Projectable notices
The third projectable pillar. Alongside songs and the Bible, the notice now also lives inside the service timeline — built on a free canvas, with the same resolution as the actual projection.
Use cases
- Countdown to service start
- Welcome screen with clock and full date
- Transition slides between blocks
- Invitations with embedded YouTube video
- Corporate prayer timer
- Parish announcements with your church's visual identity
The five components
The editor is a Canva-style canvas, but with components designed for the service:
Text. 3 font families (serif, sans, mono), weight, italic, shadow, alignment, and color. Use for titles, subtitles, eyebrows, or quotes.
Clock. 12h or 24h, with or without seconds. Updates in real time during projection.
Countdown. Counts down to a specific moment (date + time). When it ends, shows a custom label — "Starting now", "Welcome!", whatever fits the notice.
Date. Long format (May 27, 2026), short (05/27/26), or weekday only
(SUNDAY). Localized in pt-BR and en-US, with optional UPPERCASE.
YouTube. Embedded video with autoplay, mute, loop, and start point config. See YouTube in projection for details about audio coordination.
Building on the canvas
Each component is positioned by free drag, resized by handles on the edges, and has a font that automatically adjusts to the real screen size. The canvas background can be solid color or customizable angular gradient — the same palette as the song themes is available.
The logical resolution is 1920×1080, the same as the second screen. What you see in the editor is exactly what appears projected.
Timeline integration
Each notice enters the service timeline just like a song. You can position it:
- Before the first hymn — countdown and welcome
- Between the song and Bible reading — transition
- Mid-service — parish invitations
- At the end — closing vignette
Drag and drop in any order you want. The same next slide button (Space) advances from song to notice to Bible to next song, without switching modes.
Audio coordination
When a notice contains a YouTube video and the second screen is open: column 3 of the desk automatically mirrors in mute. The audio plays only on the second screen — no two audios competing. When the second screen is closed, the desk plays normally.
