Do guests need to do anything special to appear on the photo wall?

No — any photo uploaded to the shared gallery through the QR code automatically appears on the live wall. There's no separate upload step.

Does the photo wall need constant internet at the venue?

It needs a working connection (wifi or a mobile hotspot) to keep pulling new uploads, the same as the gallery itself needs for guests to upload.

Can we moderate what shows up on the photo wall?

Since the wall displays the shared gallery, anything uploaded there will appear on it — most couples find that's part of the charm, but it's worth setting expectations with your wedding party if that's a concern.

What equipment do we actually need for a live photo wall?

Just a screen or projector and a device to run the gallery's live view in a browser — most venues already have a TV or projector available to use or rent.
