# Sharing Access With Participants

A QR code and URL that opens your booth will be automatically generated in your Preset settings. Participants can scan the QR code, or use your link to start snapping photos.

Manage booth access from the **Participant Access Panel**.

***

#### Starting & Stopping Your Event

You can start or stop your event anytime. When the booth is **turned off**, participants won’t be able to upload more photos.

\
If your gallery is public, or if you run out of credits while using a feature that requires them, they’ll see a *“Booth Closed”* message with a link to your gallery page.

***

#### Ways to Share

Not sure what to do with your QR code or capture link? Try one of these easy sharing methods:

**Email**

* Add your event link to a button or hyperlink text. Most email editors include simple button tools for this.
* You can also upload your QR code image and include it directly in your message.

**Website or Social Media**

* Add a button or banner on your website that links to your Virtual Booth.
* Post your QR code image or event link on social platforms or digital signage to boost visibility.

**Printed Signage**

* For in-person or hybrid events, print your QR code and display it around the venue so guests can join easily.

{% hint style="info" %}
Include a short call to action like “Snap a photo here!” or “Join our virtual booth!” next to your link or QR code.
{% endhint %}

#### Launching Virtual Booth

Before going live, double-check the following:

1. **Credits** – Make sure you have enough credits available for your event.  Monitor your credits during the event; you can always purchase a credit block if you get low or run out. 
2. **Sharing Assets** – Confirm your gallery link and QR code are ready to share.
3. **Event Status** – Confirm your booth is open in the Participant Access Panel.
4. **Wrap-Up** – When your event ends, return to the same panel and close your booth.
