Using Proclaim and Logos Sermon Builder from Same Computer While Teaching

There was an error rendering this rich post.

We have just started using Proclaim for our church services and the Sunday School class that I teach. It is working fine for the main service as we have dedicated volunteers to move through the slides during the singing and the sermon. But, I'm struggling to use the slides during my Sunday School class because I can't find a seamless way to use both Logos Sermon Builder (where I put my notes to teach from) and Proclaim (where the slides are advanced from). During Sunday School Proclaim is sent to a TV monitor at the front of the room and it is behind me so I cannot see it (we do not have a confidence monitor in the classroom).

I would like to build my lesson in Logos Sermon Builder. I do not really like to create slides in the builder as they seem clunky and I end up changing them once they are sent to Proclaim anyway. I've gotten into the habit of doing the slides manually in Proclaim after I finish my lesson in Logos Builder.
I would like to then create a set of slides for that particular class in Proclaim.
I would then like to broadcast the Proclaim feed to the tv monitor behind me.
I would like to be able to see on one device (preferably my laptop but it could be my phone or a tablet) the slides and my notes on the same screen.
I would like to be able to easily advance the slides manually as I work through my lesson notes, without having to switch back and forth between screens (I tend to lose my place and then just give up on advancing slides altogether).

Is there a way to accomplish this?

If I understand what you are asking correctly you can do this using Preaching Mode in the Sermon Builder

Details at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053678592-Preaching-Mode

Does this give you what you need or did I misunderstand your requirements?

Hi @Steven Veach — I have the same question as Graham, have you tried using Preaching Mode on the laptop and / or your tablet, or is that not working for you?

I found that if I create slides in Sermon Builder then export to Proclaim, I can EDIT slides in Proclaim and Preaching mode will still control them, but I have NOT found a way to created slides in Proclaim that I can control in Preaching Mode of SB.

There is a mobile app for Proclaim that is intended to be a remote for changing the slides. You can also see the notes that you created in the Sermon Builder from Logos.
