Notice: NRSV No Longer Available in Proclaim
Due to licensing changes, the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) went out of print on June 1st across all platforms and retailers, including Proclaim. This change is the result of publisher licensing updates outside of our control. While we’ve greatly valued the opportunity to make this resource available to Proclaim…

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). The other 3 computers that run proclaim during the service have no upload issues, however my PC in my office won't upload any longer. it used to upload correctly, but now just sits with zero upload. I've worked…

Organizing Uploaded Media
Is there a way to organize media items within Boards created in the Media section of Proclaim? It would be helpful to be able to organize similar uploaded still slide backgrounds, motion backgrounds, audio tracks and other media within Boards I have created in the Media section. One of the training videos I saw stated you…

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…

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. I want my tech crew to see the timer so that they can advance the slides to the final corporate slide but no one…

How to enter x, y, w, h fields
Have used Proclaim on Mac for a while, but for looking too long today, can not find how to get the place to manually enter x and y or w and h for an object on a slide. Or, how to angle the content on a slide. Who can help relieve my brain block?

Download Previously Uploaded Audio Files
Is there a way to download audio files that have been uploaded to proclaim? We have an audio file that has been removed from our computer but it is still in proclaim and I would like to be able to download it but can't seem to figure out how.

Upload Canva presentation
How do I upload a Canva presentation to the church proclaim program? Can it be uploaded directly from Canva, or should it be downloaded as a PDF, or Powerpoint, or a different format? Currently when I downloaded it as a pdf it is grayed out and not a live uploadable link
-
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…

No audio recorded during sermon.
We had no audio showing on the Audio Settings and nothing was recorded for the sermon. At this time wee see no changes since last week when everything worked. Already reported issue within Proclaim Help menu. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

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???

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…

Creating a new song, lyric attachement issue
I'm creating a new song for the first time. I've added in all the song details, Title, author etc…, then saved it to my library. I've typed in the lyrics how do I connect a set of lyrics to a specific verse 1, verse 2, etc…? If I uncheck the box next to where I can add Title, screen and all that my lyrics will show, but 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. However, the last 3 services with recording of sermons, the recording stopped after 6min, 2min, 8min respectively. Nothing was noticed by the person at the computer. I was…

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. Initially, I couldn't work out where to do this, but found out how in the process of composing this post, so I thought I'd contribute it here anyway. I may well come back…
-
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…

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. But when that didn't work, every AI generated answer online said to import the pdf and Proclaim would turn each page into images - but is this actually…

When Are We Going to See Proclaim for iPad?
Hello, My church has finally upgraded to a wireless system. We can now use presentation software. I would like to use Proclaim without the use of a laptop. Does Proclaim come for the iPad? Or is that just the remote app?
-
Confidence Monitor
Currently our Confidence Monitor is set for a black background and white letters. If we use black letters on our slides, the Confidence Monitor also changes to black letters and then we can't see them. The default font for the Confidence Monitor is set to white. Shouldn't that stay the same regardless of what color font is…

Group Media Files
We have recently imported our children's song library of power point files into the Media Library. Each slide is named with the title of the song and "slide 1," "slide 2," etc. When importing into the service schedule we must use the "entire series" button when importing on the song. Once in the schedule we can group and…

Smart Screen Advance
Is there a way to have auto advance on songs? Timed advance does not work as each slide has a different time spent and varies song to song.

We re-use the pre-service loop
every week. Is there a way to create a template of sorts that would start (and end) with those? Or do I manually have to add them back in each week?

Set default background color for image slideshow?
I have 300 images for a memorial service slideshow. Can I set a default background color for the image show service item instead of editing each slide? I don't the ATEM to fill with the open camera image. TIA

Deleting a "Worship Team"
So, there was an issue when some unnamed person didn't know what the Worship Team was or why it was there, thinking it was created by someone else long ago for no reason. That person decided to delete the "Worship Team" and we lost all of the links to our Song arrangements. While I'm sure this doesn't happen too often,…

Can I Get Video and Audio Feed to a Specific Display?
See the screen shot. I have a lower third view that I show on Youtube, but also want to show it on a display elsewhere in the church for viewing. Right now, we have the lowerthird graphic, but not our video or audio. Is it possible to push that to that display?

Why are lyrics disappearing from slides after making changes?
We have recently experienced a problem several times where our music director updated a presentation on his laptop computer in his office, and when we used the presentation hours later during the church service, song lyrics would disappear from the output to the screens. They were present on the work screen of the computer…

Video Compression Software
I want to use an Igniter Media video that is slightly over the 600MB proclaim video size limit. Can someone recommend a video compression software (preferably freeware) that I can use to shrink down the size of the video. Thank you in advance.

How do you duplicate a song?
I have two teams in my church. One team likes to have only two lines of lyrics per slide, the other team likes to have as many as six lines per slide (they do not stream) Arrangements (within Proclaim) do not control how many line breaks or slides there are in a song, so I am guessing I need to duplicate a song with a…

New Laptop Spec Question
I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop for my church and was wondering if there's any ETA on Proclaim supporting Intel Ultra or Snapdragon processors? This seems to be the overall direction that laptop processors are going in. Thank you for all your help!

Boards
Is there a way to show the boards in alphabetical order? We have song slides in boards categorized by title. Unfortunately, while going to retreive the song slides from media, it take a bit of time to locate. They seem to be randomy listed. Thank you for your help.😊

Anyone having trouble with the latest version of Proclaim failing to open on Mac Sequoia 15.4?
Trying to download and open Proclaim on my mac mini M4; it starts to open and says "signing in" then closes without anything happening. Running latest Mac OS and just downloaded the latest Proclaim version today.

PowerPoint
Please enable PowerPoint files to be uploaded again. For at least a month, they won't load. I have our hymnal in PowerPoint slides; adding responsive Psalms or hymns slide by slide is ridiculous! Used to work. Now does not. Please fix it.

Setup questions
We are evaluating Proclaim as we use Easy Worship right now and its not very multi-user friendly like Proclaim seems to be. I do have a few questions for those that use it. When you use NDI to put things on your live stream, are you breaking up the Chorus/Verse songs up so that only 2 or 3 lines show up on the stream? We…

Song template different background on title slide
Hi, Here's what I'm trying to do… Show the title slide for a song on Slides in the church, but on the Live Stream have a blank screen. Basically, I want people in the building to be shown the hymn number so they can use the hymn books if they would like, but I don't want the live stream to have the hymn number on screen. I…

Pause video when On Air
Is it possible to pause a video (not with the Remote app, from the computer running the presentation)? I've looked in the forums and online help and cannot find an answer. We are using the latest release of Windows 10. Thank you in advance! Jeff

Elgato Stream Deck plugin
I downloaded the Proclaim Plugin from the Elgato Marketplace but I can't get any buttons to work to control anything. How do I get this working?

Adding music to song lyric slides
I am still very inexperienced with Proclaim, but wondering if I can import recorded instrumental music to play in concert with the slide presentation. For example, I currently have the lyrics inserted in my Proclaim presentation for Amazing Grace and have a music file on my laptop with the instumental music (previously…

Changing song titles
Have changed the title of a song in both the order of service and song edit window but it doesn't seem to be updating the song title on the library. Have followed the instructions for removing custom titles but it still doesn't seem to come up when I search for the new title. Previously it just synced the new title…

Why can't you click on items on the left screen to change slides.
Hello, I noticed that we can no longer click on a slide on the left side of our screen (service screen) to change slides. We can only change slides if we click on the main slide to the right while we are on air. Is there a setting that needs to be changed in order to allow us to do this?

Anybody Having Problems with Signage Using Amazon Fire Stick?
We show our signage around our church with TVs through Amazon Fire Sticks. Over the last several weeks we have lost our ability to login to 4 of our 5 TVs. The fifth is working fine but it is an older TV. Faithlife Support says that there is an issue with the last Fire Stick update with no idea of when this issue will be…

Background Audio in Content Not Playing During Service
I'd like to play a background song while the announcement are scrolling during our service. The background audio I've chosen is a good file (mp3, plays in Apple Music) and I've selected from the little speaker icon beside the content announement. My computer's audio plays music…. I'm so confused - what's happening? What am…

Multiple Final Slides
We just switched to Proclaim two weeks ago and it’s been great so far. We’ve encountered a weird bug (at least I think it’s a bug) this week though. We typically conclude our songs with a blank slide that contains our CCLI attribution. We do this using Proclaim’s native features. This is working fine with the first song in…

Albuquerque New Mexico looking for local churches using PROCLAIM
I am the AV Tech at Monterey Baptist Church, Albuquerque and we have some challenges with our worship that others in our area may have also had. I am requesting time to meet with any churches using PROCLAIM in the Albuquerque area and would like for those willing to discuss or meet to see how you meet similar challenges in…

is there a way for "members" of my worship team to be able to view only and not edit
What is the reason to have member, moderator status if there is no difference in their permissions to make changes to the service items? I would like my singers to be able to preview the song audio so they can practice during the week without accidentally deleting a song or moving it in the order. I would love to have the…

Adding remote, off site video feed to Proclaim slide.
Greeting, Our Pastor would like to do a live feed to our sanctuary from church camp. The only method for us to project the image with our projector is to add the live feed to a Proclaim slide. If anyone has been able to accomplish this, I would be interested in what app they used on their smart phone and how they attached…

This NEW "Show Updated Slide" banner
This new banner is showing up when I am preparing for the presentation for the Sunday service and am looking at the big screen through the projector. It sure would be wonderful if this did not have to show with every edit that I made during this process. It was explained to me that it has to do with multi-users and…

Updated Log-In Procedure
I'm not sure I understand why the log-in procedure needed to change and seems more time-consuming than previously. Regardless, when I have logged out of proclaim, why does the next person who opens the program have an option to "authorize" a return to my log-in?

Proclaim not starting...but only kind of
I'm a long-time Proclaim user (was on the Mac Alpha testing team way back when). Never had a major issue that we couldn't figure out. Well, I'm at a week of summer camp currently and it looks like an update has gone through. The presentation (for this specific week) that I am using starts to load, but then locks up.…
