How to Operate ProPresenter

This guide explains how to turn on the necessary equipment and operate ProPresenter for our church services.

Prerequisites

Action: Open the lock screen on the computer.
Details: Enter the password. (Ask a staff member for the password if needed)
Note: Do not open ProPresenter or any other applications yet.

Action: Turn on the confidence monitor TV.
Details: The power button is located on the bottom left side of the TV directly behind you.

Action: Open ProPresenter on the computer.
Details: Ensure all three screens (confidence monitor and two stage screens) are on before opening the application.

General Rule: Follow along with the band.
- Timing: Click the slide a little before the current line of lyrics is finished. Ideally, click when singing the last word of the current line.
- Spontaneity: Worship can be spontaneous. If the band jumps to a different part of the song, follow along and know your arrangement spot.
- Key Mapping: All sections of the song (verse, chorus, bridge, tag, etc.) start with a key mapping (a small orange letter on the first slide of the song section). This helps you quickly find your place or jump to a song section if needed.

Timing: Click through sermon slides differently than worship songs.
- Wait: It’s best to wait until the pastor or speaker has made their point before clicking the corresponding slide.
- Caution: Do not click early to avoid revealing the point before the speaker does. Wait until you hear the verbal cue.
