The Photo Wall is an activity that lets you open or close your session in a fun way. Your audience sends selfies of themselves or images related to the title or question of your activity, which are displayed live on your screen as a wall of photos. The photos scroll randomly for as long as the activity is open. Once it's closed, you can view a mosaic with all the photos sent, which you can then share.
