Use the event name and the date, like “Spring Launch, 14 May”. Guests should know what it is when it pops up in their browser history next week.
Add a two line description that says what the album is and what's in it for guests. Add your logo and brand colour if they're handy, or come back to it later.
Will the photos go in the recap only, on your socials or in an ad next spring? Each needs a different permission, and it's much easier to ask now than to chase 200 people later.
Guests see your content agreement before their first upload. Start from a template, from event only use to a full licence, or paste in your own. Pick the narrowest one that covers what you'll really do.
“Share your photos” is a blank page, and blank pages make people freeze. One specific idea gives them a job, like the best outfit or the crew you came with.
Pin that idea at the top of the album. You can swap it halfway through if it falls flat. Make it something fun to hunt for, like “the best view from the terrace”.
Nobody wants to go first. Add three to five photos before anyone sees the album, like the setup, the venue or a team selfie.
If you've booked a photographer, plan for their shots of guests to go in during the event. Photos of people are what guests come looking for.

A detailAsk three people with different phones, ideally an iPhone, an Android and an older one, to scan the QR. Watch without helping, because wherever they hesitate, guests will too.
Have each tester add a photo and a short video from their camera roll, with no app or account. If both show up in your album, you're done and can go get ready.

Three bits of copy for setup day. Swap in your details.
“The shared album for everyone at [event name]. Find your photos from the day and add your own photos and videos. No app, no account.”
“First mission: show us the crew you came with. Bonus points if someone's laughing.”
“Quick favour! Can you scan this, add any photo and a short video, and tell me if anything was confusing? I owe you a drink.”
Give it a clear name, one photo idea and a few starter photos, then put the QR code where people stand still. Guests open it in their browser with no app and no account.
Yes. Photos and short clips from their camera roll land in the same album.
It depends on the content agreement you pick. Guests see it before their first upload, and you can choose a template or use your own wording.
At least a day before, so you can test it on other people's phones and print the QR. Setup takes about ten minutes.
About a week. Lots of guests only go through their camera roll a few days later.
