I've also had issues in the past where if you play music with its built-in music player, it will cut the music short. There were just a few minutes before service was supposed to start, so we had no time to wait for a support ticket, and the knowledge base is a joke when it comes to actual issues, so the techs will be running the service from PowerPoint and Winamp today. There is a free trial of the software offered, and the price for either the Windows or Mac version starts at just $399.I did the usual troubleshooting steps, but that didn't fix it. Concerns can be addressed by a knowledgeable support staff, many of whom have experience in media presentations for ministry. MediaShout works with multiple versions of Windows and can be mastered in a very short period of time.

One of the new features of the software is that it allows for two translations to be displayed side by side.

The slides are automatically created when a team member chooses the book, chapter, and verse. Pastors can display verses from any translation of the Bible they wish to use. This can be useful for team members that are trying to make the transition from an older system.įinally, the program has more than 67 versions of the Bible included. If the church has a Twitter feed, this can also be integrated for display.Ĭhurches that are looking to upgrade their worship platforms will find that old PowerPoint files can still be used with MediaShout. The announcements display in a repeated pattern. Prior to the service it is possible to put announcements on a loop.

Ministers can also import songs from other programs. There are 2,500 built-in public domain hymns and songs. Ministers of Music will love the fact that MediaShout can automatically create lyric slides. Even websites can be viewed with the program and integrated into sermons or Sunday School lessons. Still images can also be used with the software. It can support multiple codecs as well as play standard DVDs and CDs. MediaShout can play many different types of video.

MediaShout is a full suite of tools that can energize a worship service with attractive media displays. These are often done with PowerPoint or a similar program which does not allow for much creativity. Overall Opinion: Many churches today combine multimedia presentations with worship services.
