How to Set Up and Use the GUESTPIX Slideshow at Your Event

GUESTPIX includes a live photo and video slideshow you can display on a screen at your event in real time. As guests upload photos and videos, they can appear on screen automatically - perfect for wedding receptions, corporate events, and parties. 

The slideshow is included in every paid GUESTPIX package. 

How to access your slideshow 

1. Log in to your host dashboard at my.guestpix.com 
2. Open your event 
3. Navigate to the Slideshow section by selecting into the Media dropdown menu then Create Slideshow.
4. Select your slideshow settings then select Save. From your slideshow page you will then see the option to select Play.

5. In terms of then connecting to a large screen, there’s 3 options to connect it all up:

   1. Run the slideshow on a laptop and connect it via HDMI to the screen/projector
   2. Cast from your device/laptop using google Chromecast from the Chrome browser over WIFI
   3. Use screen mirroring software from your device to the screen

The slideshow is browser-based. You only need a device with a strong internet connection and a screen. We do recommend Google Chrome for the best slideshow experience.

Setting up Live Refresh 

Live Refresh allows new uploads to appear at the end of the slideshow automatically as guests upload during your event. When enabled, new media will appear based on any filtering you have applied. 

To turn on Live Refresh, open the slideshow settings and enable the Live Refresh toggle before your event begins. 

Tips for displaying your slideshow at your venue 

• Use a laptop or smart TV connected to a large screen or projector for the best experience 
• Open the slideshow in a browser in full screen mode for a clean display 
• Make sure the device is connected to a reliable WIFI connection so it stays live throughout the event 
• Once the slideshow has loaded and cached on first run, the loading screen will not appear again during that session 

Can I filter what appears in the slideshow? 

Yes. You can apply filters to control which content appears. For example, you can limit it to content from a specific album, or show only approved content if you have content moderation enabled.
