The live wall is a web page. Open it on any laptop or computer connected to your screen, and it updates by itself all night.

Open the wall

  1. Connect the laptop to the TV, projector or LED screen with an HDMI cable (or cast it).
  2. Sign in to Pixloud on the laptop and open your event.
  3. Click Open live wall at the top of the event page. You can also copy the Live wall link from Overview and open it in any browser; no sign-in is needed for that link.
  4. Press F11 (Windows) or Ctrl + Cmd + F (Mac) for full screen.

Use a smart TV with a 4-digit code

No laptop? Most smart TVs and streaming sticks have a web browser.

  1. On the TV, open the browser and go to pixloud.app/tv. The screen shows a 4-digit code.
  2. On your phone, open your event and go to Overview → Screens.
  3. Enter the code (and a name like *Main hall TV* if you like), then tap Add a screen.
  4. The TV opens your wall by itself within a few seconds. Steps for each TV brand: Show the wall on your TV.

How many screens you can use

Each TV, projector or browser window showing your wall uses one screen (two windows on one laptop count as two): Free 1, Essential 2, Signature 5 (events on a monthly plan also get 5).

  • Opening the wall link on a new screen adds it while a screen is free. When all are in use, the extra screen shows *All screens are in use*.
  • To swap screens, tap Remove next to a screen under Overview → Screens. Its slot frees straight away.
  • A screen that's switched off for 10 minutes gives its slot back by itself, so a TV that restarts keeps working.
  • Checking the wall on your phone is free: when you're signed in as the event's host or team, one window of yours doesn't use a screen. A second window of yours counts as a normal screen.
  • On Signature you can tap + Add another screen for $10 each, up to 20 screens per event.

Match the wall to the screen

  1. Go to Look & feel → Wall Screen Size.
  2. Choose Automatic, TV (about 6 photos at once), Projector (about 12), Stage LED wall (about 24) or Stadium / giant LED (about 48).
  3. Click Save Screen Size. Open walls pick up changes within 10 seconds.

How the wall behaves

  • It checks for new approved posts every 10 seconds.
  • Each newly approved photo shows big for a few seconds, then joins the rotation. Every approved post gets a turn.
  • Featured posts come round about twice as often.
  • If the internet drops, the wall keeps showing what it already has and catches up when the connection returns.
Important

Turn off sleep and screen savers on the laptop, and keep it plugged in. A sleeping laptop is the most common cause of a blank wall.

Tip

Use a wired connection or a phone hotspot for the wall laptop if the venue Wi-Fi is busy.
