Overview

Welcome! Your event gallery is the central place where all the photos and videos of your event come together – from you, your guests and the photo booth. It runs right in the browser, with no app or account.

This page is your map: it shows what the gallery can do, where to find it (it looks different on a phone than on a computer) and when each feature appears at all. Because almost everything you see depends on what the host has switched on, your view may differ from the screenshots here. That is not a bug.

Phone

Computer

The home screen of your gallery – your starting point.

Why does my gallery look different?

Menu items only appear when the host has enabled the matching feature and there is already content for it. If something is missing (e.g. “Tasks” or “Leaderboard”), it is either not enabled or still empty.

Finding your way around

The gallery has two completely different navigations on desktop and on mobile. Once you get that, you will always find your way back.

On a computer (desktop)

A fixed navigation bar runs across the top of the screen.

On desktop: everything is at the top – event title on the left, links in the middle, bell and avatar on the right.

• Far left sits the event title. Clicking it always takes you back to the home screen.
• In the middle are the text links. Depending on what is enabled you will see: Home, Gallery, Activity, Tasks, Albums and Leaderboard. “Gallery” is always there; the others appear only when the host has enabled them and there is content.
• Far right you find the bell (notifications) and your avatar (the profile menu, see below).

Note

The Home link is only shown when there are just a few menu items in total. On a busy event with many sections, “Home” may be missing – just tap the event title, which goes to the same place.

On a phone (mobile)

On a phone there are two bars:

On a phone: a small bar at the top, a large tab bar at the bottom – with the round plus button for uploading.

• At the top sits the event title (goes to the home screen), next to it (if enabled) a sparkles icon for Activity, plus the bell and avatar.
• At the bottom is the fixed tab bar. It shows – sorted by importance – up to five items, such as Gallery, Tasks, Albums, Leaderboard and Profile.
• In the middle of the bottom bar sits the large round plus button for uploading. It only appears if you are allowed to upload.
• The active tab is highlighted in the event’s brand color.

A menu item is missing?

If a menu item is missing, it is either not enabled or there is no content yet. “Albums”, for example, only appears once there are albums or tasks. On a phone at most five tabs are visible at once. More details in the guide Finding your way.

What can the gallery do?

Photos & videos

1. Upload photos – on a phone via the round plus button, on desktop via the gallery toolbar. Only visible if you have upload rights and the event allows uploads. Guide: Upload photos.

   Phone

   

   Computer

   

   The upload button opens the upload dialog.

2. Take a photo directly – the camera opens right in the gallery, with no detour through the camera app. Guide: Take a photo.

   Phone

   

   Computer

   

   In the upload dialog you choose “Take photo” for the live camera.“

3. Download – save individual photos. Only visible when the host allows downloads. Guide: Download.

4. Select multiple – bulk download and bulk actions for many photos at once. Only when bulk download is allowed. Guide: Select multiple.

Many ways to get there

Almost every action on a photo works several ways: on a computer, right-click a photo (context menu with Open, Select, Like, Comments, Download, Report), in full screen via the three-dot menu (⋮), or directly via the icons on the tile. Pick whichever is most convenient.

Discover & join in

1. Likes & comments – react with the heart (double-tap the photo or the heart icon) and write comments. Likes and comments each need to be enabled by the host. Guide: Likes & comments.

   Phone

   

   Computer

   

   Give a like with a double-tap or via the heart icon.

2. Challenges (Tasks) – in the Tasks tab you find photo tasks you can solve and earn points for. Only visible when tasks are enabled and there are some. Guide: Challenges.

   Phone

   

   Computer

   

   Tasks invite you to capture specific shots.

3. Find photos of you (face search) – if the host has enabled AI face recognition, you can filter the gallery to the photos you appear in. Guide: Find photos of you.

   Phone

   

   Computer

   

   Use the filter to find photos of a specific person.

4. Albums, slideshow, map and live photo wall – more ways to view your photos. Details further down. Guides: Albums, Slideshow, Map view, Live photo wall.

   Phone

   

   Computer

   

   Albums group photos, e.g. by part of the program.

Rewards & account

• Points & rewards – your points total appears in the profile menu, provided the event has enabled points. Some events even hand out real rewards. Guides: Points & rewards, Real rewards.
• Profile, notifications & language – you control all of these via the profile menu at the top right. Guides: Your profile, Notifications, Change the language.

Understanding the map view

The map is not a separate page in the navigation, but a toggle inside the gallery. At the top of the gallery toolbar you switch between Grid, Timeline and Map.

You reach the map via the toggle in the gallery – not via its own menu.

Phone

Computer

On the map, photos appear at the place where they were taken.

Map is greyed out?

The Map button is greyed out when no photo has location data (GPS) yet. That is not a bug – without geotagged photos there is nothing to show. Once photos with GPS are present, the button becomes active. More on this: Map view.

Understanding the slideshow

The slideshow has no menu item of its own. It opens as soon as you tap a photo and it appears in full screen – from there you control previous/next and playback.

Phone

Computer

Tap a photo to switch to full-screen and slideshow mode.

In full screen, the three-dot menu (⋮) leads to further actions such as download, share, report and the photo details. More on this: Slideshow.

Understanding the live photo wall

The live photo wall is meant as a large display for TVs or projectors – new photos appear there automatically. It is not an ordinary guest tab, but a separate view the host opens on the big screen.

The photo wall shows incoming photos live – perfect for the screen in the room.

More on this: Live photo wall.

The profile menu – your second hub

The avatar at the top right opens the profile menu. Almost all account and role features live here.

Phone

Computer

Via the avatar at the top right you reach profile, language, theme – and (with a role) moderation and the admin portal.

Depending on what is enabled and your role, you find here:

• Task progress – a ring around your avatar and a progress bar when tasks are active.
• Points – your current points total when points are enabled.
• Profile options: My Profile, Language and – if enabled – Theme/Dark Mode.
• Management (only with the matching role): Account Settings, Moderation (for moderators, possibly with a red badge = open reports) and Admin Portal for hosts.
• Account: Sign Out, or Sign In if you are here as a guest.

Are you a moderator or host?

Via the avatar at the top right you reach Moderation or the Admin Portal. From there you continue to the admin dashboard and to moderation.

Notifications (the bell)

The bell sits next to your avatar. A red counter shows unread notifications; a click opens the list.

Phone

Computer

The bell shows new activity around your photos.

No bell in sight?

The bell only appears once there has been at least one notification. If you see none, you simply have not received any yet – not a bug. More on this: Notifications.

Roles in brief

Because the visibility of many features depends on your role, here is a short legend:

• Viewer – view only, no uploading or commenting.
• Contributor – upload, like and comment. Most guests are contributors.
• Moderator / Admin / Owner – additionally access to moderation or the admin area.

What exactly you are allowed to do is set by the host. More on this: Roles & permissions.

Are you organizing the event?

Then the admin area is your starting point – from setup and approving photos to backing up all photos. You reach it via the avatar at the top right → Admin Portal.

Guests need to install nothing

Neither app nor account: a tap on the event link or QR code is enough. See Joining an event.
