TV mode
Show the whole group’s photos on the TV
Mirroring a phone to the TV works for one person. As soon as five friends want to show their photos, you pass the phone around, switch connections, start again. TV mode fixes that.
The usual options and their limits
Screen mirroring (AirPlay, Chromecast, Miracast) shows one phone at a time, with its notifications on top. A USB stick means gathering everything on one device first. A shared album opened on the TV needs someone driving with the remote.
Kliche’s TV mode
Open the album on a screen connected to the TV (a computer over HDMI, or the TV’s own browser), then press “Switch to TV mode”. The screen follows the session:
- the shared photo shows alone, full size;
- new photos are announced as soon as they arrive;
- an upload QR code stays in a corner: a guest scans it, picks their photos, and they join the album;
- captions show in large type;
- the screen stays on during the session.
Who is in control?
Nobody needs the remote. Everyone opens the album on their phone and moves to the next photo, or swipes: the TV follows. Cursors and drawings made on the phones appear on the photo.
And those who are not in the living room?
They open the same link at home and see the same photo at the same moment. The living room and the friends far away watch together.
Put everyone’s photos on the big screen.
Create the album, open TV mode, and everyone sends theirs.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app on the TV?
No. TV mode opens in a browser: the TV’s own, or a computer plugged in over HDMI.
Do the photos look good on a big screen?
Yes. JPEG, PNG and WebP are sent in original quality, without recompression; iPhone HEIC photos are converted to high-quality JPEG.
Do guests need an account to send their photos?
Each member has a personal QR code: their phone sends without signing in again, and the photos arrive under their name.
