Turn on the TV slideshow and open its link in a web browser on a TV, a projector or a monitor, and your event's newest photos appear as they're taken. It's on the Pro plan, and you can use it during the free trial.
Turn it on
1. Open the event and go to the Sharing tab.
2. On the TV Slideshow card, turn on the switch in its top-right corner.
3. Open the TV Slideshow Link in a web browser on the screen: the TV's own browser, or a laptop plugged into the TV. The link ends in a short 8-character code, easy to type with a TV remote.
On the screen, move the mouse to show the fullscreen button. The TV needs internet, and checks for new photos every 15 seconds. Set the TV or laptop not to sleep.
What shows on the TV
The newest photos, up to the last 60, in a loop. New photos can appear full-screen for 8 seconds, with a New label, first. When several arrive together, some join the loop directly.
Videos play without sound, for up to 30 seconds (in Grid, as a still).
Before the first photo, a large QR code reads Scan for your photos.
With an AI effect, the TV follows your Guest gallery shows choice.
The TV shows the event's photos even when the Live Gallery is off, so only put it where everyone may see every photo. To take a photo off, delete it from the event (see How long are galleries kept, and how to download or delete photos). It leaves the TV within about 15 seconds.
Change the look
Changes save right away and reach the TV within about 15 seconds.

Turn it off, or replace the link
Turn it off: switch off TV Slideshow, and the TV shows This slideshow is off. Switch it back on and the TV returns by itself within a minute, on the same link.
Link got out, for example on a photo of the screen? Click New Link, then Make a New Link. The old link stops working right away.
The slideshow also goes off if the event is deleted or your plan moves to Starter.
