Quick Start Guide - How to display song lyrics and Bible verses to your attendance

Now that you have songbooks and Bibles in your VideoPsalm, you are ready to start presenting song lyrics and Bible verses to your assistance.

How to display song lyrics

Typing a few song keywords in the Search field is the easiest way of select the right song:

The more keywords you type, the less songs you will find.

To learn more:
  • Search for songs

Once you found your song, click on the “Add” button to add the song to the agenda.
The agenda consist of a list of songs, Bibles verses and media elements that you will want to display during the church service.

Actually you can display a song to the assistance without having it in the agenda. This is useful when there is some unplanned change in the schedule.
In fact, as soon as a song is selected, VideoPsalm displays the corresponding slides:

To display a slide, simply click on it:

VideoPsalm will then display the slide in its preview area.

To display the next song verse, you can either:
  • click on it,
  • press the “Down” keyboard key,
  • click the “Next” button.
  • type its verse number: 1, 2, 3, etc., or C for chord, (up VideoPsalm V1.11)



To display the presentation to the assistance, press the “Present” button, or Ctrl+P:

On a single screen configuration, the presentation will cover your whole screen. In this case, to advance into the presentation, use the keyboard direction keys (Up or Down). VideoPsalm is compatible with the PowerPoint shortcut keys.

  • Standard keyboard shortcut keys

If VideoPsalm detects a second screen, it will display the presentation there. Usually, your second screen is a video-projector.


How to display Bible verses to your attendance

To display Bible verses, click on the “Bibles” tab and type the Bible reference in the search field:

VideoPsalm auto-completes the book names, so that you only need to type a few letters (two or three at the most).

If you prefer, you can select Bibles verses with the mouse by clicking on the elements in the book, chapter and verse panels.

To add the verse selection to your agenda, click the “Add” button.
You now have two items in your agenda, a song and some Bible verses:
