The first time you open ScreenShepherd it walks you through setting up. It takes about two minutes. You can skip any step, including all of them. A service will still run. Every step is also a settings page you can come back to later.

The steps

1

Welcome

Just tells you what the app does. Press let’s go.
2

who's singing?

Choose your audio interface, and the channel your lead singer’s microphone comes in on.Then press check the microphone, sing a line, and see whether the words come back. That is the quickest way to know you picked the right channel.Full detail: The microphone.
3

where's propresenter?

Leave the address alone if ProPresenter is on this same Mac.You will need to turn ProPresenter’s network setting on first. Full detail: ProPresenter.
4

your church

Sign in, if your church has an account. This is optional — a service runs exactly the same signed out, offline, or with no account at all.Full detail: Licence and account.
5

Ready

That’s it.

Running it again

Any time: generalsetuprun setup again. Useful if the audio interface changes, or if someone new is taking over and you want to walk through it with them.

These are all optional, and all have sensible defaults:

Put a passage on screen when it is read out.

The small bar

Where it sits, and which screen it is on.
