Audience screen and shortcuts
Open a dedicated window for the projector, keep it in sync and drive the projection from the keyboard.
During the service you keep the controls on your own device while the congregation only ever sees a clean display. To make this possible, Projection opens a separate "audience" window that stays in sync with your control screen in real time.
Open the audience window
- From Projection, open the projection for an upcoming service.
- In the top right, click Screen / Audience.
- A new window opens: drag it onto the projector or second screen, then make it fullscreen.
The audience window shows only what the congregation needs to see: lyrics, verses, section titles. No controls appear on it.
Note: the sync works between two windows of the same browser, on the same computer. Always open the audience window from the button; do not copy the address into another browser.
Everything you do on the control screen - changing slide, enlarging the text, switching theme, black screen - is mirrored on the audience window instantly.
Drive from the keyboard
Keyboard navigation saves you from hunting for the mouse mid-service.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Right, Down, Space | Next slide |
| Left, Up | Previous slide |
| B | Black screen (hide / show) |
| F | Fullscreen |
| Ctrl + B | Open the Bible to project a verse |
| Esc | Leave fullscreen or close the open panel |
Tip: the black screen (key B) is ideal for prayer moments or transitions: the congregation sees a dark screen while your list stays intact, ready to resume at the right spot.
Follow the flow
On the control screen several cues help you stay ahead:
- The slide list on the left shows the whole service in order; click to jump straight to a passage.
- The "Next" preview on the right shows the upcoming slide as a thumbnail, plus the following ones.
- Text size is set with the A- / A+ buttons; it applies to the audience window too.
- The counter at the bottom shows your position (for example 12 / 48).
The List button hides the side list to free up space when you no longer need it.
