Most booths have at least two screens: the one the operator works on, and the one going out to the congregation. ScreenShepherd needs to know which is which, so its own bar never turns up in front of the church.

Setting the operator screen

Menu bar icon at the top of the screen → Operator display, then choose yours from the list. The main one is marked. You can also set it in the app: pill tab → screenshow the pill on.

If you only have one screen

The menu shows:
⚠ Single display — pill may overlap output
With one screen there is nowhere safe to put the bar, so it may appear over what the congregation sees. Two ways round it:
  • Set the bar to menu bar on the pill tab. There is then no bar at all, just the menu bar icon. See The small bar.
  • Or move it to a corner nothing important reaches.

If a screen gets unplugged

ScreenShepherd notices and puts the bar somewhere you can see it, with a note saying the chosen display is missing — using this one for now. When the screen comes back, choose it again.

Lost the bar?

Menu bar icon → Recentre pill on operator display. It comes back to the middle of your screen.
