How United Lenses works
1. Set up
Sign up once to build your page. On your page, tap Create My Event, enter the details, and tap Save Event. Your new event button appears directly below. Packages are $49.99 and $79.99. Both are free during our testing period.
2. Invite
Download or share your event's unique QR code. Guests scan it and open their event camera right in their browser.
3. Celebrate
Guests use the United Lenses shutter to take pictures that upload automatically. Video-package guests can record clips of up to 1 minute, which automatically upload when recording stops. Guests can also upload existing media during the 24-hour window. Only the event owner can view or download the uploaded files. Only the event owner can open and download the private gallery.
Frequently asked questions
How does the party camera work?
Guests scan the event QR code and see the camera immediately. The browser asks for camera permission when the event is live. Each tap of TAKE PHOTO automatically sends that picture to the private gallery, and the Photo + Video package adds a video mode. The video automatically stops after 1 minute and uploads when recording ends. Keep the page open until each upload finishes; use RETRY if the internet connection drops.
Does the home-screen shortcut take pictures on its own?
No. It opens your specific event camera page. The guest taps the shutter or record button after allowing camera permission. The phone cannot operate the camera while locked or in the background.
Do guests need accounts?
No. Guests use the private QR invitation link to take or upload photos. Only the event owner can view or download the gallery.
Can I book months ahead?
Yes. Your event opens automatically at its scheduled start time.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. To save the event shortcut on iPhone, use Safari's Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android, use the install option where supported.
Are guests and uploads really unlimited?
Yes. There is no guest-count or upload-count cap, but each photo must be 25 MB or smaller. In the Photos + Videos package, each video must be 1 minute or shorter AND 250 MB or smaller. Videos are not allowed in the photo-only package.
Does United Lenses automatically delete photos after 30 days?
Gallery access ends after 30 days. Permanent file-deletion rules have not been activated during testing; contact the administrator about stored media.
Is there a payment required?
All packages are free during testing.
