access to the Live wall tab.
If the screen stops updating
Check that the device is online, the new photo has finished processing and the photo was actually added to the wall. Check the review queue when guest contributions are missing. During a connection loss the wall can continue playing photos it already has and catch up when the connection returns; it still needs a connection for initial setup and new content. If the PIN was regenerated, reconnect every screen with the new PIN.
