How Event Mode collects guest photos for badges
A photo badge maker in this studio is Event Mode. The host creates an event, the guest opens the event link in a phone browser, and the host places a photo on the badge. Photos stay 48 hours.
- Feature: Event Mode
- Guest URL pattern: /event/:eventId
- That guest URL: noindex
