Configuring Projection, Main Display, and Screen Lock

Operator peace of mind comes first. See how Hope Control guarantees that unwanted clicks never appear on the congregation screen.

1. Activating the Main Screen

With your HDMI or video feed connected to your projector or video switcher, click "Present" in the top right header.

The live presentation window instantly renders full screen on your secondary display without borders, taskbars, or window chrome.

2. Screen Lock (Total Safety Mode)

Click the padlock icon on the Output column to lock the live display.

With screen lock active, you can freely search other songs, edit upcoming slides, or browse sermon notes — the congregation display stays frozen on the active slide until you unlock.

This completely prevents accidental clicks or searches from being displayed to the church.

3. Fast Keyboard Navigation

• Right Arrow / Spacebar: Advance to the next slide.

• Left Arrow: Return to the previous slide.

• F1: Clear text slide (maintains background).

• F2: Total black screen.
