What is it?

The new Touchless Sharing is a module that allows your participants to retrieve the output videos / photos from their smartphone without having to touch your sharing station. It works with a relay server which requires no configuration.

Where to find it?

There are two ways of displaying the touchless share module.

1. From a browser: the new /share page (accessible from the web-menu) shows the last X shots (first one always on the top-right corner). From there, your participants simply have to scan the QR code using their smartphone, and that is going to open a sharing form in a mobile browser.
2. From the dashboard: there is also an option to show this module directly from the dashboard. To activate this, go in the Settings / Dashboard and check the "share" module.

In both cases, you have access to a couple of options (from Settings / Sharing)

• By default, we show the last 4 shots (top right corner is the most recent). You can change that value to fit your current event
• The QR code can be placed on the right side, inside the media, or in a popup overlay.
• The preview can be either the delivery output (mp4), or the thumbnail image. Displaying the thumbnail is much less heavy for your computer.
• Multiple elements can be selected at the same time (with a limit set by the operator)

Share by direct download

Here’s a very neat way to allow direct download from your local computer to the participant smartphone without the need of connecting to your wifi. In this mode, the participant scans the QR code on your screen, then a spinner appears on the smartphone while the file is being transferred from your server to your cloud service (Cloudinary or BunnyCDN). You’ll need to subscribe to one of these services to have access to the direct download module. You can configure it from Settings/Sharing:

Share by download

All media can be downloaded from the user’s smartphone without entering any email address. This works on iphone too! In case of multiple selection from the sharing station, all items are going to be displayed on the smartphone

Share by email

You can customize the email sharing form as demonstrated below. As usual, you can create your custom fields and agreement checkboxes. This is going to follow on the mobile form and on the usual sharing form.

Form colors

From the dashboard, you can change the colors of the form by going in the UI (user interface) panel (Scroll at the bottom of this module)

Additional details

• There's no configuration required to use this module (email method). Simply open the /share form and you're good to go. You need to keep that page open to keep the module alive.
• The QR code is clickable to directly share from the tablet where it is running (in case your participant is unable to scan the code)
• An internet connection is required at all time.
• We don't store any data on the relay server.
• The emails are still being sent from your local server (the software that you are running locally). That means that the media should be shared before you close the software
