ProPresenter Integration

For teams routing captions through ProPresenter 7 Props.

Keep overlays in a reusable Prop so captions ride above every slide. Buttons and labels mirror the ProPresenter 7 Props tray below—adapt wording if your build updates its UI polish.

If you have not copied your on-site caption link yet, start with the On-Site Captions overview.

1. Props library → Add Prop​

Click the Props icon (three stacked rectangles) along the narrow media toolbar near the Libraries column, choose a collection (Default Collection unless you segregate overlays), then press the large centered + · Add Prop chip to instantiate a transparent shell.

2. Edit the prop​

With the translucent checkerboard thumbnail selected, tap the pencil (Edit) to launch the Prop editor canvas + Inspector pairing.

3. Insert a Web object​

Name the Prop in its Inspector pane for recall (examples: LiveTranslator / OmniWord). On the inset toolbar above the canvas, tap the globe icon (Web Object) to insert a webpage layer into the Prop.

4. Place it in your caption area​

You don't need to stretch the web object across the whole canvas. Drag the white handles so the box covers only where you want subtitles—often a lower-third strip at the bottom of the slide. Captions anchor to the bottom of that box, so sizing the region is enough.

Screenshot: position the web object only where captions should appear; subtitles align to the bottom of that region.

5. Paste URL + tune Fill ▸ Web​

Leave the Web object selected inside the Objects list (Web highlighted). Inspector → Shape ▸ Fill ▸ Web → paste the HTTPS link you copied from Live (you can paste before or after resizing—the bounding box controls where pixels land on air).

Screenshot: Fill enables Web subtype; OmniWord URLs often show only the trailing /overlay parameters after ProPresenter trims the hostname—overwrite with the clipboard copy if PP leaves the field truncated.

6. Second on-screen language (Pro and above)​

Pro plans and above can show two overlay languages at once—for example English in a lower-third and Japanese at the top. On Live, select both on-site caption languages and copy each link separately. In ProPresenter, add a second web object in another region of the Prop; the lang= parameter in each URL selects which language appears there.

Enable or clear this Prop alongside other broadcast layers so translators stay synced without editing each worship slide individually.
