I had control of my presentation for about 5 minutes today. That would have been from @10:30-10:35 am Eastern time. After that, no got booted out and was prompted to sign in (Logos), but was never able to even do that.
that's about all I can report at this point. Will be checking to be sure that the Mac we were using had the latest version of Proclaim, but that's the only thing I can think to investigate.
We're there any known server issues this morning?
Wasn't limited to the Apple side, my Droid side failed with same issue.
My sermon notes were on Proclaim and I couldn't sign in to use my pad. Good thing I had a paper version as a back-up.
Logos/Proclaim must have had issues today, my staff couldn't get logged in either. Fortunately, our presentation machine was running and had everything local so the service carried on; however, it made for interesting preaching since it failed.
Would like to hear what happened.

The Proclaim servers experienced heavy load causing some traffic to fail. This lasted approximately 20 minutes starting at 7:30am PST. During this time the Proclaim Remote and Signals may not have worked correctly.
We will be upgrading our server capacity this week to prevent this type of situation.
Thanks for the update. This Overload/crash was not a pleasant sensation getting ready to preach and realize I couldn't log into the system.
You are addressing the issue, that is good news.
While I hope that there isn't a next time, I know that there will be - please post something or send out a message of sorts or something that tells us - or at least promptly post on the website for Proclaim. This way, users don't spend time trying to fix something we can't fix and can make alternate plans quickly. This scenario is the one aspect of Proclaim that concerns me. We have used it for a year now and have done well.
Blessings,

...until the next time it happens, since it has happened before...
Why not allow controlling over a local network? Completely eliminates the need to contact remote servers and improves performance. Having to go through Logos servers will only inevitably and necessarily bog it down and introduces additional fail points.
OK.... How?
i was functional via iphone at 10:30 pacific time.

If this is possible, I would strongly urge Logos to do this. I pastor a very conservative congregation and I am "pushing it" using a screen trying to get the congregation to open up to it, problems like last Sunday are devastating to what were trying to do. It has to work....
We have not been able to use Proclaim on any iDevice for the last two Sunday mornings. We don't control the presentations from the iDevice, but we do use them for a presentation monitor at the pulpit. Proclaim will not load presentations on any iPad on our network or cellular network from 10:00 a.m. CDT until 10:30 a.m. CDT. The computer will run the presentations, I guess because they're loaded locally. Presentations work fine on iDevices at other dimes during the week. I'm guessing there is a significant server issue.
We have had the same issue the last two Sundays as well. Proclaim remote drops at about 10:30 AM CST and we don't get it back. We have tried both Android and iPads and neither device can gain remote control. I did use a traditional presentation remote but I may as well go back to Powerpoint if I have to do that. Really frustrated.
I apologize for the inability to use the Proclaim Remote during the past few Sunday mornings. We had a partial server outage this morning which was correct just after 10:00am PDT. New server capacity and additional monitoring will be online early this week.
