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.
