Live Photo Stream 4 Tips

Live Photo Stream Equipment Needed

Let's get started

First, it's a good idea to see how Live Photo Stream works. To do this, take out your laptop (not on your phone), log into your TacBoard account and click the "Live" button. You should then see a version of your gallery that scrolls automatically and displays your gallery's phone number at the top. If you don't already have photos in your gallery, text a few to the phone number on the screen so you can see them pop onto your screen. Don't worry, you can delete these test photos at any time.

Now that you've seen your Live Photo Stream in action, let's set it up.

What You'll Need

TV / Projector & HDMI Cable

If you don't have a TV, projector or HDMI cable ask your DJ.

Laptop with Modern Browser

Make sure you have a modern browser like Chrome or Safari.

Wi-Fi in Venue

Confirm adequate Wi-Fi will be provided by your DJ or venue.

How to Setup

Once you have everything you need, set up is simple.

1 Open Your TacBoard Live Photo Stream

Click "log in" at tacboard.com

Log in

Click on your gallery's name

Click the "Live" button

2 Hook Laptop to TV / Projector

Get your HDMI cable.

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the laptop.

Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the TV or projector.

Turn on the tv/projector and make sure the correct input is selected.

Now you're all set up and ready to go.

Your friends, family and guests can now begin texting photos to your gallery's phone number and those photos will instantly start scrolling on your Live Photo Stream. This means more fun for your guests and more photos from your event!

  6. Make sure your browser zoom is set to 100%. If it is not, it will not infinitely scroll in a continuous loop and will stop at the bottom after one time. Follow the directions below to adjust your zoom.

    On Windows: You can adjust the page zoom in Google Chrome by pressing the associated hot keys for your operating system. To adjust the page zoom with the keyboard in Windows, press and hold the "Ctrl" key, and then press the "-" (zoom out) or "+" (zoom in) keys on the keyboard.

    NOTE: If your Live Photo Stream continues to stop at the bottom of the page and your screen is at 100% please try 110%. There is a few screen sizes which require the zoom to be at 110%.
