Using the Selfie Cam admin console

September 11, 2023

Live sporting events are some of the most electric experiences in the world. The roar of the crowd, the tension of the match, the shared euphoria of a last-minute winner — there's nothing quite like it. But in an increasingly digital age, fans expect more than just the game. They want to be part of the show.

That's where fan-cam activations come in. By putting fans on the big screen, you turn passive spectators into active participants — and create the kind of shareable moments that extend your event's reach long after the final whistle.

What is a fan-cam activation?

A fan-cam activation is a live event feature where attendees can take selfies that are displayed on stadium screens in real time. Fans scan a QR code displayed around the venue, snap a photo, and moments later see themselves up on the big screen alongside thousands of other supporters.

No app download required. No complicated setup. Just a QR code, a camera, and a crowd ready to perform.

Why it works

Fan-cams tap into something fundamental about the live event experience: people want to feel seen. When fans spot themselves on a 30-foot screen surrounded by 50,000 cheering supporters, that moment becomes a memory — and a photo they'll share across every social platform they're on.

For event organisers and sponsors, the benefits stack up quickly. Fan-cam activations drive social sharing, increase dwell time, and provide a branded touchpoint that resonates long after the event ends. Selfie Cam's white-label platform means your brand — or your client's brand — is front and centre throughout.
