How do I install a Bible version?

How can I play Youtube videos?

YouTube does not work well within Pro­P­re­sen­ter due to the way the YouTube web­site works. You can read more about why here.

One solution is to click and drag a web browser win­dow onto your pro­jec­tor dis­play and load it in full screen. This can present a risk, as you are rely­ing on live con­tent that you have lit­tle con­trol over (loading/buffering etc).

The best way to play a YouTube clip is to con­tact the con­tent cre­ator directly and request a file copy that you can use. You must make sure that you are not using copyrighted material without the proper permission. Click here to read more about copyright.
