3. Live Gallery

If you turn on Live Gallery, photos uploaded to the cloud by Visual Story are analyzed and selected using AI, and images are shared to galleries automatically in real time. The time frame for streaming is decided by the photographer. Gallery viewers can "like" their favorite images. Referring to these AI-selected images and the images liked by viewers can help you create story galleries after events.
