Written by Martin Freiwald · Updated Jul 13, 2026This is where a Gathmo event begins. Creating one takes a few minutes: you name the event, pick its type, choose whether uploads appear straight away or after you review them, and you get a link and a QR code back. Nothing else is required before guests can use it.
The one step worth not skipping is the test run. Open your own QR code on your phone, upload a photo as a guest would, and check that it lands where you expect. Five minutes here is what stands between a working sign on the table and a problem you only notice on the night.
Two decisions are worth making before you create anything: which event type fits, and whether uploads should wait for your approval. Neither is permanent — moderation can be switched after the event exists, and the name, date and language can all change later — but knowing what you picked saves a puzzled moment when the first photo does not appear where you expected.
