Song Format Changes no longer saves to song database?
For many months, any 'newer' song we have added to our database from import from Planning Center, we've had to 'add song' manually to get the version where we re-formatted the lyrics. Now, I can't even get a previously formatted song at all in the proclaim database. The only option is the unformatted version. This is…

Is Proclaim Pro Media still worth it?
We are a small church and love the simplicity of Proclaim Media. We prefer it to uploading and having volunteers struggle to make things look professional. We currently use the Pro Media package but I haven't seen any updates to this package since March of 2023. Is this ever going to be updated consistently again? Is it…

Default Volume on Videos
When I bring a video in from the media center, the default volume is at 100%. Unfortunately at that level, there is a high amount of distortion due to the signal overload. How can I set the default volume to 5% or 10% instead of having to play the video and then adjust the volume down? Thanks Bob

Use of the new SongSelect lyric videos???
I just subscribed to the new SongSelect Lyric Videos with the intent of using them in my Proclaim software. I "Assumed" that since Proclaim is linked with SongSelect for lyrics that it would be an easy process. NO SUCH LUCK! I called Proclaim support for help and they said they are not compatible and would not work since…

Should Proclaim retain content positioning when switching between slides and Picture-in-Picture?
I have a slide with the content below (this is with Proclaim 4.14 on Windows 11) and I have a Livestream Virtual Screen set up where the text is at the bottom If I switch to Picture-in-Picture then, understandable, the content is shown as centred in the slide But now, if I switch back to the slide option, the content is in…

How do I turn off annotations when On Air?
When we go on air with Proclaim during worship, a write icon appears in the bottom left corner. We share the screen through Zoom.

Removing songs from Usage Reports?
Sometimes I add songs to the presentation that emphasize different themes, with no intention of singing all of them. This leaves flexibility to lead according to the direction the service takes. However, those songs that go unsung are still included in the usage reports, which throws off my future planning and my look back…

Accurate count of number of times Songs are used
I cannot find a way to distinguish between a rehearsal and service when going on air. As we do a full run through with Orchestra every Sunday, and sometimes a partial run through with choir on Wednesdays, or count of hymn use is greatly inflated. Has anyone found a work around for this???

Please fix the Proclaim Remote app for non-admins.
I'd love to use the Proclaim Remote app to help our elderly sight-impaired members view Proclaim. However, at the moment, we have to help every single person wanting to do this, because the Proclaim Remote app insists on an unnecessary sign-in, and doesn't even provide a registration option. Please remove this sign-in…

No admin for our group
We do not currently have an admin for our group (that we can see) so no one is able to manage it. I read that this was a bug several years ago. I am the IT Director and admin for our worship team, how can I be added as an admin for the entire group? https://faithlife.com/oakwoodbaptistchurch/

I am new to Proclaim. I have a MP3 file I am needing to attach to a service item for special music. The MP3 file is for special music while the offering is being taken.

Blanks imported as Songs from Elvanto Service
Whenever we attempted to import service from Elvanto, all we get is blank entries (single slides with nothing, per item). The songs are available within Elvanto, however, on Windows Proclaim 4.14 (4.14.0.0179), we get blanks when we attempt to import service. This is an example of a service entry (attached):…

Sync Issues
Any time we make an update from a second computer while Proclaim is On Air, the outputs all briefly go black when the content is synced. Some times when we make an update from the computer that is On Air, the same thing happens. We used to have no issue with making updates from any source while Proclaim was live. Now, when…

Custom coloring for verses in songs
New Proclaim user here. I'm trying to figure out how to create custom colors for the different verses of songs in the preview/on air section of Proclaim. The preset colors for the verses are very similar to each other and hard to differentiate quickly. Propresenter allows for custom coloring of these verse groups. Is it…

CRITICAL: Add Custom Sizing/Positioning for Background Images (Like Foreground Images)
Hi guys, I've been a Proclaim fan since 2011 (shortly after release), rolled it out & drove a production team (Northminster) with its advanced features for 5 years, and have recommended it to many churches since. But since streaming became standard I keep hitting one major snag: livestreaming. And I'm sadly hitting that…

Can you set a timer for a slide show?
I run a series of slides during our prayer time. We want the slides to run for 6 min then advance to the corporate prayer time slide BUT I don't want the congregation to see a countdown timer on their screen.

Problem after Problem -- Please fix it!!
I am beginning to lose my patience with Proclaim. We have been using Proclaim since 2013 and I have been one of your biggest boosters. But now? We have had one particular problem that first cropped up in June of last year. The final solution? We had to stop editing on the fly from a different computer -- if we edit the…

Is there a fixed font size setting?
Is there an option/feature that will keep text the font size I set it to? No matter what font size I set, Proclaim automatically adjusts/shrinks the text size to fit it within the frames. I have to manually enter page breaks in order to get the text big enough to see well on our screens. Thank you in advance.

How can I send a pure camera feed to another PC?
I have a PTZ camera attached to the same computer Proclaim is installed in. I have set up slides with no backgrounds and the names of various people involved in different parts of the service so that the camera shows up on the in-church screens. I then use NDI on another computer to stream the service on the internet.…

Proclaim attached audio not playing
This little bug has been floating around for a few months now. Videos play normally, no issues. The only time I've seen this is when attaching audio to a slide. When that slide comes up the audio fails to play. I've tried several file types (MP3, wav, etc…) and different slide types all with the same result of no audio…

Copying from one account to another
Is it possible to copy an entire presentation from one account and save it so that It can be opened on another account? When I move from one church, I usually exit out of the group.

Hello, I'm experiencing some slight performance issues - exclusively when playing back videos - over NDI from Proclaim to OBS. Slides, announcements, anything static is working fine.

How do you start a presentation at the current slide?
When you click "On Air", Proclaim always starts at the very beginning of the presentation which is annoying for many reasons. Is there a way for it to just start up on the currently active slide within Proclaim? And similarly, is there a one button method to switch to a Black Background like OpenLP has?

Inability to Upload content
Same issue as the thread from Isaac Cantrell on Mar 19 2022, except this started on my PC last year (2024).

I've worked…

Loading Previously Formatted Songs
I have to admit to being frustrated by the way Proclaim seems to handle the song library. My understanding was that if you make any changes to a song, it gets saved in the library under the My Content section. Adding a song from the My Content selection should then bring up the song with all the formatting, order, and…

NDI output on Mac is very laggy and drops lots of frames
The NDI output from Proclaim on our Mac is very laggy, dropping frames and really unusable. The lag seems to be variable as well which doesn’t help our operators when they are trying to time the lower thirds that go out with our livestream. We’re transmitting low bandwidth NDI at 30Hz, higher band or 60Hz is even worse. If…

Recording stopping before it gets to "Stop Recording"
We've been using Proclaim for our services for a couple of years now, and one of the features we've enjoyed is how easy it is to record the sermon.

Confidence monitor-style formatting for a chord-embedded printout?
Hi. I don't use a confidence monitor, but want to access something like the formatting there for a printout, where chords are displayed above the lyrics.

Quickest way to upload announcements PDF into Proclaim
I'm having a hard time dealing with getting PDF's into a presentation in Proclaim. With so much drop and drag functionality for images, I thought PDF's would be the same.
