Full screen displays are the perfect way to provide an accessible caption option for your in-person service. We found a lot of churches using CaptionKit that wanted a dedicated monitor just for showing captions and translations.

They look just like this πŸ‘‡

Setting up your full screen display

Full screen displays are available at the following link - Just replace your-church with your own church handle:

Translated full screen displays are available here:

https://captionkit.io/f/your-church/l/language-code

Language code must match a translation that you have enabled in your dashboard. Here's our list of supported language codes:

Adjusting font size

Full screen displays support adjusting the text size using a URL parameter. For example: https://captionkit.io/f/your-church?fontSize=12

The font size number is a % of screen height, so for example, fontSize=8 would make each text line 8% the height of the display.

Split screen captions

If you want to display more than one language on your full screen display, you can show 2-4 languages side-by-side like this πŸ‘‡

Setting up your split screen display

Split screen captions are available using a special url, you'll need 2 things:

  • Your church handle

  • The languages you'd like to show. Your speaker language will be default and any translations will use the language codes here: Supported Languages

For example, if church handle is first-church-au and you want to show both the spoken English captions and also Spanish (Latin America), your URL would be:

https://captionkit.io/splitscreen/first-church-au?languages=default,es-419

Make sure to separate the language codes with a comma.

Split screen captions also supports adjusting the font size, by adding the fontSize url parameter, for example:

https://captionkit.io/splitscreen/first-church-au?languages=default,es-419&fontSize=4
