Event Photo Stream Live Display with Poolr
Poolr is an event photo sharing app that displays guest photos live on a screen during your gathering. Guests scan a QR code, upload from their phone's browser, and their photos appear instantly on your event display.
How the Live Photo Display Works
Poolr's live photo wall turns any screen (TV, projector, tablet, laptop) into a real-time display of photos from your guests. As guests upload photos via the QR code, they appear on your event screen within seconds. The Occasion+ tier and higher unlock this feature. You control what goes live via a moderation queue, so you review each photo before it displays. No lag, no complicated setup. Connect any device to your WiFi, open the Poolr dashboard, and point your screen at it. Perfect for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, and family gatherings where you want a shared moment of all the photos being captured.
Guest Photo Upload - No App, No Friction
Guests don't download anything. The host generates a QR code inside Poolr, prints it or displays it on a card, and guests scan it with their phone camera. One tap opens a browser, they select photos from their gallery, and upload. Full-resolution photos are captured automatically. No account creation, no login, no complicated steps. This is why Poolr collects more photos per event than traditional shared albums. Guests simply scan and upload. Works on iOS and Android. The entire experience takes under 30 seconds per guest.
Full Photo Collection Across All Tiers
Every guest photo is saved to your shared album, whether you choose the free tier or a paid plan. Free Poolr events store 30 photos for 7 days, enough to test the workflow. Moment (£8.99) stores 200 photos. Occasion (£19.99) offers unlimited photos that never expire, plus live display, audio guestbook, custom event frames, and automated photobook generation. Forever (£34.99) adds 2 years of retention and face recognition with highlight reels. As of June 2026, thousands of events use Poolr to collect between 50 and 500 photos per event.
Live Moderation and Control
During your event, a live moderation queue shows photos as guests upload them. You approve or skip each one before it appears on your live display screen. This gives you control over the event experience. Want to hide someone's silly photo for 10 minutes? Done. Want to blur a face? The app lets you moderate in real time. Once the event ends, your full album is saved and guests can download individual photos or the host can download the entire gallery as a ZIP file.
Beyond Live Display: Photobooks and Video
Poolr goes beyond just displaying photos on screen. Higher tiers generate an automated printed photobook from your event album (ship it within days). Custom event frames let guests add your event logo or design to their photos before uploading. Reveal mode works like a disposable camera, hiding photos until the event ends, creating surprise moments. Guests can also upload video clips. If you host multiple events, the Host+ subscription (£49.99 per year) unlocks unlimited Occasion-tier events and saves on per-event costs.
For Wedding Planners and Venues
Wedding photographers and event planners can offer Poolr as part of their service. The Pro Organiser plan (£9.99/mo or £89.99/yr) lets professionals run unlimited events and white-label the experience. Teams (£79/mo or £699/yr) adds multi-user collaboration for venues and large event companies. Both tiers include all premium features: live display, photobooks, audio guestbooks, and advanced analytics.
