Stream Display Settings

Customize how your live stream displays photos and videos, and brand it with your event's name, colors and logo.

Good to Know

Designed for large screens: The live stream page is designed to be displayed on a projector, TV, or large monitor at your event. For help connecting to a display, see our projector setup instructions.

Viewing on mobile: For a mobile-friendly gallery to share with guests, use the dedicated Gallery page. Sign in to your account to find the gallery link for your event.

Finding the Settings

Look for the faint gear icon in the bottom-right corner of your live stream page, just above the instructions footer. Hover over it to see "Open Settings", then click or tap it to open the settings menu. The menu scrolls if it is taller than your screen.

Tip: Click the X button or the gear icon again to close the settings menu. The "What do these settings do?" link at the top of the menu opens this page.

Settings Reference

Try the main settings on the preview below. The menu on your live stream also has Rotation Interval, Stretch / Retain Aspect and the footer QR modes described in the table.

Available when QR upload is enabled for the event.

Note: Defaults for these settings can be saved per event from the Stream Settings page. Adjustments made on a screen are remembered on that device until you use Reset to Event Defaults or the event's saved defaults change.

Event Defaults & Branding

Event hosts can save default display settings and add custom branding from the Stream Settings page. Sign in to your account, open your event, and choose Stream Settings.

The defaults in the Stream Display & Branding section (columns, image sizing, rotation, instructions footer and source icons) and in the QR Guest Upload section (captions and QR display on the live stream) control how the stream looks when it first loads on a screen. Viewers can still fine-tune the display using the on-screen settings menu described above.

Stream Design & Branding

Stream title, footer instructions and background are available on all packages. Your event logo, a background image, logo watermarks and a branded guest upload page and gallery are included with the Complete package. Free streams can try all of these.

Personalize the stream page with your event's name, colors and background under Stream design, and add your logo and watermarks under Custom branding:

The same live stream with the default pattern background and blue instructions footer

Default Branded

Drag to compare the same stream, default and branded

Option	Description
Stream Title	Custom title shown at the top of the stream page and in the browser tab (e.g. "Sarah & Tom's Wedding"). Leave it blank to hide the title. Choose the title colour, size, font weight and text shadow, with a live preview before saving. Sizes adapt to the screen. On Complete or a free demo, the title text also heads the guest upload page, gallery and printable guest instructions (the styling applies to the stream only); without a title, those show your event hashtag.
Footer Instructions	Instruction text that replaces the default intro in the guest instructions footer (leave blank to use the default), its text colour, and an optional custom footer background colour. Choose colours with the colour picker or hex input, and check the footer preview before saving.
Stream Background	Choose the PhotoStream pattern, projector-friendly black, or a solid colour using the colour picker or hex input, with a background preview. On Complete or a free demo, choose Your image to show your uploaded background image.
Background Image Complete	Your own photo or design filling the screen behind the stream, cropped to fit any screen shape. Choose Your image as the background style, then select a file in the upload field that appears below it to preview it before saving (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB; a landscape image of at least 1920 × 1080 looks best)
Event Logo Complete	Your logo in the stream footer, at the top of the guest upload page and gallery (above your stream title and footer colour), and at the top of the printable guest instructions (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, up to 2 MB)
Logo Watermarks Complete	Show your event logo over photos and videos on the live stream, the gallery, or both, in one of nine positions, with an optional light background for dark logos. Original files and downloads stay unchanged. Requires an uploaded event logo.

Tip: Save your settings, then refresh any open live streams and galleries to apply branding changes.

If someone else saves these settings while you have the page open, saving only applies the settings you changed, so theirs are kept. If you both changed the same setting, theirs stays and the page tells you which one to check.
