Snappic has created an easy-to-use, customisable slideshow feature that allows you to stream images to a TV or projector at your events.
The solution can be run in a browser or downloaded as an app on your laptop. Just make sure your event has the Microsite feature enabled.
You will need:
A stable internet connection
A laptop or tablet
Important Notes:
You can set up a Slideshow for both pro and enterprise events. However, since the Microsite add-on for pro events is not included, you'll need to purchase it as an add-on
Please note that the dropdown list for your event options on the slideshow pulls events considered 'live', so if the start date is in the future, it will not show on the list. The 'Client Slideshow Link' can bypass this. But you won't be able to set up the advanced settings tab in this case. It will need to be adjusted once the event is live.
Login to Slideshow
Firstly, ensure you have enabled your event's "Microsite" feature. Then, you should see a "Slideshow 2.0" section. Click on "Login" to access your slideshow settings.

Including:

Advanced Settings
12. Settings Are Editable - Indicate if you would like the slideshow settings to be accessed and editable by your clients when they log in with the Slideshow Code.
Starting your Slideshow
Once you are done with your slideshow settings, click "Start Slideshow" and ensure you are happy with the artwork and configurations.
To exit the slideshow view, click the back arrow in the browser or hover your mouse in the top right corner, and a red "X" will appear.
How to send your client the slideshow link
Option 1
Send Client Slideshow Link
Click the "Copy Link" button under the "Slideshow 2.0" section or "Copy Client Link" on the Slideshow settings page (see images below).
This will copy the slideshow link so you can paste it into an email or message to your client. They will then be able to open this link in their browser.
Option 2
Send Event Code
If your client already has access to the slideshow URL, you can just send them the "Event Code" displayed under the Slideshow 2.0 section.
Installing the Slideshow App
You can use the browser slideshow or install the app by following the steps below.
Click the icon at the top right of the browser and then click the "install" button.
You can now access the Slideshow app on your laptop whenever necessary.
Slideshow Quick access panel
Once the Slideshow has started, you can still access all of the settings by closing the slideshow, but if you need to disable Still, GIF, and Videos or adjust the size of the top logo, it will show on top of the browser window.
