Why guests do not need to download an app
An app that guests must install asks for an app store visit and storage space in the middle of a party. Candid Cam runs in the phone’s browser, so the QR code opens the upload page at once.
Download-first app
Find the app in the app store, install it, then join your wedding inside the app.
Shared drive link
With an open shared folder, anyone with the link can see every upload as soon as it lands.
Candid Cam
Scan the QR code and upload in the browser. Uploads stay private until you approve them.
