Reaction wall

You choose which emojis guests get, and whether messages and photos show at once or wait for your approval.

Watch: Photos and the Reaction Wall (3:36) · All videos

This one video covers the photo challenge, the photo showdown and the reaction wall (and picking a looping background).

Reaction wall: set it up

The reaction wall lets guests send emoji reactions, short messages and photos to the TV. You choose which emojis they get, and whether messages and photos show at once, or only after you approve them.

Tip Give the step a looping video background, and the reactions play over it. See Backgrounds, music and media.

Add it to your show

It is one step in your Rundown, like any other game. Add it where you want it to play.

  1. Open the Rundown tab and press Add.
  2. Choose Reaction wall from the menu. It joins the end of the list and opens on the right.

Reactions float, messages slide

On the night, reactions float up the TV, and messages slide across it as guests send them.

Approve the photos

Photos can wait for your approval. A guest sends one, and it is held back, so nothing appears on the TV that you have not seen. On the Live tab, you see every photo waiting, and approve or reject each one. You can also pause the wall at any time.

Approve or reject each photo.

Once approved

Once approved, the photo pops up on the TV for everyone. Photos are held only while the show is running, so download the ones you want.
