What is VerseCAST?

VerseCAST is a mobile-first church presentation app for iOS and Android that allows you to display Bible verses, song lyrics, and media on a smart TV, projector, or via livestream (OBS/vMix) without a computer. It works by connecting your phone to a display over WiFi, often utilizing 

YouVersion for scripture integration.

Core Setup & Usage

  1. Install & Connect: Install the VerseCAST app and ensure your phone and display (Smart TV/Chromecast) are on the same WiFi network.
  2. Connect to Display: Open the app and follow the instructions to connect to your screen via the app’s internal browser.
  3. Display Bible Verses:
    • Select ‘Scripture’ and tap the ‘+’ button to open the YouVersion Bible app.
    • Find the verse, select it, and choose “Share” to send it to VerseCAST.
    • The app generates a slide automatically.
  4. Display Songs: Import lyrics from OnSong or SongBookPRO, or use the built-in editor to create lyrics.
  5. Control the Service: Use the app to select, preview, and send songs, verses, or media to the screen, with options for color-coded song sections and, for example, transitioning to a blank background.
