We've added a new "Amen!" quick screen button to be used as an affirmation. Click the image below to see it in action. Would you consider using this? Please share your feedback.
I'd much prefer affirmation to come from the congregation, directed by the Holy Spirit, rather than the person controlling Proclaim.
Is this a feature that's been requested?
I like the idea. Now customize so that I can change the word that appears.
We don't have a great solution for custom text at the moment. What text did you have in mind?

Just a feature we thought would be useful for some churches and are experimenting with.
I do not have any particular word in mind, but in a series I may want a particular word to appear on the screen, which I desire my audience to see/say.
Think scrolling text. Change as desired.
'Be quiet'
This is a great new feature. Can it be made available from the remote control screen?
Glad to hear you like it! I expect we'll be adding it to the remote soon.
Would you consider using this? Please share your feedback.
We would never use this. A custom slide, we would use.
The Logo quick screen can be customized and will work from the remote today.
For those who think they would use this: What is the use case for this? It seems a lot like an "applause" sign. I can't imagine any context where this would be appropriate, except maybe if brought up after special music? Even so, it seems very strange.
Absolutely NOT ! I don't approve of ANY electronic media in the service. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Buy some pew bibles and hymnals (and prayer books). While you're at it, become Anglican. [;)]
That reminds me of what my step-daughter used to say as a joke. "What does the bird say when it flies over K-Mart? Answer: "Cheap, cheap, cheap."
The next thing you know they'll have us going to church by smart phone. You dial the number and "Press 1 for a prayer; press 2 for a hymn; press 3 for a sermon; press 4 for a benediction. To repeat this message press #."
I'll bite. The use of technology in the service, like the use of paperback hymnals, hardback hymnals or scrolls is as incidental as wearing a cotton or polyester shirt. The physical assembly is almost the essential component of what it means to be a church. Your comments are both useless and out of place in the Proclaim: Church Presentation Software forum.
Proverbs 17:27-28.

My point precisely, but we're getting away from that.
Maybe a tex box?? Just a thought
Is there a way to remove this from the quick screens? My goal is to always have a distraction free worship experience. The accidental clicking of this button during music or a sermon would be inappropriate in our worship context. It offered us a few minutes of entertainment during practice, but seriously, we would love to be able to remove it.
I agree 100% with this.
I agree as well, I don't see us ever using this and it takes up space on the monitor.
I agree - or at least put it as the bottom quick-screen option, so the more established and more widely used are the most visible.
Thanks for the feedback all. We are planning to add the ability to customize (add/remove/modify) quick screens in a future release.
I liked the idea. At the end of each sermon, we have the "amen"song, it will be interesting showing the word while singing>
Do you guys have a time frame as to when you will have this change made?
No timeframe as of yet, Christopher. The more positive feedback we get on features like this the faster they tend to come out [;)]
no problem! we're moving to pro presenter now. thanks! I needed something like this to get us off proclaim. as a developer, i cant even imagine how horrible your data structures are behind the scenes. proclaim is so, so slow.
But it doesn't have to be a quick screen, it could very well be a motion background available in the media library and you add the slide after the sermon. The whole idea of a quick screen is to react to an unplanned situation.
My previous post was supposed to be a reply to Joana.
I believe the only way to disable it is to move to using ProPresenter for your presentation software. Its a much better experience.
I would love to be able to add other quick screens! We have used this one on a study night and everyone liked it. Everyone needs to understand that Proclaim is still new and has come a long way. Keep up the good work!
I would also like to remove this from the quick screen. Please advise.
This setting is coming soon.
Is it possible to add HELLELUJAH?
We plan to add a Hallelujah option soon.
Is it possible to add 'Jolly good show'?
this feature makes me sad.
How about a custom option where we could provide the word(s) to be displayed; "amen", "hallelujah", "oh my", or maybe "don't be so stoic". I know - that last one is too long! But there are those among us with less reverent groups, who actually like this feature. Many in our group are first generation Christians, who never stepped into a church before this one, This feature could be a useful tool for encouraging these church newbys to lift their hands and give glory to God. There is no commandment that says church can't be fun.
I do wish this screen could be accessed from the remote screen; it would much more useful.
Thanks for the great suggestions!
I agree completely, this is planned.
How can I customize a Quick Screen to ""Stand Please"?
We can't customize "Presets" but if you go to Help - "Quick Screens" - you should see a couple of Custom ones which you can enable (select the "Show" button) and enter the text you want
Does that give you what you need?
Thanks for this post....
