Quick Screens are screens you can temporarily show at anytime while On Air, without adding them to your presentation ahead of time.
Skip ahead to:
Customize Quick Screens
Expand Settings and select Quick Screens.
To view each Quick Screen while On Air, check Show. Quick Screen settings sync to your team’s computers, so any screen you set to Show will also appear on your other connected computers.
Note: Any Quick Screen with a keyboard shortcut can be used during your presentation, even if you do not mark it to Show. Not all Quick Screens include keyboard shortcuts.
Some Quick Screens include additional customization options (details below).
Use Quick Screens during Presentations
While On Air and in Preview mode, any Quick Screens you’ve toggled to Show in the Quick Screen Settings will show on the right. Select a Quick Screen on the right or use the keyboard shortcut (each option detailed below).
To return to your presentation, click Last shown or press the keyboard shortcut (F12 on Windows or ⌘ + R on a macOS). You can also select a planned service item in the timeline below to return to your presentation.

Custom Quick Screens
Proclaim provides two customizable quick screens. Choose a background to display as the custom quick screen and provide a name. Custom quick screens do not have keyboard shortcuts.
Logo Quick Screen
Quickly show a branded screen with your church logo. Scroll down to the Logo section in the Quick Screen menu and make sure it’s set to Show in the Quick Screen sidebar when you go On Air. Next, click Change background and add an existing logo from the Media Browser or Import an image from your computer.
You can add a logo with a transparent background or with a filled background.
Transparent Background Logo
If you add a logo with a transparent background, add a fill color behind your image that complements the logo. Position the image in your desired location by selecting an Image Position below.
Note: If you do not add a fill color, the image will be displayed over your Output Transparency Color (set in Settings > Display).
Filled Background Logo
If you add a logo with a filled background, make sure to upload an image with the same aspect ratio as your screen (4:3 or 16:9). Your Logo Quick Screen should display at full-screen when selected.
Blank Quick Screen
Replaces the current presentation content with an all-black slide. Sometimes a blank screen can save you from an embarrassing moment or simply help set the tone.
- Windows keyboard shortcut: F10
- Mac keyboard shortcut: ⌘ + B
On-Screen Bible Quick Screen
Animate live to any Bible passage with the On-Screen Bible. Have more than one verse you want to show? Enter as many references as you need and Proclaim will animate them seamlessly. Choose from dozens of Bibles, select your styling, and choose a color scheme. You can also add the On-Screen Bible to your presentation as a regular service item (learn more about the On-Screen Bible).
To change the default translation, styling, and color:
- Expand Settings at the top of the main app window and select Quick Screens.
-
Scroll down to the On-Screen Bible and set it to Show so that it appears in the Quick Screen sidebar while On Air. Use the drop-down options to change the Bible translation or the style/color of the OSB. You must have an internet connection to display the On-Screen Bible.
Note: See a full list of Bibles included with Proclaim.
- Windows keyboard shortcut: F9
- Mac keyboard shortcut: ⌘ + O
Animated Text Screens
Temporarily display an overlayed, animated word—“Amen!”, “Hallelujah!”, “Praise the Lord!”, “He is Risen!” or “He is Risen Indeed!”—to your audience. Use these buttons as many times as you want during any service item!
- Windows keyboard shortcut: F4
- Mac keyboard shortcut: F4
Floating Hearts and Floating Amen Quick Screens
Activate to display small floating hearts or a floating “Amen!” at the bottom of the screen. These animations will disappear quickly and can be clicked multiple times to display multiple animations on the same slide. The Floating Amen and Floating Heart Quick Screens can also be configured to Allow congregation to initiate. When viewing your digital bulletin, anyone can send floating amens or hearts to your On Air presentation. Learn more about on-screen affirmations.
No Text / Text Quick Screen
This option displays whenever your current On Air service item includes foreground text. Choosing this option hides or shows the foreground text on the current slide. This is great for quickly making edits to the current item without leaving the screen black. This Quick Screen button is only visible if the current item has editable foreground text.
- Windows keyboard shortcut: F8
- Mac keyboard shortcut: ⌘ + T
Last Shown Quick Screen
When you select a Quick Screen that takes over your screen, the Last Shown Quick Screen option appears. To return to your presentation, click Last shown or press the keyboard shortcut (F12 on Windows or ⌘ + R on a Mac). You can also select a planned service item in the timeline below to return to your presentation.
