Screenshow

We want to be able to project a self-running screenshow of all photos in our photo contest. We have done this with PowerPoint in the past. Can we do it with PollUnit?

Yes, when you click on one of the images in the gallery, our Lightbox opens. The Lightbox offers various features that may help you:

• Enlarged high resolution preview
• Auto play
• Toggle votes
• Fullscreen
• Playback speed
• Loop mode

Some of these features are available through the context menu (the three dots) in the lower right corner.

I continue our discussion here in our forum, so other users get also help.

You asked:
"This partially resolves the issue. We will have photos in multiple categories. Is there any way to show all the photos together? I would also like the Subtitle and Creator to show on the screen, can this be done?"

If you have multiple categories, our slideshow does not mix them. This means the slideshow will only display images from the selected category. In this case, the easiest solution is to bulk-download all images and use a slideshow app on your operating system.

Alternatively, you could create a custom logic that automatically redirects between the different slideshow URLs using a JavaScript browser plugin. However, this is considered a more technical workaround.

Our Lightbox displays both the title and the optional subtitle (add-on) but not the creator name.
