What is the most reliable setup?

A laptop connected by HDMI with a wired internet connection. Smart TV browsers vary in quality and are harder to fix mid-event.

Does it need to stay online?

Yes, to pull new photos as they arrive.

Can the venue set it up?

Usually. Send them the slideshow URL in advance and ask them to test it on the actual screen.

What if it stops during the event?

Reload the page. This is a good job to hand to [a co-host](/help/manage-your-gallery/invite-a-cohost) rather than doing it yourself.

Can I show the photo wall on a TV or projector?

Q: Can I show the photo wall on a TV or projector?

Yes. The photo wall is a web page, so anything with a browser can display it: a laptop plugged into a TV over HDMI, a smart TV's own browser, or a projector connected to a laptop. Open the slideshow URL, put the browser in full screen, and leave it running.
