Set up your church

What you need

• Your church’s address and time zone.
• Someone already runs your church’s screens with Displayte? Then don’t set up a new one: ask them to invite you. See Invite a volunteer.

You

The first time you sign in, Displayte asks for your First name and Last name, and, if you like, Your role at the church (optional), like “Kids’ pastor” or “Media volunteer”. Choose Next.

Your church

1. Under Church or campus name, type its name. You can rename it later.
2. Fill in its address: Street address, City or town and Country. An apartment or suite, a state or region, and a ZIP or postal code are optional.
3. Under Time zone, choose your church’s. Every time on your church’s pages, and each presentation’s date, reads in it.
4. Choose Set up my church. You’re its owner.

Your plan

Next, Displayte asks you to choose a plan, or Skip for now. Until there’s a plan, files and TVs can’t be added. See Plans and screens.

Home’s checklist

Home shows Get your church set up: five steps, each ticked when Displayte sees it done, not when you say so.

1. Add your church’s address
2. Choose a plan
3. Add a TV
4. Add your files
5. Put a presentation on a TV

Each step that’s left has its button or link. It counts as you go, like 1 of 5 done, and goes away once every step is done. Owners and admins see it.

The 2-minute tour

Once your plan is on, Home offers Take the 2-minute tour: “New to Displayte? See where everything is.” It shows you where to add your pictures, make a presentation, add a TV and choose what it shows. Choose Skip if you’d rather not, or End the tour at any time.

To take it again, the Help page has Take the 2-minute tour, for owners and admins.

Good to know

• Everything here can be changed later. See Change your church’s name or time zone.
• For your first Sunday: Add a TV, then Put a presentation on a TV.
