# Live Feed Customizations Once you have opened your Live Feed link from your [gallery](https://app.simplebooth.com/galleries) settings, you can tailor the display to match your event’s branding and environment. *** #### Photo Customizations * **Number of Pictures Displayed**: Choose how many photos from your gallery will rotate through the Live Feed. You can display anywhere from the 25 most recent photos up to 1,000. * **Featured Photos**: Toggle this on to highlight individual pictures. When a new photo is taken, it will briefly appear full-screen before the Live Feed continues its normal rotation. *** #### Photo Transitions Customize how your images move and refresh to create the right energy for your event. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Refresh Mode" %} * **Cascade**: All photos in your grid cycle in a smooth succession, starting from the top left and finishing at the bottom right. * **Individual**: Each photo refreshes one at a time in sequence. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Visual Effect" %} Choose the animation style for your transitions: * **Scale**: Photos shrink to disappear and new ones expand into place. * **Rotate**: Pictures flip or rotate into the feed. * **Slide**: Photos slide horizontally into position. * **Fade**: Pictures move in and out with a smooth transparency transition. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Delay" %} The delay pauses the feed after a cycle or photo refresh. The options available depend on your chosen Refresh Mode: * **End of Cycle Delay**: Pauses the entire feed after all photos in the grid have refreshed. * **Delay Between Photos**: Determines how long the feed waits before moving to the next specific photo in the grid. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} *** #### Layout Customizations Adjust the grid to fit your screen size and event theme perfectly. * **Auto Layout**: Automatically calculates the optimal number of rows and columns based on your screen dimensions. * **Manual Layout**: Disable Auto Layout to specifically choose the number of rows and columns displayed. * **Background Color**: Use the color picker to match your branding, or select from colors already defined in your [gallery](https://app.simplebooth.com/galleries) settings. *** #### Ads *Available on Plus, Pro, and Select plans.* Advertisements allow you to display full-screen slides between Live Feed cycles. Use these to highlight sponsors, promote your brand, or share special announcements. * **Cycles Between Ads**: Choose how frequently an ad appears (e.g., after every cycle or every few cycles). * **Ads Per Cycle**: Decide if all your uploaded ads play in a row or if they rotate one at a time. * **Ad Duration**: Set how long static images (JPEG/PNG/GIF) stay on screen. MP4 videos will play for their full duration regardless of this setting. **Uploading Ads** Upload your advertisements from your gallery settings page (not the Live Feed page). * Recommended size: 1,920x1,080px. * Maximum file size is 6MB. PNG, JPEG, and GIF files are supported. *** #### Tips & Tricks for Performance Live Feed is a resource-intensive feature. If you are using a lower-powered device to project the feed, follow these tips to ensure a smooth experience: * **Limit Mixed Media**: Avoid mixing high-resolution video, GIFs, and stills in the same feed if your hardware is lagging. * **Simplify Transitions**: If you are using the "Rebound" layout in your [preset](https://app.simplebooth.com/presets), avoid using the Cascade refresh mode, as the rapid loading can be taxing. * **Increase Delays**: Using a smaller grid (fewer rows/columns) and increasing the delay between photos helps the feed load more reliably on weak internet connections. * **Browser Optimization**: If using Google Chrome, ensure "Hardware Acceleration" is enabled in your browser settings (Settings > Advanced > System). * **Clear Background Tasks**: Close other browser tabs and programs on your computer to dedicate maximum resources to the Live Feed. *** {% hint style="success" %} ## Plan Availability **Standard Customizations** :white\_check\_mark: Lite, Core, Plus, Pro, Select **Live Feed Ads** :white\_check\_mark: Plus, Pro, Select :x: Lite, Core {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
