A lot of churches we have spoken to needed a way to show their captions over slides or live video, but needed these to be contained to a smaller area - even when pastors speak quickly or use long sentences.

The scrolling display is the perfect option - 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:

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

Adjusting font size

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

Set number of lines

Display your preferred number of text lines by using the lines URL parameter. For example: https://captionkit.io/s/your-church?fontSize=12&lines=2

Background color

Change the default background color for the caption area using the backgroundColor URL parameter. For example: https://captionkit.io/s/your-church?fontSize=12&lines=2&backgroundColor=rgba(0,0,0,0.5)
