ProPresenter is live-production presentation software for churches, schools, conferences and other multi-screen environments. This independent guide covers the official ProPresenter download, system requirements, installation and the settings that help keep a live service running smoothly.
Every download link on this site points to the official Renewed Vision website. We do not host installers.
ProPresenter is live production software from Renewed Vision for macOS and Windows. Where a normal slide deck plays in a straight line, ProPresenter assumes the running order will change: a speaker skips a passage, a song adds a chorus, an announcement is cut for time. The operator view is separate from configured audience and stage outputs, so the control interface does not need to be shown to the room.
The feature list is long, but these are the six things teams rely on every week once the room fills up.
Send different content to the audience screen, the stage display and lobby or overflow monitors at the same time, each with its own resolution and layout.
Build lyric slides once, reuse them across services, and adjust arrangement, font and background on the fly without breaking the flow of a set.
Play backgrounds, bumpers, countdowns and announcement loops with fades and transitions, with audio routed to your sound system separately from system audio.
Search a passage, send it live and step through verses while the speaker is talking, without leaving the presentation view or losing your place in the set.
Feed a clean or keyed output to your switcher, encoder or capture card so lower thirds and lyrics reach the online audience as well as the room.
Stack background, media, text and masks on one slide so a single click changes everything the room sees, instead of cueing three tools at once.
Nothing here is complicated, but skipping a step is how teams end up troubleshooting during a service instead of before it.
Compare your operating system, RAM, storage and GPU against the current requirements before you download anything.
Take the macOS or Windows build straight from the official Renewed Vision download page so the file is signed and current.
Run the installer, then respond to any macOS or Windows permission prompts required by the features you plan to use.
Set your audience and stage outputs, import media, build one test playlist and rehearse before the room is full.
Requirements move with each release. The operating-system figures below are vendor-published; hardware capacity depends on your total pixels, media and output count.
Worth knowing: Renewed Vision identifies total output pixels, source/output resolution and video compression as major performance factors. Test your real show on the real output chain before buying or replacing hardware. Full detail is in our system requirements guide.
The software is widely used in worship production, and the same multi-screen workflow can also suit rooms where the running order changes live.
Lyrics, scripture, sermon points and countdowns handled by a volunteer operator with a clear stage display for the band and speaker.
Assemblies, award ceremonies and open days where the same slides need to reach a hall screen and an overflow room at once.
Session titles, speaker lower thirds, timers and sponsor loops driven from one machine across main stage and breakout screens.
A keyed output feeding a switcher so online viewers get lyrics and graphics without a second graphics operator.
Announcement loops, scoreboards on secondary displays and quick text changes between fixtures or community events.
New volunteers can learn the interface on a non-production copy at home, then move to the authorized production machine already knowing the layout.
Five steps, in order. On macOS, some inputs can require Camera or Microphone permission; other permissions depend on the features and devices you use.
On macOS open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. On Windows press Windows + Pause or open Settings, then System, then About. Compare the result with the compatibility table above.
Choose the macOS or the Windows installer on the official download page. Choose the build for the operating system you are actually running, and use the vendor page rather than a mirror.
On Windows run the .exe and follow the prompts. On macOS open the .dmg and drag ProPresenter into Applications. Do not launch the app until the copy finishes.
On macOS, ProPresenter may request Camera and Microphone access when you add certain video inputs. Other prompts depend on the feature, device and macOS version. Approve only the permissions required for your workflow, and use the vendor troubleshooting steps if an input is unavailable.
Assign your audience and stage outputs, import a few songs and clips, then run a full rehearsal on the real hardware before a live service.
The button below opens the official ProPresenter download page, where you can choose the macOS or Windows build of the current release. We do not host, mirror or repackage the installer, and there is no account to create on this site.

Presentation machines usually sit on the same network as sound desks, cameras and streaming encoders, which makes them a poor place to take risks with unknown software.
ProPresenter is not the only presentation option, and clean live output depends on an active trial, subscription or qualifying legacy licence. Here are the practical trade-offs to consider.
Exact build numbers change often, so this table describes the release tracks rather than a version string that dates within weeks.
| Release | Platform | Status | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current release line | macOS and Windows | Current | Use the latest stable build published by Renewed Vision for new installations. The active line is 21.x as of August 2026. |
| ProPresenter 17–20 | macOS and Windows | Legacy | Previous major release lines. Renewed Vision also lists ProPresenter 7.16.3 and older 7.x builds in its version history for legacy workflows. |
| ProPresenter 6 | macOS and Windows | Legacy | End-of-life software for older systems. Plan migration rather than treating it as a current supported baseline. |
| Beta builds | Opt in | Testing | Pre-release builds are for testing. Avoid changing the production machine immediately before a live event. |
See our current version and release-history guide, then verify the exact build and release notes on the vendor download page.

Symptom
The download finished but nothing happens, or your system blocks the file.
Fix
Re-download from the official page, confirm you chose the correct operating system, and review the publisher/signature and the security message your operating system shows before changing any protection setting. If the file disappears, check your security software's quarantine/history.
Symptom
The projector or TV shows a desktop instead of your slides.
Fix
Confirm the operating system still detects the display, verify the intended display arrangement, then re-select the correct Audience or Stage output inside ProPresenter Screen Configuration. If the display is missing at the OS level, check the cable, adapter or signal path before changing ProPresenter settings.
Symptom
Playback is smooth on the operator screen but jerky in the room.
Fix
Compare the problem clip with a known-good file, check its codec and bitrate against Renewed Vision's current guidance, test from fast local storage, and review ProPresenter performance statistics while all intended outputs are active.
Symptom
A logo or bar appears over everything the audience sees.
Fix
For a current subscription, sign in inside ProPresenter and confirm an active seat is assigned to this machine. For a legacy licence, confirm registration is active. Then verify the audience output again.
