Live Presentation

Run your worship set from the Present panel. Select a song, advance slides, and optionally Go Live to broadcast the current slide to every member following along from the Member app.

Layout​

  • Mobile — the Present tab (second tab in the Worship screen)
  • Tablet / Desktop — right-hand pane, always visible next to the song list

The Present panel shows a three-pane slide view:

  • Previous slide on the left (dimmed preview)
  • Current slide in the center (highlighted, with an ON SCREEN badge when Live)
  • Next slide on the right (dimmed preview)

Above the slides, a banner shows the song title, a "Slide X of Y" chip, and a progress bar.

Pick a song​

Tap any song card in the song list to load it. The first slide becomes the current slide automatically.

Advance slides​

Four on-screen controls at the bottom of the Present panel:

  • Prev — previous slide (disabled on the first slide)
  • Timer — toggle auto-advance on/off
  • Blank — blank the screen (useful during prayer or transitions)
  • Next — next slide (disabled on the last slide)

You can also tap the dimmed Previous or Next preview panes to jump there directly.

Keyboard shortcuts​

When the Present panel is focused:

  • Right Arrow or Space — next slide
  • Left Arrow — previous slide
  • B — toggle blank screen
  • T — toggle auto-advance timer

Auto-advance timer​

Tap Timer to auto-advance slides after a fixed interval. Default is 10 seconds. A countdown progress bar shows "Next slide in Ns" while active.

Long-press the timer button to cycle through intervals: 5s → 10s → 15s → 30s.

The timer stops automatically when it reaches the last slide of a song.

Blank screen​

Tap Blank to replace the slide with a blank "SCREEN BLANKED" view. Tap again to unblank. Broadcasts to followers if you're Live.

Go Live​

Tap Go Live (top-right on mobile, separate bar on desktop) to start a live session:

  • A red LIVE status bar appears across the top
  • Slide changes, prev/next, and blank actions broadcast to every member in the church who's watching
  • Broadcast latency is sub-second over the WebSocket; if the socket is unavailable, updates fall back to the REST path so nothing is lost

Tap End Session to stop broadcasting. Members stop receiving updates immediately.

Lyrics rendering​

Each slide shows:

  • An optional section label (e.g. VERSE 1, CHORUS) in accent color at the top
  • The lyric lines, centered, with automatic font fallback for Indian scripts — Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Marathi render with proper glyphs

Notes​

  • The Present panel requires a song loaded in the library. On an empty library you'll see "Your Setlist is Empty" with a button to add the first song.
  • Starting a session with zero songs is not allowed — Go Live is hidden until you have at least one song.
