A shared gallery for the season’s gatherings
Holiday pictures often come from different homes and different days. Someone photographs the meal, someone catches the decorations and someone else keeps the group portrait on their phone. Invite everyone to add the moments they want to share to an event gallery, rather than leaving the organiser to collect them individually.
Guests scan the event QR code or tap its link to open the gallery in a browser. They can use an iPhone, Android, iPad or a desktop browser. No app download required. Whether guests can upload without logging in depends on the plan, so check that detail before sending the invitation.
Include relatives who cannot travel
Send the event link to relatives spending the holidays at home. They can add photos once the event exists, just as the guests at your gathering can. Suggest a picture of their table, a favourite decoration or a moment from their own day, and leave them free to choose what they would like to share.
A message in the gallery is another way to contribute. Guests can also like and comment on photos, connecting pictures with conversation. Make the invitation welcoming rather than compulsory, especially when people are deciding which family photos they feel comfortable posting.
Keep several days together
One gallery can collect the pictures from several days while the event’s hosting period runs. Plan your reminders around the period included with your chosen plan; the pricing page and hosting guide explain what to check. Do not assume access stays open for a particular duration before you have selected the plan.
Put a printed welcome flyer near the table or in a place guests will notice. The Share screen lets you print or save the flyer as a PDF, and the event link is useful in a message afterwards. Invite people to add the pictures still on their phones when they have time.
Share the pictures on the TV
On Premium Plus, LiveView displays photos full screen and adds new ones as guests upload. Use a smart TV browser, or a PC over HDMI, AirPlay or Chromecast. Choose a screen position that lets people look at the pictures without making it the focus of every conversation.
Try your display arrangement before the meal or visit begins. The help guide explains the supported options. If a relative is helping with the screen, share that guide with them so the host can concentrate on being with the family.
Choose access and downloads thoughtfully
Guests reach an event through its QR code, event code or link. On Premium and Premium Plus, a passcode adds an extra access step. If you choose it, send the passcode to invited guests alongside the link so relatives at home have what they need.
Hosts on paid plans can download all photos in a zip file. Resolution and guest download options vary by plan. Start with a free trial to explore the gallery, then compare the features you want before promising downloads or a live display to your family.
