Set up a Sharing Station

Open in

A Sharing Station is a second screen where guests find and send their own photos. The booth keeps capturing while they do it, so your queue keeps moving.

Note - A Sharing Station makes an event Pro.

Turn it on

Open your event and click Output.
Expand Sharing Station and switch it on.

Choose how guests can share

Method	Notes
Email	Sent by Pictor. Connect SendGrid under Integrations only to send from your own address
SMS	Sent by Pictor. Connect Twilio under Integrations only to send from your own number
QR code	Guests scan to get their photo
AirDrop	Native iOS booth only — a Sharing Station running in a browser cannot AirDrop
Print	Needs the Print Partner app connected

Enable any combination.

Important - If you are running the station in a browser, do not rely on AirDrop — it will not work there. Use QR code as the offline-friendly option instead.

Five methods. Two of them depend on what you are running the station on.

Write what guests see

Field	What it is
Title	The heading at the top of the station
Subtitle	A line under it
Body	Instructions for guests

Tip - Use the Body line to tell guests what to do — "Find your photo and tap it" beats leaving them to work it out at a busy event.

Brand it

Customize styles opens the appearance settings: background colour, title, subtitle and body colours, button colours, the share dialog's colours, font size and corner radius.

Background media sets an image or video behind the station, with separate Default, Desktop, Tablet and Mobile slots. "Device-specific slots fall back to Default."

Tip - Set the Default slot at minimum. The others are only worth doing if you know the station will run on a particular device shape.

The station picks up your event branding; this is where you adjust it.

Run it

Open your event's Launchpad.
In the Control panel, click Sharing Station.
Open it on the device you are using as the station.

Sessions appear automatically as guests use the booth.

Note - If a photo is still being generated, guests can still send it. They receive the finished version once it is ready.

Before the event

Run a Simulation test, open the Sharing Station, and send yourself a photo by each method you have enabled. Sharing methods fail quietly, and this is the only way to find out before a guest does.
