Vercast Studio

Vercast Studio is the operator's console for a live service. It runs on an Android tablet, at the desk, and it decides what everyone else sees.

PREVIEW, THEN TAKE IT TO AIR

The run of show sits down one side. Tap an item to load it into Preview and check it there. When it is right, press Take and it becomes Program — what the congregation is actually looking at. Nothing reaches anyone until you take it, so a mistyped name or the wrong verse never leaves your desk.

Songs advance verse by verse. Timers count down. The clock stays right. Cut, blank and fade to black are one tap away, on a control deck that sits where your hand already is.

EVERYTHING A SERVICE PUTS ON SCREEN

Songs with chords and lyrics. Bible verses from public-domain translations, in two versions side by side when you need them. Announcements, event posters and offering details with a scannable code. Prayer requests, praise reports and testimonies. Birthdays and anniversaries. Baptisms, holy communion, child dedications and ordinations. Title cards and obituaries. A podium slide for whoever is speaking.

And the things that make a room answer back: live polls, quizzes, a question queue the congregation can write into, and a randomizer for drawing a name or a number in front of everyone.

THE CONGREGATION SEES IT ON THEIR OWN PHONES

Anyone with the free Vercast app follows along on their own screen. They get the words to the song, the verse being read, the announcement — at the moment you send it, not a slide behind. People at the back read as well as people at the front, and anyone joining late catches up instantly.

For the screen at the front of the room, Vercast opens a full-screen view in any browser — a laptop on the projector, or the television's own browser. It follows Program the same way, with no app to install. A Vercast TV app on the same network can be paired by scanning a code.

IT WORKS WHEN THE INTERNET DOES NOT

Church halls have bad signal. Studio keeps your songs and Bibles on the device, so browsing and searching never wait on a network. If there is no connection at all, open the console straight from the sign-in screen and run the room over your local network without an account.

BUILT FOR ONE PAIR OF HANDS

The console is laid out for whoever is running it. Put the controls under your dominant hand. Choose a look for the room and keep the desk dark so it does not glow at the person beside you. Reorder the run of show mid-service. Everything is one deliberate action, because there is no undo in front of a congregation.

DESIGNED FOR TABLETS

Studio is built for a tablet screen and is not available on phones. The congregation app runs on any phone.

PLANS

The free tier runs a complete service. Paid plans are for organizations rather than individuals, and raise the limits a growing church runs into — more members, more events, more songbooks. They are managed by whoever administers the organization, and every member gets the benefit.
