# Intro, Story and Outro: reels on guests' phones

> Build the reels guests swipe through before, during and after your event: pictures, videos, polls and sponsor ads, with likes, comments and Spotlight photos.

Intro, Story and Outro are reel modes: a stack of full-screen pictures, videos and polls that guests swipe through on their phones, at their own pace. They differ only in when guests see them. **Intro** plays before the doors open, **Story** during the show and **Outro** once it is over.

## Add reels

Each mode holds up to 12 reels. Choose **Add reel** and pick a kind:

| Kind | What it is |
| - | - |
| **Picture or video** | A full-screen photo or clip. Pictures are framed to the phone's shape; videos can be up to a minute. |
| **Poll** | A question with 2 to 5 answers. Guests pick one. A picture or video behind the question is optional. |
| **Ad** | A sponsor's picture or video with a link to their page. See [Sponsors](https://docs.luce.show/modes/sponsors.md). |

Every reel can have a caption of up to 300 characters. Guests see two lines and the rest behind **more**. Drag a reel by its handle to change the order.

### Poll results

A poll's **Results** setting decides when guests see the votes:

* **Instant**: guests see how everyone voted as soon as they vote.
* **Manual**: guests see "Vote received" until you choose **Share results** in the console. Sharing shows the results to every guest and closes the vote; it cannot be taken back.

## What guests can do

The switches at the top of the mode turn guests' actions on or off:

* **Likes**: guests can like each reel. Only you see how many did, and who.
* **Comments**: guests can comment on each reel and reply to each other.
* **Spotlight**: guests can share a photo of their own for everyone to see.

Likes and comments never appear on ads.

## Spotlight

With Spotlight on, guests share a photo from the camera button beside a reel. A content check runs on every photo before it reaches other phones and the big screen. In the mode's **Spotlight** tab you see the photos newest first, and for each one you can:

* **Pin on big screen** or **Hide from big screen**.
* **Remove** it from every phone and screen, with its likes and comments. The guest can share another.

The big screen's Spotlight source shows the photos as a slide or a grid. See [Big screen](https://docs.luce.show/modes/big-screen.md).
