How to get the most out of ApexSlides

Fast setup and network basics

ApexSlides runs locally on the main computer or server. Other devices connect through a web browser, so projector, stage monitor and remote do not need their own standalone application.

As long as all devices share the same network, you can open Admin, Projector, Stage and Remote from the dashboard and start working immediately.

Song library, slides and chord editing

The editor is designed for readable slide breaks, verse tags and multiple chord versions for the band.

Long songs can be prepared with clean slide segmentation for the audience while the stage monitor keeps a richer view with chords and notes.

• Fast search in the song library.
• Editing lyrics, chords and categories in one place.
• Simple drag-and-drop flow into the playlist.

Bible lookup and liturgical texts

Bible verses and readings can be found directly inside the app. During a sermon or liturgy you can send them to the projector without switching to a separate program.

That also helps with daily readings, short quotes and other texts inserted between songs.

• Search by book, chapter or keyword.
• Push verses directly to live projection.
• Useful for Mass, worship and teaching settings.

Backgrounds, media and visual polish

You can attach images, videos and standalone media slides to songs. The system aims for smooth switching so the audience view stays calm and reliable.

Blackout, clear text and logo modes are available instantly during a live program.

• Custom images and videos as backgrounds.
• Quick visual changes during the service.
• Cleaner audience experience without jarring jumps.

Stage monitor and mobile control

Musicians can see the current lyrics, chords, next slide, next song and their own notes on stage.

If needed, you can also advance lyrics from a phone through the Remote interface, which is useful when the operator needs to move around.

• Chord-friendly stage view.
• Phone remote without extra installation.
• Better coordination between control room and band.
