# Bluetooth Remote Compatibility

We support using clicker remotes that send a volume plus signal to the iPad. This will initiate the photo countdown instead of tapping the screen. Guests will need to interact with the screen to advance through the edit and sharing screens after their pictures are taken.

Here is one we have used. ​Not all bluetooth remotes will work with our apps.

#### Settings Limitations <a href="#h_ad9cb45a7c" id="h_ad9cb45a7c"></a>

The following "pre-capture" adjustments require participants to interact with the iPad's screen before taking their photo(s). If you'd prefer to minimize interaction with the iPad before capture, these settings should be avoided.
