Before your first service

Your browser asks a few questions the first time you present. Answer them once on a weekday, not on Sunday morning. Use Chrome or Microsoft Edge on the computer connected to the projector or TV.

1. Your monitors

On your first Go Live, the browser asks to “manage windows on all your displays”. Choose Allow: that's how Himnia lists the projector or TV and opens the presentation there.

2. The presentation window

With the “Browser window” output, the presentation opens in its own window. If the browser blocks it, click the blocked pop-up icon at the right of the address bar and choose “Always allow” for this site. Press F11 in that window for full screen.

3. The Presenter app (optional, recommended)

For a true full screen on the projector, install the Presenter app and choose the “Presenter app” output. On Go Live the browser asks “Open Himnia Presenter?”: tick “Always allow” and click Open. Windows may warn the first time you install it: click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.

4. Connection to the Presenter app

Chrome may ask to “access other apps and services on this device” or your local network. Choose Allow: that's how live changes reach the Presenter app and OBS on this computer.

5. Sound from videos

A browser presentation window plays videos muted until someone clicks in it once. The Presentation panel warns you when that happens. The Presenter app plays sound without a click.

6. Cameras

The Live video tab asks for the camera the first time. Choose Allow to use webcams, OBS Virtual Camera or capture cards.

If you clicked “Block” by mistake

Browsers don't let a site ask twice, so the fix is in the browser: click the icon at the left of the address bar, open this site's permissions, and set the blocked one to Allow. The Presentation panel's “Ready to present” section shows what's blocked and how to fix it.
