• Hey team, my Proclaim is doing something SUPER wierd. Whenever I use the blank slide (currently mapped to F10), it actually turns on the webcam on the sound desk, which is ofc facing the Proclaim operator, and then projects their face onto the screen at the front of the church! 😳 As you can imagine, this is a little funny but also a little traumatic. Has anyone had the same? As a workaround, I simply removed the camera permission for Proclaim (why would it ever need it?), but I have no idea why this randomly started happening. Scary!

    1. i am missing saved presentations are they store automatically

      1. Yes, your presentations are saved automatically. There is no Save button, as it is not needed. If you look in the upper right part of the Proclaim window, there is a status indicator. If it is a green circle around a green check mark, your presentation has been saved to the cloud. If it is a blue circle around 3 horizontal blue dots, your presentation is in the process of being saved to the cloud. If you'd like, you can speed up the process of saving your presentation by clicking File (upper left of window), then choosing Save and Sync.

      2. Presentation Sync has been failing on my home computer all day today. It may have been happening since last week, since when I got to rehearsal Saturday, changes I was sure I had made were absent on the church's computer. I'm going to backup what I've been working on today to a flash drive in case it doesn't show on the church computer next time I'm there.

    2. I have a new computer, could anyone shed some light on why my email is not receiving invites from Proclaim?

      1. Have you looked in junk mail to make sure they are not ending up there Blessings Dave Food RCF

      2. I just checked my junk mail and they are not in their. It is a mystery to me, but I called the Logos support desk and they helped me to get back into Proclaim. Thanks for your reply.

      Hi everyone 👋 I'm excited to share a small free macOS app I built that lets Proclaim control your church lighting through its built-in Lighting / Outbound MIDI feature. One heads-up: it's macOS-only and it needs Home Assistant (a free smart-home hub) to run your lights. It's an independent/proprietary app, but free for a single install — which is all a typical church or venue needs (one Mac covers the whole room). If that's not your setup, no worries. I've spent 25+ years as an AV integrator and installer, mostly helping churches get reliable, high-quality systems without overspending. I made this for my own Proclaim installs, and I think a lot of operators here would find it useful — so I'd love your feedback. What it does, in one line: when your operator advances a slide in Proclaim, your lights, scenes, and devices change automatically — no separate lighting person, the same look every single service. App details → https://sound4u.net/midi-ha/ —— HOW IT WORKS (no coding) —— Proclaim already has a built-in Lighting / Outbound MIDI feature. My app listens for those MIDI cues and tells your smart-home hub what to do. —— WHAT YOU'LL NEED —— • A Mac on the same network (the app lives quietly in the menu bar). • Home Assistant — a free, popular smart-home hub that runs locally and controls your lights/scenes/devices. (If you don't run it yet, set this up first; it's what actually talks to your lights.) • Smart lighting/devices that Home Assistant can control. • Proclaim set to send MIDI on a cue (its Lighting / Outbound MIDI feature). If you already have smart lights and Home Assistant, connecting Proclaim takes about a minute in one settings window. —— WHY IT HELPS CHURCHES —— • The slide operator runs the room. No second volunteer on a lighting board — one person, one click. • The same cue every week. Lighting is tied to the slide, not to someone remembering to push a fader. • If something hiccups, the service keeps running. A glitch never blocks your slides — worst case, one light doesn't change. • It keeps an eye on itself. It can email you if the connection drops (and when it recovers), and it checks in daily — handy for a room that only runs on Sundays. —— GET IT —— Download (macOS) + setup guide, details, FAQ → https://www.sound4u.net/midi-ha/ For almost everyone it's simply free: one install covers a whole house, church, or venue, with every feature unlocked, for personal and church use. The paid license only comes up in the rare case of running it on several Macs across one site (e.g. a multi-room campus). A couple of honest notes: • macOS only right now. • This is an independent, unofficial tool — I'm not affiliated with Faithlife/Logos or Proclaim, and Home Assistant is a separate free project (Open Home Foundation). Proclaim's MIDI feature is what makes this possible. I'd love feedback from operators here: what lighting cues do you wish were automatic? Happy to answer any setup questions. Thank you! 🙏

      1. Quick update for Windows users: yes, a Windows version is right around the corner.

    4. I am in the process of building an app that issues commands to Proclaim through the local server, I am aware of the commands as detailed on this page: https://support.proclaim.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/19864456647053-Proclaim-App-Command-API I have two questions/issues: 1. It seems odd that there is not the ability to query where in the current presentation we currently are, am I missing something? The Proclaim Remote App obviously has this ability so is there a way I could spoof this ability? 2. GoToSlide() is geared towards a specific slide within a ServiceItem, i.e. if I have 4 songs each with 10 slides and I issue the command GoToSlide(5) it will go to slide 5 of whatever song is currently selected. Is there a global slide # or slide command that is not published in the official documentation? To make it more clear, it appears that if I am currently on song 1 and I want my app to issue a command to go to song 4, slide 5 I have to issue two separate commands, GoToServiceItem(4) + GoToSlide(5), this means that Proclaim first navigates to slide 1 of song 4 and then slide 5. I am trying to figure out the best solution to go straight to the desired slide

      1. Both of these would be really valuable additions to the API.

    5. I just bought a Fire tv stick HD 2 Generation 8 gb WiFi 6 at Best Buy. I cannot download the digital signage app to my Fire stick. Is it not compatible? Everything is up to date but the signage app will not download. Thoughts?

      1. Hey everyone! Can anyone on a Windows 11 computer + Nvidia graphics chip/card help me confirm if the Page and Explosion slide transitions are broken? I unfortunately don't have another windows computer I can use. I tested the Page transition on my MacBook and its fine but my gaming computer lags horribly and doesn't really work. Much appreciated!

        1. I am wondering if anyone else is having issues with the font size numbers being yellow and not changing to the size you choose. If you have these issues what is the best way to correct it or fix it. Thank you in advance
          2. and ...I also am having issues and there have been other posts about this. I've reached out to the Proclaim help desk and last word from them on 6/16 was there was an update that changed how this formatting worked, then another update to change to back to the original, but there are still bugs and they are aware. ...the issue I have with the scaling (tT) is that I can no longer use my font size of 125 and have consistant font sizing on my lyrics slides. With the scaling feature, it alters to fit, but the sizing is off (sometimes very subtle, but I'm very aware it's off)...as you stated, it gets very close. Prior to all the updates, I could select a font size of 125 and it didn't matter how many lines per slide or the character count, all the slides had the same size font.

          3. I haven't had a problem with font sizes, but with font colours. Up until now I was using a yellow colour on my font, but there was a recent update that meant that any slide that had yellow text on it rendered all text on the slide invisible. I have had to recolour each of the slides that was yellow, and now I'm OK. Frustrating, but able to be worked around. I have had this problem with resizing as you describe. I notice that it resizes between slides so that all words fit on the correct slide, but that means that one slide is different font size from another, in the same song. Similarly, one bible passage is noticeably different size from the next, and I cannot fix it :(

          4. The issue is the amount of text vs. the font size. If you set font size to say 125 but all the text won’t fit in the text box Proclaim will automatically scale the font size down for any slide where the text will fit at 125. When the text box is selected I believe there is a message displayed near the font size number box indicating Proclaim is automatically scaling some slides and the font size number changes color. Easiest fix is to select the text box. Then change the font size number to a lower vault. The color of the number in the font size will change back to white when Proclaim no longer needs to scale the font size down for any of the slides.

        2. I inserted video files from a curriculum that are all the same. Some of the files show up white on the side and are just skipped over when on air. But, they will play in preview.

          2. It's not hidden. I changed the files to MP4 and that fixed the problem. But it's still strange that some files worked, and the others played in the preview but not on air.
          3. Shaun Braley...I have run into a similar problem. How do you change the file to MP4? Is it an easy thing to do?

          4. A free program called Handbrake. It's pretty easy to use and there are a lot of videos on Youtube. https://handbrake.fr/

          Anyone else have lyric lines spontaneously wrapping to a new line since last Sunday? We have all our lyrics set up in groups of 2-3 lines per slide. Last Sunday, some slides started becoming 4-5 lines, making our slides quite messy. Is this a new feature?
          1. Yes! It has to do with recent updates with the formating/sizing and this "tT"area in my screenshot. I still don't understand it and there was another post addressing this and in the comments of that post, it was stated another update took place where it can be used the origianal way, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. I'll be calling the help desk for some additional help.

            Was this the post you were talking about? https://faithlife.com/posts/6330768 if not, can you link the post? thanks!

            There is an issue in our 4.18 release that affects alternate content when using custom text content. If you encounter issues, ensure that Text Scaling is "on". This is the old Proclaim behavior and will result in alt content behaving normally. If Text Scaling is off, and you try to customize the layout of your alternate content (such as by removing a line break) your slides will get out of sync with your main slides. We apologize for the confusion this may cause and hope to have a fix out soon!

          3. SCBC Worship - I don't know how to link the post! ugh. Plese tell me. I'll add the screen shot, maybe you can find it. I just called the help desk today (6/16) and after some discussion and the agent looking into this, was told this is still an issue and to keep watching for when to relaunch for an update.
