Setup guide

ProPresenter

Add ProPresenter, browse playlists and tap slide thumbnails from iPhone or iPad.

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. Open ProPresenter Settings → Network on the presentation computer and enable its network connection. Note the address and port shown there.
2. Connect Church Remote to the same equipment network and tap Find Devices. Choose the ProPresenter computer if it appears.
3. To add it manually, tap + → ProPresenter. Put the computer’s IP address or hostname in the address field and its port in the separate port field.
4. Name it Sanctuary Presentation and assign its location and room. Open a playlist or library, choose a presentation, then tap an enabled thumbnail to show that slide.
5. Use Previous and Next to move through the presentation. Switching to another saved device preserves your place in this app session.

Connection help & limits

Confirm ProPresenter is open, its Network setting is enabled, and the port matches exactly. A computer being online does not by itself make ProPresenter available.

Newer capabilities are separate

The public slide/playlist remote remains available. Internal build 26 adds separate shared timer/Watch setup and stage-information work. Selecting a slide focuses its presentation before the exact cue in the newer implementation; physical phone/Watch selection acceptance remains required. ProPresenter software, content and authorization retain their own terms.

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.
