• Hi! We are a bi-(actually multi-)lingual church. What we really misses in Proclaim is the possibility to look up scriptures an view them in two, or more languages. This is a functionality available in some other competitive solutions like ProPresenter. We could switch to ProPresenter but love Proclaim and hope to stick with you guys. Does Faithlife have any plans to develop such functionality?

    1. Hola a todos los que hablen Español. Saludos desde México. Y también un cordial saludo para todas las demás nacionalidades. Que el Señor haya resplandecer su rostro sobre nosotros.

      1. The bulletin feature is useless to us because it doesn't show the sermon slides. Is there a way to customize what is published? Like I want to publish the sermon slides every week for people to download. Is there a way to do this automatically?

        1. or is there a way to link people to content in my library
        2. I realised they don't show up when there's a passage mentioned within the sermon content.

        3. yes, that too. But the bulletin also completely skips content slides that have multiple pages (using the --)

      2. Is anyone else having issues connecting Song Select?

        1. Song Select was having issues yesterday morning. I couldn't even load songs on CCLI's site.

      3. Is there a list of future upgrades?

        1. I would like to suggest that the proclaim media gallery available in logos, particularly the custom ones our media person has created. It creates extra steps to have to import slides into proclaim to then add the background slides.

          1. I have figured out how to add a mask to the bottom of my slides. Is there a way to automatically compress the slides so that all the content shows. My masking just covers the bottom portion of my slides.

              I assume you have already looked at the available aspect ratios for your screen, but needed masking to support a size we don't have? The best way is to choose the right canvas size. If you don't have one that matches... (we probably should just let you type in whatever you want...) To answer your question: No, the masking is merely an output mask at the last layer, so the editor and media isn't aware. However, you can make your own smart media (Media > Create Smart Media) and make your own templates for the items you use, and in these template you'd ensure the content doesn't go into your masked region. You can then set all of these as the default for their type (Settings > Default Media), so when you add new items they use them automatically.

          2. Hey all, just a heads up if you use Fire Stick for signage, we needed to update a couple so I picked up a Fire TV Stick Select 4k. Noting in the description that it says "For enhanced security, this device prevents sideloading or installing apps from unknown sources. Only apps from the Amazon Appstore are available for download." Not a problem, as Proclaim's signage app is in the Amazon app store. Installed the new stick only to find out the app will not load on it. Says it is not compatible. Also, in reading online reviews (after the fact, of course)... finding out that this particular version of the Fire Stick is not recommended. So mine got boxed up and returned. Hopefully this saves someone else the time and effort of purchasing.

            1. sorry about that! Some new FireSticks are using an entirely new OS. We have already starting looking into it, but don't have a compatible app yet.

            I've been wondering, have you guys considered allowing us to have individual notes per slide? From my experience, I've noticed that the notes in the notes tab on proclaim apply for all the slides. While that sounds nice, that actually doesn't really make sense given that after sometime, the notes would get smaller and smaller due to the font size constraints. Cause remember, the more text on a slide the smaller the words get, hence having so many words wouldn't make sense, unless we were able to split it per slide. The only reason I ask for this is because we use the drawing tools on the app on an android and an ipad, however, I'm not able to fully convince the pastor of switching due to the notes issue. Because why would he have an Ipad, his bible, and his notes on the pulpit. That's too many things up there. So at that point it doesn't make sense to use the app, hence my question.

            2. you ar right, notes are per service item, not slide. So if you have one Content item that has multiple slides, you just get one notes blurb. However, on the Remote, you can click the gear and enable notes, so on iPad you should be able to have a scrolling list of notes on the side while the slide is on the other side. (and it won't be constrained to one slide, its a normal font size) We have thought about expanding notes, essentially making it more like `alt-content` where you could annotate notes per slide. The only issue we need to think about is how easily slides can be changed or deleted in Proclaim due to them being a side effect of the amount of text and font size... so its possible a simple edit could mess your notes up.
            3. thanks for responding back. I actually figured that was the reason why you guys hadn't implemented it yet. I've tried the IPad solution that you mentioned and for me it worked great, but remember it's my Pastor the one that I'm trying to convince. And frankly that was his pet peeve. He would prefer to have it per service item. Now that I type this I wonder if I should separate his sermon into individual service items rather than one service item folder. So doing like separate slides at that point. That would solve the issue then. It would be nice though but I understand the implications/issues that would arise with my suggestion. Thank y'all for all you guys do. I actively promote Proclaim all the time because I think you guys have created a nice app for churches and I'm grateful for that. I can't wait to see what you guys achieve in the next full app update.

            4. Hi Jordan, I import my sermon slides from powerpoint (as images). The individual slides in powerpoint are imported as a group of service items, so each original powerpoint slide keeps just its own notes. Hope this helps.

          4. Is this a thing? I'm trying to add foreground images to my presentation for this coming Sunday and they aren't showing up at all.

            1. Yes, that can be done. Here are the instructions: https://support.proclaim.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/19864274881677-Add-Images-to-a-Presentation#add-a-foreground-image
              support.proclaim.logos.com

            2. maybe its showing up on a slide that's off screen? Do you see the 'edit controls' for it showing up on the left?
