Worship-team phones: hear the cues instead of reading them
Musicians cannot read a screen across the room. A team phone speaks the leader's cues, and keeps the click, so the screen can stay locked.

A band member holding an instrument cannot look at a stage screen. So a phone joined to the team does not show the remote. It listens, and speaks the leader's cues out loud.
Join as a team member
- On the desktop, open Remote and choose Worship Team or Worship Leader under Pair next device as. See Choose a role for each phone.
- Show the QR code or PIN, as in Pair a phone as the remote, and join from the phone.
- Approve the device on the desktop when asked. The phone shows Awaiting approval until you do.
What the phone does
- Speaks each cue the worship leader or pastor sends, such as "Repeat chorus".
- Shows the cue on screen for a few seconds, for when the phone is face up on a stand.
- Follows the click. The desktop turns it on and off. The phone only listens.
- Can hear the talkback microphone when the booth speaks to the band.
- Can ask the booth to put a message in front of the congregation. A Worship Team phone cannot put words on the stage monitor.
Stay in control of the sound
- Mute cues keeps cues on the screen but silent. Use Unmute cues to bring the voice back.
- Mute metronome silences the click sound. The haptic beat keeps going.
- Test voice plays a sample so you can check you can hear it before the service starts.
When there is nothing to show, the phone says Waiting for a cue from the worship leader. If it says Not connected to the desktop, see The phone will not pair, or keeps disconnecting.

- Choose a role for each phone: Pastor, Media Team, Worship Leader or Worship TeamEvery phone you pair gets a role that decides what it may do, so a drummer cannot black out the screen and a pastor can still draw on a verse.
