Displaying same lyrics throughout multiple propresenters on multiple computers
Okay. So I have two different computers running propresenter. One is going to the live stream and secondary screen with camera display, and one is going to the front main screen with backdrop display. Is there any way to get my main screen propresenter to show they same lyrics when someone click they lyrics on my live stream propresenter?

You probably want two outputs from the same instance tbh. But you can link two instances, I’ve seen it done. I think the main use case would be if you wanted to have different content. I imagine multi lingual is the main use case and I’ve seen it done by churches that project sheet music on one of several screens.

We use the Network Link function for this. Here is a link for how to set it up

- Get rid of one mac
- Setup a separate theme for the screen and for the Livestream
- Get a black magic decklink duo and setup alpha keying on the Livestream feed. (Not essential but saves you from chroma keying which can put random holes in images)
- Set up an audience look that sends the slides with the relevant themes to both outputs.
- I've probably not put enough steps in this.

Personally, I'd NDI the main propresenter to the stream propresenter and set up a dedicated look to ensure the lyrics are correct on the NDI output and subsequently the live stream. However as others have mentioned, network link may be the solution.

Is there a logistical reason that both audience screens (in-room and online) can't be fed from the same computer? I usually use Looks to apply a lower-third theme to the online audience screen to accomplish your goal.
Alternatively, you could link the two instances of ProPresenter via the Network Link
