That's it. Song7 handles the slide creation for you.

Tips for Better Presentations
Test your setup - Run through everything before people arrive. Check text size from the back of the room.
Use simple backgrounds - Busy images make text hard to read. Solid colors or subtle patterns work best.
Size matters - What looks good on your laptop might be tiny on the big screen. Go bigger than you think.
Have a backup - Technology happens. Keep printed lyrics handy just in case.
What This Isn't
Song7 presentations are focused and simple - perfect for displaying lyrics and basic content.
If you need animations, transitions, complex layouts, or video, you'll want dedicated presentation software. Song7 keeps it straightforward so you can focus on worship, not wrestling with slides.
Common Setup
Typical configuration:
- Your laptop/computer runs Song7
- Second screen/projector for congregation
- You control from your device
- They
see clean, readable lyrics
