MediaShout Reviews

This is a church presentation software first, not a presentation software that can be used for churches. This means they are dialed in on their persona and features are tailored to fit it.

Some of the features you are going to want require a fair amount of additional effort, and documentation is not crystal clear. I was able to get through it, but I think less tech savvy people (I work in software) might struggle. Point - make the ability to cast to OBS and the ability to show slides or lyrics easier! Also, give us two outputs in OBS so we can do a 2nd monitor for on-stage cues as well as lyrics in lower third on OBS.

Allowing us to get out of Google Slides and into a full presentation software. Also, to help solve the following requirements:

- Browse all slides while presenting (you can't do this in Google Slides; Powerpoint you can, but that has other limitations)

We needed a platform to would let us integrate lyrics from our song collection and hymnal while allowing us to to have a very fluid unfolding of our programs. Media shout let's all do all these things and more.

To run at full capacity you need a fairly descent computer. We are currently using it remotely due to the current situation and not all our operators are able to have it run smoothly on their systems even though they have the minimum requirements.

I also wish the UI was more customisable and some feature would but more handy instead of having to open new windows everytime.

Not a subscription.

Many beneficial feature which enhance the worship service.

Can develop on one system and play on another.

Occasional difficulty figuring out how to make something work. This is mostly due to lack of knowledge/experience, but partially due to difficulty finding the proper documentation.

.The features and flexibility of the product

I wish it had a better scripting language to automated processes

I have been using MediaShout since v2. The improvements in technology over the years are kept up with as MediaShout continues to improve the software. Tech Support is very responsive, even to non-member subscribed users.

I dislike an inconsistency with playback of some videos, even of the same file type. I can run an *.mp4 file just fine in one cue, but a different *.mp4 file just crashes the system. (As of this review, we are working to find the issue and find a resolution.)

Highly recommended. Integration with CCLI reporting, SongSelect and the various Bible versions that are included. Top notch!!

Before MediaShout, I would build slides in a presentation program by hand. MediaShout builds a library that is easily update-able. It is designed with the church's needs in mind.

Once you get familiar with operation of software it is fantastic.

Font sizing is limited. With MediaShout 4.5 you could size your font in increments of 1 size at a time. After switching over to MediaShout 6, I found it impossible to do this. It is set up to go in increments of 2 up to 28. 20, 22,24,. Example font size of 28 . It then goes to 36, 48, 72

Has given us a great opportunity to advance our church services.

.How it integrates with many platforms, such as PowerPoint, media audio and video

Sometimes its not as intuitive as it could be (myOpinion)

why have many programs running when it can be consolidated into one program

Can you other platforms which integrate into this software

The ease in which we can share our info.

I haven't found anything yet that I dislike about this product. It's been so easy to use!

Sharing our information, either the music or sermon notes has been a breeze with

MediaShout is so easy to learn. It is intuitive and versatile. I felt like a pro after just a few days using the program.

The only dislike I have is the look of the interface. It could be a bit more clean.

Try this out. MediaShout is a great program for projecting during worship and even for teaching and preaching. It has tons of uses, works on multiple computers, and customer support is very helpful. I can't count the amount of times that they just solved the problem for me via remote access. One phone call and a few minutes later I was good to go.

At our church we need to project the lyrics of our songs, MediaShout is perfect for that. All of our computers can run it, and they allow you put the program on multiple computers. That's awesome for a budget conscience church.

Mediashout is easy to use. It gives the church complete control over what the presentation looks like while adding helpful tools like bible entries and song lyrics. It saves us a lot of time!

The interface could be more modern. It wouldn't hurt for the menus to be easier to use either.

We use MediaShout to save time and energy when putting our presentations together. It does this well by making it so that we no longer have to look up lyrics and bible verses. They are easy to insert into the presentation.
