Projector mode
Your guests' photos, live on the wall
Every picture a guest uploads appears moments later on the projector or TV in the room. Your QR code stays in the corner the whole time — whoever spots their own photo up there shows the person next to them, and that person uploads too.
What happens in the room
The big screen isn't a slideshow somebody prepared. It shows what is happening this minute.
New pictures jump to the front
When someone uploads a photo, the screen interrupts its round and shows it next — with a notice above it and the guest's name below. Then it carries on where it left off.
A new picture every seven seconds
Long enough for a table to notice and point at it. Short enough that nobody sits in front of a frozen image. The transitions fade softly so it doesn't flicker at the edge of your vision.
The QR code stays put
Bottom right, the whole evening, with the name of your party next to it. That is the real point of the big screen: whoever sees everyone else's pictures wants to add their own.
The screen stays awake
While the big screen is running it keeps the device awake by itself — nobody has to turn off sleep mode or press a key halfway through the evening.
Three ways onto the big screen
This is where it fails in practice, and it isn't the technology: someone is standing in front of an unfamiliar TV in the evening and doesn't know what to do. Hence three named ways instead of one general description.
Laptop on the projectorEasiest way
Laptop into the projector or TV with an HDMI cable, tap “Open big screen” in the host area, go full screen. This works in any venue, with whatever equipment is already there.
TV with its own browser
On the TV, go to fotorium.de/tv and enter the six-digit code the host area shows you. No laboured typing with the remote, no cable.
Cast from your phone
Chromecast or AirPlay: open the big screen on your phone and cast the display. The way to go for the TV that is already on the wall with no laptop near it.
Worth knowing
- There is nothing to install. The big screen is a web page and runs in any reasonably current browser.
- We deliberately don't show videos there. A silent video in the middle of the run looks like a fault, and at a party the music has the sound anyway.
- If the connection drops briefly, the screen carries on with the pictures it has and catches up on the new ones once it is back.
- Whoever operates the big screen doesn't need an account with us — the link is enough. So the DJ can take over the laptop too.
Frequently asked questions about this
See all questions →Can I show the pictures on a big screen?
Yes, that's what projector mode is for. It shows the party's pictures full screen, new ones jump to the front, and the QR code stays visible in the corner — in our experience that's the best way to get even more guests joining in.
What if the signal at the party is poor?
Pictures go straight from the phone to us, with no detour. If the connection drops, the page retries by itself and says so if something didn't arrive. Worst case, guests upload from home the next day — the link stays valid.
Are videos possible?
Yes, from the Feier plan upwards: up to 1 minute per video, and up to 3 minutes on the Hochzeit plan. Videos aren't included in the trial plan.
Do my guests need to install an app?
No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and land straight in the browser. No store, no account, no password — they just enter their name once so everyone can see whose photos are whose.
