What MediaShout is
MediaShout is church presentation software for displaying lyrics, scripture, sermon points, and visual media during worship gatherings and events. It runs on Windows and macOS, supports PowerPoint import, and includes Presenter mode. Operators get a separate control screen from the audience display, while most versions add a third output for a stage display or livestream. The software includes more than 2,300 worship song lyrics and 70 Bible translations. CCLI SongSelect integration lets users search for and import licensed songs and generate usage reports. Listed integrations also include Pixabay, Unsplash, Shift Worship, and NDI. Presentation tools cover sermon building, slide templates, automatic text pagination, timed advance, and scheduled playback. MediaShout 7 offers a free 14-day trial without requiring a credit card, but there is no free plan. MediaShout says its software is designed for churches and presentation volunteers. Standard support uses live chat and tickets; tickets may take 18–24 hours for a response. Plus Membership adds phone support, Sunday morning live chat, training resources, and faster ticket targets. MediaShout’s listed plans include Windows and Mac software, media subscriptions, and membership options.
