Captions on the main screen, without a new screen.
Not everyone will take out a phone. Put the translation on the display the room is already looking at, in the presentation software your team already knows.
One URL, pasted into a browser source.
The booth gives you a link. No plugin, no driver, no new box in the rack.
Pick a look, then make it yours.
Lower third
A single band across the bottom. The safest choice when the screen is already busy with lyrics or slides.
Original + translation
Both languages stacked, the source above and the translation below — good for classrooms and bilingual audiences.
Describe the look you want
Type what you're after in plain words — "thin white type, no box, bottom left" — and the overlay design is written for you.
The screen serves the room. Phones serve the individual.
A shared screen can only carry one or two languages. Everything else lives on phones, where each person picks their own.
Overlay questions.
Does it cover our lyrics or slides?
No — the overlay background is transparent, so it sits as a layer above your existing content. You choose where on the screen it sits and how much room it takes.
We use PowerPoint, which has no browser source.
Use the floating overlay from the Koine desktop app instead. It's an always-on-top window that hovers over PowerPoint, Keynote, or anything else on that display.
Can we show captions in the source language for accessibility?
Yes. Running the overlay in the same language as the speaker gives the room live same-language captions, which is often the reason a venue turns it on in the first place.
Which plans include overlays?
Overlays are included from the Standard plan upward, and in every event pass. See pricing.
