With the Photo booth you’ll encourage participants to share their best moments, run a contest for the most interesting shot, and build a community around the event, while protecting their privacy at the same time (photos stay in the app’s closed ecosystem, and not on public Facebook). 💡 Don’t let those photos go to waste! Encourage participants to actively add pics (for example by announcing a contest with prizes from the stage or via a PUSH notification). After the event, download the full pack of photos and turn them into a souvenir collage, a summary video or a photo mosaic that you’ll send to participants in an email thanking them for taking part. It’s **fantastic and free marketing material**! ## **How to set up the gallery and its welcome page** To launch the module, go to the admin panel and open **Create → Content → Component list** and add the **Event Gallery** module to the app menu. Then click the added module visible on the left side of the screen and configure its **Welcome Screen**. This is a really important step – this screen will be shown to every participant when they first open the gallery and it will set the tone for the whole fun. **What’s worth putting on the welcome screen?** - **Title:** A short and catchy tagline (e.g. _"Let’s build an album from this trip together!"_). - **Description:** Explain the purpose of the gallery. Build context and encourage people to join in. If you’re running a contest for the photo with the most likes – make sure to write the rules and prize here! - **Graphic:** Add an attractive illustration or graphic that matches the visual identity of your event (e.g. with a camera theme) to make the welcome screen look more appealing. > **Info:** A participant can always come back to this welcome screen in the app by clicking the “i” icon in the top right corner of the module. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/X5B2M6IJ0C9YMGAtudvqFkCUwxR0wFjTeqG0sNuQguASi0gead5FDKeav27eOvCzeu27jRgKpa1.png) ## **Reporting photos** For events with a large number of participants, constantly monitoring the gallery by the organizer can be difficult. The photobooth has a built-in self‑moderation mechanism. In the admin panel (in the **Create → Content → Event Gallery** tab) you’ll find a toggle: **Hide photos that have more than 3 reports**. If you turn it on: - Participants will be able to report photos they consider inappropriate or violating netiquette. - A photo reported by 3 different people will be **automatically hidden** in the app for other users. - The photo is not permanently removed from the database, just hidden – as an admin you still have access to it and you make the final decision. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/zhJPSKStbq48xqxNuGvzbfkzzrahZy5PC41mmcdlcwNB1JclADZRZ9nFydkfgjOz9qFajqqRvcd.png) ## **How to download photos – admin panel** During the event and after it ends, you can fully manage all collected material. 1. Go to the **Manage** tab → **Event Gallery**. 2. **Sorting and browsing:** Here you’ll find a list of all added photos. You can sort them by, among others: - Author name (A-Z or Z-A) - Submission time (from oldest / from newest) - Number of likes (from max to min – perfect for quickly picking the winner of a photo contest!). 3. **Downloading the package:** In the top right corner there is a **DOWNLOAD** button. After you click it, the system will pack all collected photos into a single `.zip` file and start downloading it. > **Info:** If participants were very active at the event and added hundreds of photos, preparing the .zip file may take a while. Be patient! ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/bgmF0ga59lWwwClfYTrSAMwHBUpRDfqic67Zgnz0vhM0f1aMMcb8x8uoiZN2pTJR6lkIW57Lra8.png) ## **Participant perspective - mobile app** From the participant's perspective, using the Photo Booth is extremely simple and intuitive, similar to popular social media apps. 1. **Login requirement:** To be able to browse, add photos, and give likes, the participant must be logged into the app. 2. **Adding a photo:** The user clicks the “+” icon in the bottom right corner of the module. 3. **Camera or phone gallery:** The app will ask for the photo source. The participant can take a **new photo with the camera** directly from the app (great for capturing the “here and now” moment) or **choose an already taken photo from the private gallery** on their phone. 4. **Interactions:** Added photos appear on a shared timeline, where other participants can browse and like them. > **Success:** The liking option lets you run a contest, for example for the best costume during a comic convention. The author of the photo with the highest number of likes can get a prize from the organizer or sponsor. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/uSo9B9YcATCdaYjkkCBTtrxR3k70op2AAV5gsy5OUgCfuu2usAEJfx6dAfKNV7T94wj3664PdF4.png) 5. **Deleting your own photos:** If the author decides they want to delete their photo, they can do it at any time. Just click on the photo, then on the three-dots icon in the top right corner and choose the delete option. 6. **Reporting another author’s photos**: After clicking on the three dots in the app, the user can report another author’s photo if they consider it inappropriate. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/FnJJ1DJhvHsgjvfiqrEXpupmNqMwOo6ihR7wIy4hFhryE3au39IZrK2A5kFtfBXzt8c8SYYeHPR.png) ## **Have a great event with Meeting Application!**
