Setup guide

ProPresenter Stage View

Read current and next slide text, timers, notes and stage messages in Church Remote.

Upcoming release. This feature is in development and is not included in the current App Store version. Setup instructions describe the development build.

Before you start

Allow Church Remote’s Local Network permission and use a network that lets your phone or iPad reach the equipment. Guest Wi-Fi, isolation rules and VPNs can prevent a connection.

Add and use the device

1. Add your ProPresenter computer and confirm its network connection works.
2. Open that saved remote and tap Stage Display.
3. Read current/next slide text, associated notes, the active stage message and named timers.
4. Return to the normal remote when you want to navigate presentations or control slides. Opening the stage view does not change output.

Connection help & limits

This is a readable native stage-information view. It does not mirror the exact custom stage layout, slide imagery or a live video feed. If information stops updating, the app shows an unavailable warning and its last successful update.

What the viewer can show

Choose an available stage layout and view supported source-supplied slides/text, timers and notes. This is reconstructed information, not pixel-identical stage video. Stage App authentication/reconnection has an unresolved provider-side acceptance issue. NDI rendered video is on hold for SDK licensing.

Keep your equipment organized

Open Device Details to save a custom name and choose its location and room. Use names your volunteers recognize. Saved offline information is useful history; an online indicator is not a guarantee of physical power or output.
