Set up a display and get the link

  • If you don't have a display set up yet, learn how to create one here - Creating a display

  • Once you have a display set up, copy the link by clicking the πŸ”— icon, under the display tile. Click your preferred language from the dropdown.

Add the display to WorshipTools Presenter

CaptionKit uses WorshipTools Presenter's Background Web Page feature, to display the live caption webpage within a presentation. This setup is quick and easy to configure and ensures that minimal changes are needed to your presentation.

Adding captions to a service item (recommended)

By setting captions as a background for your service item captions to persist across multiple slides. This means that you can continue showing items like scriptures and sermon slides, while captions continue.

  • In WorshipTools Presenter, select a service item and click the ✏️ Edit button

  • In the Background panel, select Web Page

  • Enter your Display url from earlier into the Web page URL input and click Save

  • Click a slide to begin presenting on-screen and you will see your captions display after a moment. As the captions are part of the whole service item, they will continue through all slides without having to reload.

Testing out your captions

To test a display with example test, add ?text=Your example text to the end of your display URL. This will keep the text on screen while you get everything set up.

Once you're done testing, just remove everything after the ? to make sure your display shows only live caption text.
