Private Message to Confidence Monitor - What message?

Many users have asked for the ability to send a private message just to the Confidence monitor, so they can get a message to the Pastor or worship leader.

Like Proclaim's 'Crawl' text, only just for the people on stage.

What messages do you typically send? Are they varied? A few words that can flash large, or long blocks of text?

Would it help if there were quick buttons for common phrases? What are they?

Slow Down, Speed Up, 10 min, 5 min, 3 min, 2 min, 1 min, Finish, Over Time

Repeat, Chorus, Ready, Close, Dismiss Kids? Doctor Needed? Evacuate Building? Snow? Tornado Warning? :-)

What else do you want to say to the stage?

    I'm not one that requested this.. but as a worship leader i'm gonna go ahead and guess that a message like "sing one more song" "keep going the pastor isn't here yet" or "hurry up" would be along the lines of what they want LOL..

    The clock... or a countdown for a timed service.

    I agree a countdown or stopwatch clock is needed on the confidence monitor. I had posted a request for this many months ago.

    Not something I would use but I guess the most important would be...

    'Don't forget the offering!'

    "adjust you mic", "turn on the lapel", "problem with [x1] mic--use [x2] mic" 

    These are along the lines of what I've needed most often (besides the previously mentioned ones that apply to the worship leader), but custom text is definitely needed. Also, there was one time that I wished for a button that would strobe a huge "THOU SHALT NOT LIE"! 😁😏

    I just responded in the other confidence monitor thread, but this helps me think of more ideas. I think our church's need would really need to be dynamic (custom text). But, canned ideas:

    - Speed up / Slow Down
    - Speak louder/Speak softer
    - Time warnings (10 min/5/1/Over)

    Text of this notification nature could appear in a different color -- preferably at the top of the screen. Scroll or something else would ensure it is seen; color would differentiate from other content.

    Not so much for a trained worship team, but for lay folks making announcements: "Hold the mic closer to your mouth!"
