MediaShout Overview

What is MediaShout?

MediaShout’s roots go back to the 1990s. While working for Josh McDowell and Acquire The Fire, the company’s four founders saw the need for a tool that would help run live worship presentations. The technology was changing and the ability to incorporate media into worship was becoming easier, while churches and other ministries were looking to move away from hymnals and overhead transparencies. Rather than buy an existing program from the entertainment industry, they decided to write their own worship software, which came to market in March of 2000. The concept was so new, the term Church Presentation Software hadn’t even been coined; these four literally invented the category. MediaShout quickly found a home among youth pastors. This was the kind of technology and media conduit they needed to make worship more relevant, as well as a way to engage and enlist members of their youth groups. As a result, the program became so successful that we couldn’t produce it fast enough. 20 years later, we are selling our seventh major release and tens of thousands of churches are using MediaShout to add another dimension to their worship. Our offices are located in Nashville, Tennessee, a thriving city that’s home to many faith-based businesses.

What do you like best about MediaShout?

Having the words to music and scripture already preloaded is very convenient. It's nice to not have to type in every new piece. Linking to CCLI accounts makes projecting lyrics simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaShout?

Software is not quite as updated as it could be. Could be more user friendly and modern, sleek and simple to use. Feels a little outdated even with the more updated versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaShout?

I have not found anything I like yet about the software. I have REALLY tried to like this software since others have mentioned it being good for their church Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaShout?

It is clunky and non-intuitive. there is no help button (online help only). Even the demo presentation crashes while paging through. Does not support powerpoint as stated. Is not a good solution if your church is trying to convert from powerpoint to a more advanced interface. Have to pay extra for backgrounds/media/art. You have to buy a $1000 computer to go with the software (according to their recommendations), and then the program still doesn't work correctly. Online support is slow, and phone support is only available when no one is at church. We sank $1400 into a computer and this software, and now we are forced to go back to powerpoint just to accomplish anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaShout:

I would seriously consider EasyWorship or Powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaShout solving and how is that benefiting you?

There have been no benefits. We wasted $1400 where we could have just kept using powerpoint and our old computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaShout?

I love how easy it is to use MediaShout to create a service slideshow for the church I work for. There are numerous bible editions available, songs, etc. Moving items around is a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaShout?

It would be nice if you could add clipart while in the MediaShout program rather than having to create the whole slide outside of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaShout:

I highly recommend MediaShout to any church who is looking to project their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaShout solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use MediaShout to display the words to our church worship service. This helped us to get more people to sing along during congregation songs because the words are easy to see and in a better position. It also helped our senior members to see the entire service. Often time the bulletins we print are too small for them to read while keeping up with the service. We also save a TON of paper by showing the service on the screen rather than printing everything. We only print an outline now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaShout?

I like the ability to create music files with specific song lyrics. The ability to customize slide shows by piecing different songs together that are stored in the larger database. Makes presentations a snap. I love being able to drop Godtube and youtube and bluefish videos directly into the que. I like the ability to create transitions and keep the slide show alive and fun. I like that the updated versions run in sync with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaShout?

Cursor is positioned wrong when deleting a page break in a Lyric cue.

Stage previewer does not work if no actual stage display is connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaShout solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to easily create and edit lyrics for worship sets. It is easy to teach new tech people and volunteers how to use our system. This solves a problem with vital and needed manpower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mediashout is easy to use. It gives the church complete control over what the presentation looks like while adding helpful tools like bible entries and song lyrics. It saves us a lot of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaShout?

The interface could be more modern. It wouldn't hurt for the menus to be easier to use either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaShout solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use MediaShout to save time and energy when putting our presentations together. It does this well by making it so that we no longer have to look up lyrics and bible verses. They are easy to insert into the presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
