Add the display to ProPresenter
CaptionKit uses ProPresenter's Web Fill 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 ProPresenter presentation.
- In your ProPresenter presentation, create a new slide or select an existing slide to add captions to, then right click and select Edit slide
- Click the plus button in the top left corner of the edit area, then select Web from the dropdown.
- This will add a web fill block to your slide. Grab the corner and resize the block to fit the full size of the slide.
- In the right hand sidebar, paste the display link you copied earlier into the URL field, below the Web dropdown. After a moment, your caption display will load.
A couple of last notes
It can help to do a short stream so there are captions in your stream, otherwise it may be difficult to confirm that the display is working correctly within ProPresenter.
You can also preview your dusplay URL directly, by pasting the display link into any web browser.
