  • Go On-Air from the current slide: Shift + F5

Navigating slides while on air

Proclaim automatically generates hotkeys for slides which you can see in the bottom right corner of the slides while On-Air. When presenting a service item, press the letter/number on the keyboard corresponding to the letter/number on a specific slide to jump directly to that slide within the service item. 

Hotkeys for song service items typically include C for chorus, B for bridge, and the first letter/number of each verse label for verses. Multi-slide service items of other types have the numbers 1 - 9 as hotkeys for slides 1-9.
