How to show Instagram photos on screen for events

Whether on a second screen like a slide show or projected on a big screen for adding an interactive element to your event, the photo-sharing phenomena of Instagram can be much bigger than the tiny screen of a mobile smartphone. Here’s the web apps (aka websites) that can show photos from Instagram, in an auto-advanced slide-show fashion:

  • socialpulp.com – “an interactive installation fed by Instagram and Twitter. It’s hashtag based, moderated and updated by users in real time.” [$$]
  • socialscreen.us – “a real-time social media feed perfectly formatted for your screen” for Instagram photos and Twitter updates (tweets) with #hashtag [free + paid]
  • tintup.com – “Display and Embed any Social Feeds on your website” [$$$]
  • hashslider.com – the real-time Instagram photo slider [$] (a limited free version available)
  • tweetbeam.com – live Instagram wall for events [free + paid]
  • strea.ma – Bring your audience’s social media conversations and images into one place [$$]
  • sharypic.com – Collect, broadcast and print your event’s tweets, photos & videos [$$]
  • slidesome.com – enhance your event with a live slideshow [free + paid]
  • https://taggbox.com – A powerful social media aggregator to curate and display the social media content [$$]

NOTE: Since January 2, 2016, Instagram enforced an approval process for applications, and that broke some of the services above; then in late 2018, the deprecation of Instagram API Platform.

Aside

cf. on Quora – How do I stream Instagram photos on my tv/monitor/larger screen as a running feed? Does this work for geo-tagging and hashtag streaming as well?

Know any others? I’d love to be able to display my Instagram home feed in an auto-scrolling fashion on a second screen…
