In a large room, people at the back see the lyrics clearly but the preacher only from far away. With Cameo, BibleSlide can show a live camera view — the preacher, the choir, a sign-language interpreter — in a small window on the slides, next to the words.
Setting it up
- Connect a webcam to the presentation computer, or use its built-in camera.
- In the BibleSlide app, open the Cameo panel and enable Cameo. Your browser asks for permission to use the camera: allow it.
- Place the camera window: drag it, resize it, or choose one of the quick positions.
- Choose a shape — rectangle, rounded, circle, portrait or square — and, if you like, a border, a shadow or a mirror image.
- Choose on which slides the camera appears: all slides, only songs, only Bible passages or only text slides.
During the service
The camera controls stay on the presenter’s screen, never on the projector. Press V to show or hide the camera window, and Shift + V to switch the camera on or off.
Your privacy
Cameo shows the camera image live and nothing more. The video is not recorded, not uploaded and not sent to BibleSlide: it stays on the computer that shows it. Cameo uses video only — never the microphone — and the camera turns off when the presentation ends. Your Cameo settings save only the layout, never an image.
Before you show people on a big screen, tell your congregation, and be especially careful with children. Respect goes further than any technology.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
King James Version
Test it on a weekday first: good light on the face matters more than an expensive camera.
