YouTube Videos not playing anymore
So, I have a new MacBook Air (MacOS 26). Sunday, October 26th I was able to play a YouTube video in a presentation via the "add a webpage" item. Now, October 29th I cannot. It is a Bible Project Video that I've been able to show for the past several years. Is this a MacOS 26 issue? The error is: "Error 153 Video player…

Video file size larger than 600mb - no option for "this computer only"
I've added videos to Proclaim in the past that are above the file size for upload by using the option to just use on the computer where the video is saved.

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/

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.

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…

Blank screen but leave confidence monitor timers?
I think previously when we've clicked on the quick screen to Blank, that the confidence monitor has still shown the template details for the Clock and the Confidence Timer clock but that isn't happening now - it's blanking the whole confidence monitor.

Video Flicker
I am experiencing a very frustrating issue with Proclaim Video Loops and I hope someone can help.

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…

Default Slide Settings
Is there any way to change the default format settings when we add a new slide, song, bible verse, etc.? We have a specific font, font style, and background that we use, and it would just save us time not to have to change it every time we add a new slide.

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…

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

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.

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.

Please remove this sign-in…

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?
