Show Photos on TV From Your Phone or Laptop

Choose the pictures. Put them on TV. Start the slideshow.

Your selected photos fill the TV. Your phone stays available for everything else.

Get the result

  1. Open vuthis.com in the TV browser.
  2. Scan the display's QR code with your phone, or enter its code at vuthis.com/r from a laptop or tablet.
  3. Choose Photos, select your pictures and tap Show now.
  4. Use the photo controls to change pictures, or turn Slideshow on to advance automatically.
  5. Choose Fit to keep the whole picture visible or Fill for an edge-to-edge display.

Make it easy to repeat

Keep a selected set for family photos, a trip recap, a club gathering or a meeting. The display receives the content you choose rather than a live copy of your whole phone or desktop. The controller and display can use different internet connections.

Fit or Fill: choose how the pictures look

Fit keeps the complete photograph visible, which is useful for portraits, group shots and images with important detail near the edges. Fill uses the screen edge to edge and can crop part of the photograph. Check a portrait and a landscape picture before starting the slideshow.

Use a phone at home or a laptop for a prepared collection

For a family gathering or travel slideshow, select the pictures already on your phone. For an event, club evening or portfolio review, prepare a folder on your laptop so you can choose the set quickly.

The display shows the pictures you select. It is not a live mirror of your whole desktop, which keeps your other work and tabs on the controlling device.

What if the TV has no usable browser?

Open the display page in a browser on a computer or suitable browser-capable device already connected to the TV. Then connect your phone or laptop using the screen code. The display and controller both need internet access; shared Wi-Fi pairing is not required.
