Live Wedding Slideshow with Guest Photos
Photos play on the big screen all night.
You open one link in the browser of the screen at the venue; guest photos and wishes arrive by themselves.
What it is
The live slideshow is a web address that belongs to the event. You open it in the browser of a computer connected to the projector or television and make it full screen. Published photos and written wishes appear one after another, and new uploads move to the front of the queue.
In the corner of the screen the event's QR code sits next to the words “Share yours too”. When a guest sees their own photo on the screen, the people next to them scan the code as well, which is why the slideshow is the best invitation to upload.
How it works
Create the slideshow link
On the event's “Design & Screen” tab, the “Slideshow screen” card has a “Create slideshow link” button. The address stays visible on the card.
Choose what plays
With “All published photos and wishes”, everything that is published reaches the slideshow. With “Only my picks”, only the items you marked “Add to slideshow” are shown.
Open the address on the screen
Open the address in the browser of the venue screen and click the page to go full screen. Until there is content, the event name and a waiting message are shown.
Guests upload, the screen updates
The slideshow fetches new content at regular intervals by itself; you do not need to refresh the page. New photos and wishes are shown first, then everything loops.
Turn it off or renew it if needed
“Turn off” stops the slideshow and the address stops working. “Create new link” closes the old address and gives you a new one.
What guests see
- Sees the photo they uploaded or the wish they wrote on the venue screen.
- Scans the QR code on the screen to open the event page.
- Uses the address and event code shown on the screen if the code will not scan.
- Sees their written wish on the screen with their own name.
What the studio controls
- Creates, renews or turns off the slideshow link.
- Decides whether everything published plays, or only what the studio selects.
- Marks each photo and wish in the content with “Add to slideshow” or “Remove from slideshow”.
- Applies a slideshow theme prepared in DesignAsist with “Use as slideshow theme”.
Limits and details
- Each slide stays on screen for 8 seconds; the slideshow checks for new content every 20 seconds.
- The slideshow plays photos and written wishes; a written wish is shown with the guest's name.
- Creating a new link closes the old address.
- A slideshow theme has separate slots for the photo, the wish and the QR code; the polaroid collage theme shows up to three photos at once.
- In browsers that support it, the screen does not go to sleep while the slideshow is open.
Which events use it
It is used wherever everyone looks at the same screen: wedding halls, henna nights and company evenings. Festivals and concerts also use it to put visitors' uploads on the stage screen.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need special hardware for the live slideshow?
No. Any computer with a browser that is connected to the screen will do. You open the address and go full screen.
How do I keep an unsuitable photo off the screen?
Set the slideshow to “Only my picks”; only the photos and wishes you add reach the screen. You can also make publishing depend on your approval.
Do videos play in the slideshow?
The slideshow plays photos and written wishes. Videos and voice wishes stay in the event archive.
What if the slideshow link gets into the wrong hands?
Press “Create new link”. The old address closes at once and the new one appears on the card.
Can I change how the slideshow looks?
Yes. You can apply a DesignAsist slideshow theme saved for the event; the theme sets the background and the slots for the photo, the wish and the QR code. Without a theme, a plain dark layout is used.
