Creating Announcement Loops In EasyWorship

Modified on: Wed, 2 Dec, 2020 at 10:30 AM


Announcement loops are a great pre-service or post-service communication tool. Whether you are sending announcements to a lobby kiosk or presenting on the main screens in your auditorium, this article will show you how to get started.


Slide loops are created in the Presentations Area of EasyWorship. When you are ready to play the loop, simply drag-and-drop it to the Schedule Area and click Go Live, or just double-click it to send it to the screen. The slides within the Presentation will loop until you go live with the next item in the Schedule.

  3. Click Presentation on the left and check the box to Loop Presentation.
  4. Select the Masters tab in the Presentation Editor.
  5. Select the Master Slide (first slide at the top).
  6. In the Inspector, select Transition under the Slide settings.
  7. Set the transition and any other desired options.
  8. Select the Slide tab and set the desired slide options:
    • Advance Slide
      • On Click - Advances the slide when you click the mouse.
      • Automatically - Advances the slide automatically after the set time.
      • Delayed - Advances the slide when the media on the slide has finished playing.

    • Always start slide from beginning - Set the slide to always play all elements from the beginning.
