Crowdpurr Social Walls are a fun and interactive way to allow your crowd to participate in the buzz of your event by posting messages and photos to a centralized "wall" that you display for everyone in your crowd to see. The Social Wall steadily circulates and adds new posts as they are sent to keep the buzz of your event going. The more the crowd sees it, the more they'll want to join in on the fun!

How Do Crowdpurr Social Walls Work?

Crowdpurr's Social Walls allow your crowd to post using X, Instagram, or on the web using Crowdpurr's web app for those who don't have X or Instagram accounts. Your crowd simply tags their post with your event's hashtag that you specify and the Social Wall takes care of the rest!

The Social Wall will query X and Instagram every few minutes to bring in any new tweets or posts that feature your event's hashtag. Alternatively, your crowd can simply go to crowd.live in their web browser and use the Crowdpurr web app to add messages and photos to the Social Wall.

Using a #hashtag or @username

To enable X and Instagram integration on your Social Wall, simply input a #hashtag or @username for your event. Then any tweets or posts from your crowd mentioning the #hashtag or @username you entered will be posted to your wall automatically.

X and Instagram Integration Status. As of January 2025, X and Instagram functionality is temporarily disabled due to API changes; however, our development team is working on restoring these integrations.

Using the Crowdpurr Web App

If you don't wish to integrate your Social Wall with X or Instagram, your crowd and simply visit crowd.live in a web browser and enter your Social Wall's Experience Code. Your crowd will be able to post messages and upload photos with their device without needing to be a member of any social networking app.

Approving and Editing Posts

Crowdpurr Social Walls offer full post-approval and moderation regardless of the source of the post. Before any posts are added to your Social Wall you have the option to approve or reject them or even edit them in order to make them public-friendly for your Social Wall. To learn more, check out Reviewing & Approving Incoming Social Wall Posts.

All incoming Social Wall posts can be approved, rejected, or edited by the host before being published live.

Presenting the Social Wall At Your Event

Your Social Wall comes alive before your crowd's eyes using Crowdpurr's Presentation View. The Presentation View opens in a regular desktop web browser tab. It can then be shown in Full-Screen mode on an external projector or HDTV screen - similar to a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation.

With the Presentation View, your Social Wall will automatically update with the latest tweets and posts. The Social Wall will continuously circulate your posts and has several display layout options that will organize your posts into an ever-changing mosaic or show your posts one by one in a full-screen "spotlight" mode or both.
