Hey everybody! Does anybody know of any Proclaim remote alternatives? I absolutely love Proclaim, but the remote has given us fits for years now! We have extremely reliable Wifi, & every remote is configured to run through local wifi. We've had this problem on both android and IOS devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
- Mark the exact same thing happens to us on the black screen. The remote has endless possibilities! But it gives us so many problems that we are looking for an alternative remote. Not switching presentation programs. Proclaim is the absolute best! But I just need another way to operate it via remote
- Steinway cash and Mark Stroud Thanks for the feedback, we are constantly trying to improve the remote to make it better. The remote tends to work best via the internet. Basically, the way it works is that the remote will send a signal to our servers, then to Proclaim on your computer, back through us, and then back to your mobile device. This works great, when everything works. However, if we have a lot of traffic or if your internet is slow, you may receive the "slide change error" that Mark Stroud mentioned. We added that local WiFi option as a way around this. As of now, seeing the local banner on your On-Air presentation is the only way to know it is connected successfully. If you don't see the banner you are still going through the internet to find Proclaim. In some cases, certain networks might separate mobile devices and computers from each other. If that is the situation, then your device may not be able to find the computer locally. Which I think Steinway cash could be happening to you, since you mentioned you have reliable internet. One way we found that works best is setting up up your phone as a hotspot and then typing in your computer's IP in the remote app and it will work. However, by doing this you will need to do this each time you connect the computer to the hotspot as its IP address may change. Let me know how this goes for you guys!
- in retrospect the sad part is; on Sundays we aren't having traffic jams getting to church, we are having traffic jams now on the internet because of people staying home... It would be nice to place a cookie validating the bulletin for free play during its construction. When finalized, the approved bulletin/program could be allowed to run freely and independently by a remote device without the constant checkins
