How PartyPal Works: Live TV Slideshows in 4 Simple Steps
Turn any celebration into an interactive shared experience. No apps to download for your guests, and zero complicated equipment needed.
Step 1: Create a Party
Name your event and choose your privacy settings. Get your unique party code and custom printable QR code in 30 seconds.
Step 2: Share Code with Friends
Place table QR cards at wedding tables, print them for your bar, or share the party code with friends over text and social media.
Step 3: Add Pictures and Videos
Guests point their phone cameras at the code. No app install required — they upload photos, videos, and greetings straight from their browser.
Step 4: Then See them Play
New uploads appear instantly in the live TV slideshow. Relive every moment during the event, and download your favorite full-resolution photos and videos on the web or save the entire album with the mobile app.
Step 5: Play your Party on your TV
