Slideshow and screensaver
When the booth sits idle for a while, it can show the pictures taken so far. That is also the best advertisement it has: whoever sees other people's pictures joins the queue.
Screensaver#
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Enable screensaver | The master switch |
| Start after inactivity | In seconds; 0 switches it off |
| Display type | Slideshow of the pictures, or a stored video |
| Also start on other screens | Otherwise it only starts on the start screen |
A tap on the screen ends it.
Slideshow#
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Display duration per picture | In seconds |
| Order | Newest first, random and so on |
| Maximum number of pictures | 0 shows all |
| Transition effect | How one picture turns into the next |
| Text overlay | Optional notice over the slideshow, with its own label for the exit button |
Ads (sponsor and company images)#
Your own images can be shown between the guest photos — a sponsor banner, the company logo at a corporate party or a note from the host.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Show ads | The main switch; off by default |
| Ad after every | After how many guest photos an ad appears |
| Display time of an ad | In seconds; 0 uses the display time of a photo |
| Image files | Several at once (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF) |
With several ads stored they take turns: the first one, after the next block the second and so on. As long as there are no guest photos yet, only the ads run — during setup before the party the booth already shows the customer's logo.
The ads apply to the slideshow in the booth and to the second screen, not to the display type Video. They belong to the event and travel with copies and exports.
Video instead of pictures#
A video (MP4 or WebM) plays silently in an endless loop. With a different aspect ratio you can choose whether it fills the screen and gets cropped, or appears with black bars.
Useful for sponsor clips, wedding films or the operator's own advertising — anywhere the guests' pictures should not be on public display.
Second screen#
For a second monitor, open the address http://localhost:8000/slideshow in a separate browser or kiosk window on that screen. The slideshow runs there permanently, regardless of what guests are doing at the booth. If the photo booth port was changed, the address carries the new number instead of 8000; the admin area shows it already filled in.
