Frequently asked questions
Short answers for the people who run FlowCast during the service.
Does FlowCast need the internet during the service?
No. The Bible versions, the speech recognition, and the verse search are on the computer. The first time you click Listen, FlowCast downloads the speech model. Do this one time before your first service.
Which computers can listen to the sermon?
A Mac with Apple silicon and a Windows PC. On a Mac, the speech model runs on the Neural Engine. On Windows, it runs on the CPU and uses more of it.
Can I stop verses from going live on their own?
Yes. Turn off Auto go live in the top bar. Each verse the preacher names then waits in the preview until you send it live. Detected passages go live only when you send them.
Which Bible versions are included?
30 English versions, such as the KJV, NIV (1984), NKJV, ESV, NLT, and AMPC. You can download more English versions from eBible.org in Settings. Most versions are under copyright, so get permission from each publisher.
Can I use my ProPresenter slides?
Yes, from ProPresenter 7. Import .pro or .probundle files in the Presentations panel. Scripture slides become themes, and the other slides of each file become a presentation. ProPresenter 6 files do not import.
Can I show verses in Zoom or Google Meet?
Yes. Turn on Web page in Settings. FlowCast then shows the audience screen in a browser tab, and you share that tab in the call.
Does FlowCast send data anywhere?
Yes. By default, FlowCast collects usage data, such as the transcript and the audio of each listening, and uploads it to the FlowCast team. Turn off the collection in File › Collect Usage Data, or the upload in Settings › Usage data.
