MediaShout Presentation Software is the premier display software for churches, available in more congregations than any other presentation software. Mediashout users can access Worshipteam.com songs in two different ways.

OPTION 1 is available to Mediashout users from version 2.5 to present. Use that method if you have anything other than Version 4 of Mediashout, or if you don’t want to import your Worshipteam.com sets directly with Mediashouts song library.

OPTION 2 is available only for Mediashout 4 users. You can directly access your Worshipteam.com sets and import the songs without ever leaving Mediashout. This requires one of your Mediashout computers to have direct access to the internet, so that Mediashout can synch with your WorshipTeam.com account and access your songs instantly for use in your Mediashout presentations.

Each of the above options are explained below, depending what your situation is.
