## 🔗 Zero-Touch URL Parameters
Skip the setup screen entirely by passing query parameters. This is ideal for dedicated frames — just bookmark the URL on each tablet:
| URL | What it shows |
|---|---|
| `http://server:3030/?album=ALBUM_UUID` | Photos from a specific album |
| `http://server:3030/?person=PERSON_UUID` | Photos of a specific person (face recognition) |
| `http://server:3030/?favorites` | Favorite photos only |
| `http://server:3030/?random` | Random photos from the library |
You can find album and person UUIDs in Immich's web interface URL bar when viewing an album or person.
