Your online Audience matters

Your stream viewers need to know what's happening on the screen. Add a subtitle display to your stream with just a few easy steps.

Basic setup

VerseCAST provides additional displays that you can add to your Sunday service stream as a webpage running on VerseCAST presenter device. You just need to set a web browser as a screen source in your streaming software.

Follow these steps to set everything up.

  • The device running VerseCAST needs to have static IP address within your local network. This is necessary so your display URL won't change every time you reconnect to your WiFi.

    This is a limitation of internet protocols and hardware.

    Please remember that the streaming device and VerseCAST presenter need to be on the same network.

  • Your device wifi adapter has a unique name that you need to provide to your network administrator.

    On your device go to "Settings" > "WiFi" and click the (i) icon next to the WiFi you are connecting to.

    iOS:

    - Disable "Private Wi-Fi Address"

    - Write down the information in "Wi-Fi Address" field

    Android:

    - Tap "Privacy" > "Use device MAC address"

    - Write down "MAC address"

  • Contact your network administrator to look in to DHCP settings on your router and reserve specific IP address for your device.

    He will need you to provide the "MAC address" you wrote down in the previous step.

    After the router settings are updated you need to reconnect to your Wi-Fi.

    TIP: In your router settings search for DHCP, Fixed IP Address, Static IP, Address reservation e.t.c.
