Local QR Codes for Offline Sharing

Updated this week

In some events, it might be difficult or impossible to have your booth connected to the internet. To allow guests to get their photos and videos in this scenario, dslrBooth offers Local QR codes for offline sharing. On the sharing screen, the generated QR Code will link to the booth computer instead of fotoShare Cloud. Guests can download their videos and photos directly from your booth over Wifi by scanning a QR Code. This requires guests to be on the same wifi network.
