FAQ
What is LlamaPresenter?
LlamaPresenter is church presentation software for running Bible verses, song lyrics, announcements, and media across your projector, stage display, and livestream. It offers a free web app and a dedicated Mac and Windows desktop app included with Pro.
Do I need to install anything?
Not to use the browser app. Free runs in your web browser with nothing to install. Pro also includes the optional desktop app for churches that want to run LlamaPresenter as an installed application.
Does LlamaPresenter have a desktop app?
Yes. LlamaPresenter has a dedicated installed desktop app for Mac and Windows, alongside the web app. It is included with Pro. Desktop local mode can present Scripture, songs, and media prepared in advance without internet; sign-in, account access, and cloud features need internet. See the desktop page for current download availability. Desktop app and downloads
Is the desktop app a separate purchase?
No. The desktop app is included with every Pro subscription and uses the same plan. It is not available on Free, and there is no separate desktop license to buy.
Can I show Bible verses in multiple languages?
Yes. You can display multiple languages at the same time and choose which languages appear on the screen. Turn languages on or off whenever you need.
My language is not one of the ones you carry. Can I still use it?
Yes. LlamaPresenter carries Georgian, English, Russian, Greek, Arabic and Latin, and you can add a Bible in any other language yourself. Open Translations in the settings, pick your language, and choose from over a thousand Bibles in hundreds of languages. The console fetches it for you. A Bible you add works just like ours: put Spanish and English on the same slide, or Korean on the projector and English on the stream.
Can I upload a Bible file of my own?
Yes. If your church was given a file, or you found one the archives do not list, LlamaPresenter reads Zefania XML, OpenSong, USX, OSIS and Beblia files. Free covers one Bible you add yourself and Pro makes it unlimited.
Can I control the projector, stage, and livestream separately?
Yes. LlamaPresenter gives you three views: Projector, Stage, and Lower Third. Each screen can show different content while everything stays connected to the same presentation.
Can I add extra projector screens, like a foyer TV or a second campus room?
Yes, on Pro. You can open the free Main Screen link on as many devices as you like, and they will all mirror the same slide. Extra named screens can each have their own resolution, look, and content. A foyer TV can stay on announcements while the main room runs the service.
Can I use my phone as a remote?
Yes. You can control your presentation from your phone. Move between slides and change what is being shown without staying next to the main computer.
Can I create my own templates?
Yes. You can start with our built-in templates or create your own. Design custom templates for Bible verses and lyrics on your projector or livestream.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. LlamaPresenter has a desktop app for Mac and Windows included with Pro. The web app also works on both platforms and other devices with a modern browser.
Is LlamaPresenter only for large churches?
No. LlamaPresenter works for churches of any size, from a single projector to a full setup with a stage display and livestream.
Why should I choose LlamaPresenter over ProPresenter?
Choose LlamaPresenter if you want a straightforward way to run multilingual Bible verses and lyrics, projector and stage outputs, livestream graphics, and remote control. You can start free, and Pro includes the desktop app without a separate license. ProPresenter may suit teams that need complex layered media, show control, or specialized broadcast workflows. LlamaPresenter still covers 90% of the ProPresenter features most churches use. See the full comparison
Can I use LlamaPresenter for livestreams?
Yes. The stream output is an ordinary web page with a transparent background, so it works with OBS, vMix, Wirecast, Streamlabs, Ecamm Live or any other tool that can take a browser source. Add a browser source, paste your LlamaPresenter stream link, and your Bible verses, lyrics and name cards appear over the camera in your livestream.
Can I use it for song lyrics?
Yes. You can add your songs and display lyrics on your projector, stage display, or livestream. You can also import song lyrics from a file exported from ProPresenter, so you do not have to add all your songs again.
How does the projector know which session it belongs to?
Each session has its own unguessable link. Whoever opens it sees that session and nothing else. The projector needs no account or password. Treat the address like a meeting link.
Can two people run it at once?
Yes. In the web app, the console is a browser tab, so a second operator can open the same session on their own laptop and both see the same live slide.
