Hi We often have guest speakers with PowerPoint presentations that contain embedded videos. There doesn't seem to be a way that these videos can be played in Proclaim as part of the PowerPoint.

Thanks
Hi @Lis Webb - and welcome to the forums
There are two ways I am aware of that this can be done.
When you add the PPT file to Proclaim, you can select the option to Transfer Control to PowerPoint. If you do this, the PPT viewer will be used in the background to show the contents of that presentation and this would enable the videos to play

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…
When we go on air with Proclaim during worship, a write icon appears in the bottom left corner. We share the screen through Zoom. Sometimes, a parent online leaves the iPad with the children who at times have drawn on the screen. How do I turn off screen annotations or prevent someone online from using to write on the…
