Guest participation
Help your guests share their photos.
A visible QR code and a short explanation give guests a place to add their photos. They can join during the event or open the same link when they get home.
Here is how sharing works when the connection slows down or an upload is interrupted.
When guests upload photos
- The network drops mid-upload
Files upload in parts. If the connection drops, Medley can resume from the parts already received. Keep the originals on your phone until the upload is complete.
- Several guests uploading together
Files go directly to storage. Upload speed depends on the venue’s connection and the size of each file.
- Playing videos on other devices
Medley prepares a browser-friendly version after upload. This can take some time. The original stays available in the complete album download.
- Nothing for guests to install
The link opens the album in a browser. Guests enter a first name and choose their files. The WedShoots comparison explains the differences with a mobile app.
Viewing the album on a phone
- An album you can try
- Try the public example album on your phone to see how to browse and add photos.
- Space reserved for each photo
The gallery reserves room for thumbnails before they load, reducing layout movement while you browse.
- Images sized for the screen
The gallery uses lighter versions sized for the display. Original files remain available in the complete album download.
- Video quality follows the connection
The player adjusts video quality to the available connection. Internet access is still needed; try Wi-Fi or return later if reception is poor.
