# Running Live Feed

After you have customized the appearance of your Live Feed, the next step is projecting it at your event. This guide covers how to access your unique link, share it with staff or clients, and the best hardware to use for a smooth display.

***

### Accessing Your Live Feed

You can access your Live Feed link from two primary locations as long as you are signed in to your account:

* Within your [gallery](https://app.simplebooth.com/galleries) settings.
* Directly from the gallery page itself (top right corner)

***

### Sharing the Live Feed

There are two ways to share your Live Feed depending on whether you need to preserve specific layout and transition settings.

#### The Direct Link

In your [gallery](https://app.simplebooth.com/galleries) settings, the Live Feed panel includes a direct URL. Simply click the copy button to grab the link.

This link will preserve any advertisements you have uploaded (on eligible plans), but it will not maintain custom layout choices, transitions, or background colors.

#### Sharing with Custom Settings

If you want to send a link that already has your specific rows, columns, and transitions configured, follow these steps:

1. Open the **Live Feed** for your gallery.
2. Tap the **settings icon** in the top-right corner and adjust the configuration to your liking.
3. You will notice the URL in your address bar updates and gets longer with every change you make.
4. Once you are finished, copy the **entire URL** from your browser address bar. This "long link" can be shared and will maintain all your visual customizations.

### Projecting the Feed

The Live Feed runs in any web browser that supports JavaScript, offering a lot of flexibility for your venue setup.

#### Recommended Hardware

For the most reliable performance, we recommend running the Live Feed from a laptop and using a casting service like [AirPlay](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204289#mac) or [Chromecast](https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3228332?hl=en\&ref_topic=4602553), or a direct HDMI connection to your TV or projector.

#### Smart TVs

You can run the Live Feed directly from a [Smart TV's](/running-your-event/live-feed-slideshow/live-feed-on-smart-tvs.md) built-in web browser, though performance can vary depending on the TV’s processing power.

{% hint style="warning" %}
We do not recommend projecting the feed from a mobile device (like a smartphone). Mobile browsers often do not support the "Full Screen" mode required for a professional-looking slideshow.
