Reddit brought me here. dude you're awesome! Thank you! we're a small church with 10 adult members below. This will help us in our worship. Thank you GOD Bless!!
Maybe sometime. If you are still wondering you can just simply go to "Connection" in settings, then click on "RemoteShow", and scan the QR Code with another device. It should work as long as the device is connected to the same router.
Is it possible to adjust the number of lines for imported songs as you import them? It would be rather handy to have a feature like that, instead of having to redo every song manually...
Thank you so much for creating this software! I've been tinkering around, seeing if I can replace ProPresenter. Is there a soft loop option for playing video media for background? I keep on getting hard cut to the beginning of the video when it loops in the background... :(
great software! i have been using it for a while now and i have found a couple of problems. The first one is in the new 1.1.12 update, I can't drag anything (shows in project, slides, etc.) My second problem isn't really a problem just a feature i want you to add. It is importing Videopsalms agendas. That could really help me prepare for next service since the songs are in Videopsalms.
Hi, if you restart the program do you still have problem with dragging? It works fine in my testing. Also you can import VideoPsalm songs, I do not have any plans on importing agendas, because when the songs are in, it's quick to create a new project.
Hey guys!! I’ve been using free show and I love it. My only issue is when I try to play videos, I can’t get the audio going from my computer to my audio mixer. Any help? Thanks!
running powerpoint where the display only shows text... blackgrund the speaker doesn't appear... and one more thing is how to control the freeshow with a cellphone... How to download the Indonesian Bible
Please import PowerPoint as PDF or image. Please head to the "Connections" settings and click on the "RemoteShow", then scan the QR Code to control with another device.
Ok. I dont know whether everyone is facing this problem, but sometimes the program freezes and when you click on anything, it doesnt respond. I even tried to close it but it does not close. Please help.
This happens sometimes when the code don't know what to do. If you want, you can send the error log found in settings -> "Other" -> "Open log file" to our mail: dev@freeshow.app. This way we can probably track down the problem.
Hi there. Thanks, I'm testing this software out for our congregation. I have a question/problem: No matter what I do, I cannot get announcements to loop endlessly like you do. Is there a bug/problem? I cannot get a set of slides (a show?) to loop.
Will make more tutorials when and if we have the resources to do it. But it is as simple as just enabling the NDI toggle in the output settings, that should send it and you can retrieve it with a supported software.
Thanks! At the moment, you can select the verses and click "New show" on the bottom right to create a scripture show. Then it will show up in the stage output.
Issue On Freeshow when you go live on the projector or TV screen suffers lag and little delay before it shown to live output due to video loops/background. I hope to resolve that issue
Very lovely software. We just found it at our Church. Can you change the Bible verse showing on the screen from Double clicking to just a single click.
Hi, thank you. For the bible verses you can select multiple scriptures that are imported on the left in the drawer, right click them and click "Create collection", this way you can use it like normal, but it will output multiple bible verses. For multiple translations in songs you will either have to manually create multiple textboxes, or figure out how to use the "Mirror" item, if that's easier. 😊
I love this app, but I have been having issues with my transitions working. My slides with png files and videos are set to do transitional fades but only fade to black, and then fade to the next slide. Is that normal?
Hi, thanks! This should not happen. In my testing it works fine, first try the latest pre-release to see if it's better here. If you still have the error, please open an issue on GitHub: github.com/ChurchApps/FreeShow/issues.
How do you set up stage display? I understand you can connect over the network, but we have a wired connection and can't figure out how to show the stage display. Thanks
In the "Stage" page, on the right there is an arrow next to the "Items" tab. Press the arrow to open the "Slide" options. Here you just need to enable "Output screen". 😊
I'm new to FreeShow and everytime I click the Scripture button in the Drawer the whole program freezes. I also can't figure out how to link my API key from API.Bible to FreeShow so that I can display scriptures. PLEASE HELP!
I just found the update from 2 days ago and was able to download a bible version from Zephania. The API still won't fully load, but I was able to use the downloaded version for a livestream today. Thanks for the update!
Hi, glad you found the prerelease, and managed to use a local version. We have a preset Bible.API key that should work out of the box, not sure why it did not fully load this time.
Create a new output in the settings (Outputs), and create a new style (Styles) that you assign to the output. In the style assign a custom template, you have created with a textbox in the lower third view. Hope this makes sense.
How do i permanently change the bible template. Also when i search for more verses than the max verse per slide. It doesn't produce more slides. It just cuts of every other verse after the 4th line
You can go to "Templates" and change the "Scripture" template. Also you have to increase the "Max verses per slide" to increase the max verses per slide. It gets cut, because you can select many verses and press "New show" to create multiple slides.
Looks good man.. Btw, maybe try to add some sort like Alternate Output feature for Streaming, that will be much better.. and smooth it out for the User Experience.. thanks man.. keep it up.. God Bless...
In the "Stage" page, on the right there is an arrow next to the "Items" tab. Press the arrow to open the "Slide" options. Here you just need to enable "Output screen". 😊
Issue with Freeshow 1.1.9: Issues with scriptures/showing the wrong scripture or scripture wont load at all. Also could you add a feature where you can put a transition in a template
To duplicate you can right click a show in the drawer and click "Duplicate". But in your case you don't need that! Click "New layout" in the bottom left of your show to create a copy of the same layout, but here you can drag in different backgrounds on the same slides if you want. To set a different template like lower third (or disable the background for a specific output), go to settings>Styles, and create a new one with a custom template etc. and apply that style to your stream output, now you can have two (or more) outputs with different styling, and even background on just the main output, and even set the stream to only show 2 lines at a time. Hope this makes sense!
What are you talking about we have had lower third support for over two years now! Here's a guide: 1. Create a new template for lower third with custom item position/styling. 2. Go to "Outputs" in the settings, and at the bottom click "Add" to create a new output, you can rename the outputs so you have two called e.g. "Congregation" & "Stream". 3. Now go to "Styles" in the settings, and at the bottom click "Add" to create a new style, you can rename the styles so you have two called e.g. "Default" & "Live". 4. In the Live style, make the changes you need. You can apply the custom template with lower thirds, toggle visible layers, even set the lines to 2 to have max two lines, & more! 5. Now go back to "Outputs" and select the "Stream" output, and add the "Live" style to that!
Yes You can: 1. Search for French Bible in .xml format from sourceforge.net/.../FRE/French%20Louis%20Segond/ Or github.com/.../Holy.../blob/master/FrenchBible.xml 2. Open Free Show v1.1.5 3. Click on Scripture Tab, New Scripture, Zefania and select your xml file.
Hi, do you know how the style tag looks? If so I might be able to add it. The only one working at the moment are the ones that look like this: (Bible.API)
Please go into the settings, go to "Outputs", then select "Choose screen" and click at the external projector screen at church. Also make you the output window (top right corner) is active (red).
What operating system are you on? If you are on Mac, try pressing "Fullscreen" at the top, if not can you open the program using the terminal, and what message do you get then?
Genuine question, no hate, but like how are you funding this? It's just interesting that it's totally free but has all these features, even tho it has no source of revenue.

You can go to "Scripture" in the drawer, and in the bottom left click "New scripture" to add, here you can search for any provided by API.Bible, or import your own! (Search the web for Bible XML download)

Thank you! 😁

Thank you so much this is absolutely amazing for someone who cant afford Pro presenter . Lots of thanks.🎉
Thank you for checking it out! 😊
One of the best sofware. Thanks for all
Thank you! 😊
thank you, I have been using it for a long time, I really like the analogue with propresenter, but it is much simpler and more convenient
Thank you! 😊
Could you do a tutorial on how to setup and use RemoteShow for remote control on with a phone or tablet? Thanks.
Maybe sometime. If you are still wondering you can just simply go to "Connection" in settings, then click on "RemoteShow", and scan the QR Code with another device. It should work as long as the device is connected to the same router.
I've just downloaded this to try it on a Linux machine. Thanks for coding this natively for linux.
Awesome! Thanks for using FreeShow. 😊
Is it possible to adjust the number of lines for imported songs as you import them? It would be rather handy to have a feature like that, instead of having to redo every song manually...

Thank you. I recommend using a background made to cut loop, but I'll see about this.

Do you have a step-by-step video to show how to set FreeShow up to use a sanctuary slide deck and a streaming slide deck for a lower-third view?
Sorry, no video currently. But maybe one day! 😊
This the best software i have so far
If the goal was to get me to say “I love you ❣️” this application is amazing lol can’t wait to dig in🙌🏾
Awesome! 🤩
Hey guys!! I’ve been using free show and I love it. My only issue is when I try to play videos, I can’t get the audio going from my computer to my audio mixer. Any help? Thanks!
thank you brother for your information. I have a question about background videos, where can I download it?
Thanks. We don't provide any media currently, but I recommend this site to find some free ones: churchmediadrop.com
Dudeeeeeeeeee!!! this is the best app !!!!!!!!!!!! way greater than pro presenter
Thank you for the kind words! 😃
Is there a way to use this for live streaming on facebook?. If not then how do i connect it to obs
Nvm figured out how to connect it to OBS. It has NDI. This is actually a fantastic software. Cant believe it's free🫣
No direct stream at the moment. You can send it to OBS via a screen capture in OBS, or by using NDI.
So how do you get the media INTO Freeshow? How do you get the songs other than using Clipboard?
For media just drag & drop. For songs to File>Import, or use the web search auto lyrics feature when creating a new show (song)!

Thanks. This should happen automatically, but if not you can try to right click the last slide, hover over "Actions", then enable "Loop to start".
Can we stream in RUclips like Propresenter/OBS?
Currently you will have to stream the FreeShow output via OBS, but sometime that might be integrated directly into the program.
Can you please do a video on how to use NDI in FreeShow. Thank You and God Bless
Will make more tutorials when and if we have the resources to do it. But it is as simple as just enabling the NDI toggle in the output settings, that should send it and you can retrieve it with a supported software.
Can you list the minimum system requirements? I don't see it anywhere online. Thank you.
Basically the same requirements as a Chrome browser. Will get it up on the website soon.
Hi again. This software is amazing! But, will it be possible to fix the issue with next slide not working with scriptures on stage?
Thanks! At the moment, you can select the verses and click "New show" on the bottom right to create a scripture show. Then it will show up in the stage output.
Kindly help me to know how to import songs from easyworship to freeshow
Please click "File", then "Import", then click "EasyWorship", and follow the instructions on screen.
Issue On Freeshow when you go live on the projector or TV screen suffers lag and little delay before it shown to live output due to video loops/background. I hope to resolve that issue
Hi. You can try toggling "Disable hardware acceleration" in settings>"Other". Does that make any change?
Very lovely software. We just found it at our Church. Can you change the Bible verse showing on the screen from Double clicking to just a single click.
Thank you. I'll see about that, the difference here is that you often want to select multiple verses before showing.
what is freeshow pc/laptop system requirements?
Just any platform that can run a Chromium browser. It's currently running on Chromium version 106.
are you doing this on windows or mac . Cause this doesn't work on mac for me
Should work on Mac, but can you explain where the issue starts?
We'll be moving from powerpoint to FreeShow! Is it possible to show 3 language translations for songs and bible verses?
Hi, thank you. For the bible verses you can select multiple scriptures that are imported on the left in the drawer, right click them and click "Create collection", this way you can use it like normal, but it will output multiple bible verses.

Create a new output in the settings (Outputs), and create a new style (Styles) that you assign to the output. In the style assign a custom template, you have created with a textbox in the lower third view. Hope this makes sense.
Hello,why there is no search bar on Songs and Bible to search easily and not scroll it..???
There is a search icon on the right side of the drawer, click that. (Or you can press CTRL+F)
Hey do you have bibles on indonesian language ?
Please search the web for e.g. Indonesian Bible XML download, you should be able to import if you can find one.
Keep it up bro! God Bless you 🔥😇
Thanks! 😊
Is there a way we could get lyrics and slides from Googles slides and control it on this software like presenter?
In addition to importing as text/PDF, you can create a "Website" item and embed a Google Slide / PowerPoint presentation.
Is it cloud based?
Yes it"s
No, everything is stored locally! But you can set up integrated private cloud sync if you want to sync between multiple computers.

Thank You!!!!
lack of lower 3rd is critical and furthermore, it's been about an year from the release now it still doesn't have that option.
What are you talking about we have had lower third support for over two years now!
Here's a guide:
1. Create a new template for lower third with custom item position/styling.
2. Go to "Outputs" in the settings, and at the bottom click "Add" to create a new output, you can rename the outputs so you have two called e.g. "Congregation" & "Stream".
3. Now go to "Styles" in the settings, and at the bottom click "Add" to create a new style, you can rename the styles so you have two called e.g. "Default" & "Live".
