What is the ShoutOuts Reel?
ShoutOuts Reel is a display tool that showcases purchased and approved ShoutOuts in a continuously looping slideshow. Designed for in-person use, such as in a lobby or on stage, it transforms audience support into a dynamic visual experience that creates a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere and highlights real-time engagement.
Below is a brief demonstration showing what the ShoutOuts Reel looks like and how it works.
How to Access the ShoutOuts Reel
Select the project poster to open the project's landing page.
Scroll down to Management Features.
In the Management Features header, select ShoutOuts Reel.
The ShoutOuts Reel will open in a new window and begin playing automatically.
How the ShoutOuts Reel Works
Approved ShoutOuts automatically scroll in a continuous loop
The Reel auto-refreshes as new ShoutOuts are approved.
Admins can control the display interval of ShoutOuts. Available interval options:
5 seconds
10 seconds
20 seconds
30 seconds
To adjust the interval, scroll down, select a new timing option, then scroll back up. The change applies immediately.
At the end of each loop, a QR code is displayed, allowing attendees to purchase a ShoutOut after viewing the ShoutOuts Reel. After the QR code, the Reel automatically starts again without any action required.
Who Can Access the ShoutOuts Reel?
Any organization admin, Ticketing Manager or Project Manager can access and display the ShoutOuts Reel
The ShoutOuts Reel is not public-facing and does not have a shareable URL.
Shoutouts Reel must be opened from inside CUR8 and displayed on a dedicated or secondary screen using a browser. Chrome is recommended.
If you need a shareable way to display ShoutOuts to attendees, we recommend using a Digital Program instead.

ShoutOuts Reel vs Digital Program
ShoutOuts can appear in both places, but each tool serves a different purpose.
Use ShoutOuts Reel when:
You want an in-person, looping visual display.
Something public and "set and forget".
You do not want to share directly with attendees.
Use Digital Program when:
You need a public or shareable URL
You want a more flexible, attendee-facing experience
Attendees will access content on their own devices; digital programs are available via their E-Tickets. You can also post QR codes for the Digital Program.
Both tools can be used together to maximize visibility and engagement.
