Showcase Event Moments through the Explore Tab

Updated over a week ago

The Explore feature in Blink lets you create immersive, story-like experiences for your event audience. Using Explore, admins can build groups—each one is a curated set of slides (photos or screenshots) that may include questions to engage viewers. These groups appear as Highlights or Stories in the attendees' Explore tab, helping you deliver visual content and gather feedback in an interactive way.
