CrowdGlow uses our unique Bluetooth CrowdNet technology to broadcast control signals to all the phones at your event. It is an extremely robust protocol that is guaranteed to work even in the toughest wireless environments.

CrowdNet is a broadcast only Bluetooth protocol that doesn’t require any connections to individual phones. All modern phones that support Bluetooth 4 are capable of receiving the signal, with no reliance on any external WiFi or cellular networks.

From 100 to 100,000 phones we have a solution that will fit your events requirements.

How does it work?

Step 2. Your crowd downloads the CrowdGlow app

Show our QR code on screen at your event as the crowd is arriving to ask them to download the CrowdGlow app to take part in the light show.

We can also create a fully custom branded version of our app specifically for your event or tour.

Step 3. Ask your crowd to open the app to participate

You need to communicate to your crowd during your event when to open the app to take part in your show.

Most events pick 3 to 5 songs or key moments to use CrowdGlow for maximum effect. You can display a message on the stage screens or have performers encourage the audience to open the app and participate.

Step 4. You have live control!

Run our free CrowdGlow Broadcast software on a Mac or PC and using ArtNet you will have full live control directly from your lighting console or software such as QLab. You can control all the phones just like you would with any other stage light.

You can busk in real-time or create a tight timecoded design. Make use of our free 3D Visualiser to pre-viz your show.
