The short answer: is MediaShout right for your church?
MediaShout is church presentation software for lyrics, scripture and media that you can still buy once instead of renting. It's best for churches that want to stop paying a monthly bill for the booth computer. The catch: the Mac version is the older MediaShout 6, and the cheapest subscription covers just one computer.
Who MediaShout is for
Great for
- Churches that would rather pay once than add another subscription
- Churches with several Windows computers that can share one site license
- Booth teams that pull songs from CCLI SongSelect every week
Skip it if
- Mac-only churches that want the newest version. Look at presentation software built for Mac and Windows equally.
- Teams that build slides together from home. A cloud-based presentation app fits that better.
How churches use MediaShout
Sunday lyrics and scripture
Pull this week's songs from SongSelect and drop in the sermon passage from one of 70 built-in Bible translations. CCLI usage is reported automatically.
Confidence screen for the band
Send lyrics and the next slide to a stage screen so the worship leader isn't turning around to read the projector.
Feeding the livestream
Send MediaShout's output over your network with NDI so your streaming computer can add lyrics to the camera shot.

What will you put on the screens?
MediaShout runs the service, but it doesn't make the backgrounds behind your lyrics. Remix Motions are moving loops in HD and 4K for worship, countdowns and stage screens, ready to drop into your playlist.
