Questions,
answered.
How many attendees can it handle?
Thousands. The matching pipeline runs on AWS and scales with the crowd, from a few hundred up to 5,000+ attendees.
What’s in it for sponsors?
Their branding rides on every gallery attendees open and re-share, a measurable, opt-in branded moment that travels onto attendees’ own feeds.
Do attendees need to download an app?
No app, no account, no password. A QR on the screens, signage and wristbands opens a WhatsApp chat, they send one selfie, and their photos arrive in the same chat with a link to their personal gallery.
When do attendees get their photos?
Automatically: as photographers upload and faces match, photos are delivered to WhatsApp day by day across the festival. No one is manually sending anything.
Is it private and POPIA-compliant?
Yes: SnapStream is consent-first. Every attendee opts in before any face matching happens, their face data is used only for photo matching, and they can type delete at any time to erase it. See our privacy policy.
