    4. if your website is on WordPress, you can try out a plugin I wrote a few years ago: https://wordpress.org/plugins/soundfaith-embed/ I've set up integrations using this plugin and Zapier to auto-post sermons to the blog.

  • Here is a newb question. Just used Proclaim for the first time this weekend. Still on the free trail. It was a great experience for me as a pastor and for my tech crew as well. The only question is, once my sermon is recorded and published . . . where did it go?? I want to try embedding it onto our website. But I can't seem to find where it was published. Sorry for my naïveté.

    2. , it doesn't look like your sermon is published. Can you try publishing it again?

    3. I just did. That time it worked. Interesting. Hopefully that is a one-time glitch. Thanks for your help

  • Hi, I made an edit to our sermon (I deleted some dead air). So the sermon time reduced from 44mins to 37 mins. I updated the edit and published but when I download the raw audio, it's downloading the original sermon - not the edit version? (Note: I've closed proclaim and reopened. I also deleted the original raw audio and resaved....still not downloading the edit version).

    1. The "raw audio" file stored by Proclaim on your local hard drive is not altered when you make pre-publish edits from within the program. Changes made from within the "publish" screen, like cutting out dead air, are saved to the published copy on faithlife.com and soundfaith.com. You will need to use a third party audio editing tool to modify the raw audio file.

  • Itseems like the auto fill text for the sermons textfield on smartmedia uses the faithlife textfield. Would it be possible to have a separate auto fill for "listen to sermons" smartmedia?

    2. I created a subdomain for our church's faithlife, and another for sermons that goes to soundfaith. Faithlife.efbc.family. Sermon.efbc.family. Trying to use our standard system to help people get what they want. (I have not yet done bulletins.) I put these urls into the field of the smart media slides. You can see this in the pre loop of our presentations.

    3. Hey Okay, thanks for the feedback. I'll ask one of our devs here today about this and get his thoughts on if this is something we can do or add to our road map to the future.

    4. Thank you for the consideration!

  • Hi, In our office workflow we duplicate last week's presentation to start for this week. Unfortunately, this sets the cover image for the published sermon as well. I can change the cover image on soundfaith.com, but I cannot see any way to remove the cover image either through soundfaith, or in Proclaim when the sermon is published. What am I missing?

    2. Is there any way to do this outside of the publishing wizard?

    3. Also, is there any way to remove a cover image for a sermon that has already been published on Soundfaith? (without re-publishing?)

    4. > Is there any way to do this outside of the publishing wizard? , if you clear the cover image in Proclaim we will default to using the first slide for the cover image. Only when you manually override the cover image in Proclaim do we store that setting and apply it to future recordings. Our thinking here is that you may want to use the same cover image for multiple sermons in a a series. > Also, is there any way to remove a cover image for a sermon that has already been published on Soundfaith? (without re-publishing?) You can change a cover image on Faithlife Sermons (SoundFaith rebrand) by using the Edit mode.

  • When I go to soundfaith,com and click on "My Sermons", I just get a blank screen. I can get to the latest sermon by clicking on the link from when it was posted to our church Faithlife group, but it's a lot harder to get to all my other sermons.

    1. , are you signed in using your account? I'm able to impersonate you and see a lot of sermons under "My Sermons".

    3. OK. I see what happened. I have two different logins for Logos/Faithlife and since I am signed in everywhere else in Faithlife with my church email, I just assumed that I was singed in with that email address on Soundfaith, too. But that was not the case.

  • how much storage space does the Proclaim On Air package come with?

    2. , yes. I should have mentioned there is a 600MB file size limit for individual uploads.

    3. gotcha. what is the storage space mentioned on the Hosting package. Is that around web site/podcast hosting then?

    4. Yes, this is for sermons published to SoundFaith.

  • Quick question regarding posting our sermons to Facebook. It used to display the cover photo in the newsfeed but for the last few weeks it has been a faithlife logo. Is there a setting I need to change so that it will use the cover photo?

    2. After editing the sermon I've been using the publish button and then sharing it to Facebook using the button at the bottom of the "Your sermon audio has been published". I choose to share it to our church Facebook page. It used to include the cover photo but now it is a faithlife logo (along with a short description of the faithlife page).

    3. , I'll see if this behaviour's been recently changed at all. If you use the share link from Soundfaith.com directly, does it come with your preview image?

    4. Thanks Justin. I just tried sharing using the link from Soundfaith and it does use the preview image. So it is just the share button from Proclaim that isn't loading the image.

  • Decided to move audio recording and publishing to Proclaim. We wish to embed to the website etc. in order to benefit fully from the system. Of course it would be useful to upload audio from previous recordings so that we can have one media solution. Is it possible to upload previous sermons to the system? If yes, how?

    1. Hello , That's a great question. The answer is yes! You can utilize the "Upload Sermon" feature on Soundfaith.com to upload audio recordings from past sermons, providing you with a single solution for all past and future sermons. Once the audio recordings are uploaded, you can use the "Share" feature to access the embed code, and place the sermons on your website.

  • In the past we have used two computers in our sound room-one for media presentations and one for recording sermons. Now that we use Proclaim is there a way to continue this or would it be better if we just used one computer. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge. Jeff

    2. Matt, is it possible to still use the two computer setup? Since our presentation computer is only set to send audio to the mixing board. Since we have switched to proclaim we record sermons from the presentation computer with a usb condenser mic, we love the ease of use, but the quality is not on par with the recordings through the mixing board.

    3. Hello , Proclaim will only work with one central computer driving it. Is there a way to reconfigure your setup so the mixing board boosts the quality of the microphone? Also, have you examined some of your desktop settings to make sure the recording settings are configured properly?

    4. Justin, that’s what I thought... we have a good quality microphone, but our acoustics in our new facility are great for singing, not wonderful for speaking, which is why I would prefer to record from the mix. We will continue to experiment with mic placement, but since I speak with a lapel mic and move while speaking we have not been able to mitigate the echo from the building. It would be helpful if the sound computer were allowed to follow along the presentation as a slave, tripping the record and upload features. Thanks
