Crowd Pics Page

A social feed page set up as a photo wall: everyone posts, laid out as a grid.

Written by Cyril Fluck

A Crowd Pics page is a photo wall. Your attendees post pictures and videos from their phones during the event, and they appear as a grid rather than a list of posts.

It is a Social Feed page that starts with different settings.

Yapp on a phone showing a Crowd Pics page: attendee photos laid out as a grid of tiles.

When you add one, it starts out like this:

  • Everyone who has your app can post

  • Photos and video thumbnails are laid out as a grid

  • Comments and likes are off

  • A notification goes out when somebody posts

Comments being off is what makes it read as a gallery rather than a conversation. All four are settings you can change, and to see them all in one place read our Getting Started with Social Feed Pages Guide.

Adding a Crowd Pics page

Go to Add Page in the Editor and choose Crowd Pics.

What your attendees do

They post from the Yapp app on their phone, and they can save any photo from the page to their own device. Follow these instructions, or send them the attendee guide.

Letting people comment after all

If you would rather the page worked as a conversation than a gallery, turn comments on by following these instructions.

Keeping the photos afterwards

You can export every photo and video posted to the page, rather than saving them one at a time. Follow these instructions.

Videos work here too

Please note: a Crowd Pics page is not photos only, despite the name. Attendees can post video on apps whose creator is on a Core or Team plan, up to 5 minutes per video, and it appears as a thumbnail in the grid that plays when tapped.

If you are planning a photo wall for an event and expect people to film as well as photograph, this is worth knowing before you choose a plan. The limits are in Video on social feed pages.
