ProPresenter at a Glance

ProPresenter is much more than presentation software—it is one of the primary tools we use to communicate with our congregation. From song lyrics and sermon notes to Scripture, announcements, videos, and livestream graphics, ProPresenter helps every element of the service run smoothly and allows people to engage without unnecessary distractions. When operated well, it becomes almost invisible, supporting worship and teaching by displaying the right content at the right time.

This training will equip you with both the technical skills and the confidence to operate ProPresenter during a live service. You'll learn how to navigate the software, organize presentations, trigger media, follow the flow of a service, and work alongside the worship, production, and pastoral teams. More importantly, you'll develop the awareness and attention to detail needed to anticipate what's coming next, respond to changes in real time, and help create an environment where technology quietly supports what God is doing rather than drawing attention to itself.

Screens

One of ProPresenter's greatest strengths is its ability to send different content to different screens at the same time. Whether it's displaying lyrics for the congregation, confidence monitors for speakers, stage displays for musicians, graphics for the livestream, or changing the content shown throughout your facility with Audience Looks, each output serves a unique purpose in helping the service run smoothly. Understanding how these displays work together is essential for any ProPresenter operator.

The videos in this section will introduce the fundamentals of screen configuration, stage displays, output management, and Audience Looks within ProPresenter. You'll learn how to configure and manage multiple displays, create and use different audience layouts, and ensure the appropriate content is sent to the right screens at the right time. You'll also gain practical troubleshooting skills and a better understanding of how ProPresenter supports every area of the production. Mastering these concepts will help create a seamless experience for the congregation, worship team, speakers, and online audience while allowing technology to quietly support the message being shared.

Presentations

Every service in ProPresenter is built around well-organized presentations. From song lyrics and sermon slides to announcements and videos, knowing how to build, edit, and organize presentations is essential for creating a smooth and distraction-free worship experience. A well-prepared presentation allows the operator to focus on the flow of the service instead of scrambling to make changes during it.

The videos in this section will guide you through the core tools used to build and manage presentations in ProPresenter. You'll learn how to navigate the Editor View, apply Themes to create a consistent visual style, use Arrangements and Groups to organize songs more effectively, build and manage Playlists for each service, and utilize the Announcement Layer to display timely information without interrupting your presentation. By mastering these features, you'll be able to prepare services efficiently, respond confidently to last-minute changes, and help ensure every presentation is clear, consistent, and ready for Sunday.

Advanced Tools & Workflow Automation

Once you're comfortable with the fundamentals of ProPresenter, it's time to explore the tools that can make your workflow faster, more efficient, and more dynamic. Features like Macros, Timers, Props, the Media Bin, and other automation tools allow you to simplify repetitive tasks, coordinate complex service elements, and respond confidently during live productions.

The videos in this section will introduce the advanced features that help streamline both service preparation and live operation. You'll learn how to automate common actions with Macros, use Timers to keep your team informed, display persistent information with Props, organize and access media through the Media Bin, and leverage these tools to create a smoother, more reliable workflow. By mastering these features, you'll not only become a more capable ProPresenter operator but also help the entire production team work together more effectively on Sunday mornings.
