Launching the Social Wall Projector View

The Projector View for your Social Wall is what displays all of your live curated posts in one giant centralized display that your entire crowd sees at your event. Your crowd can peruse all various messages and photos that others have shared.

The Projector View will cycle all of your published Social Media posts in a neatly designed grid. It also displays the instructions for how your crowd accesses your Trivia Game on their mobile devices.

Open the Projector View

To open the Projector View click on the large purple "Projector View" button under the "Control Center" heading on the Experience Dashboard. The Projector View will open in a new browser tab. This browser tab can be detached and then dragged to the projector desktop of your computer.

Check Out Those Cats!

Notice we have a few #cats posts already posted on our Social Wall? That's because we enabled Twitter and Instagram, set a popular hashtag, and started our Social Wall which triggers active querying.

Set the Projector View to Full-Screen Mode

After opening the Projector View in a new browser tab, you'll detach the browser tab and move it to a desktop on your computer that is connected to a projector, HDTV, or other display source. These are often connected to your computer's external display ports via HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc.

Once the projector is showing the Projector View's browser tab, click the "Full Screen" button in the lower-right-hand corner of the Projector View. This will put the Projector View into the full-screen presentation mode. You should do this bit of setup before your audience arrives at your event.

Why Don't I See Any Cat Posts On My Projector View?

You may or may not see any cats posts on your Projector View. If you haven't started your Social Wall, Crowdpurr will not query Twitter or Instagram for Tweets and posts. If you did start your Social Wall, you probably see some posts. If not, give it a second and check that you have Twitter and Instagram enabled, with the #cats hashtag saved. If you still don't see any posts, email [email protected]

Your audience is now ready to see posts get published to your Social Wall. The Projector View will show appropriate messages based on if your Social Wall is in the "Ready" state, or the "Live" state, or the "Finished" state.
