LaymenStage 2 is free, cross-platform worship presentation software for song lyrics, Scripture, Media & YouTube, stage displays, and multi-monitor output. Built with Sabahan churches in mind — and for multimedia teams everywhere who need a simple Sunday-morning solution without the high cost of professional software.
A major upgrade for operators: review design offline, run multi-screen media, dig into original-language words, and keep backgrounds playing smoothly through the whole service.

Multi-screen Media cues, announcement templates, timers, slideshows, file video, and YouTube with ad-free local cache for preview and projector. Pick a screen card, then Go Live.
Mark verses and look up Strong’s words from English, Indonesian, Mandarin (beta), or original text. Project lexicon definitions live, then return to the verse.
Crossfade, cascade, split-fly, rise-by-word, wipes, and more — set per slide style. Shared global video backgrounds keep looping without restarting between cues.
Import PDF pages and compiled decks from .pptx in-app. LibreOffice / PowerPoint help with legacy formats. Optional Windows bridge for live PowerPoint slideshows.
Drive Flow and emergency cues from phones on your LAN (PIN-protected). Concert pads trigger live atmosphere effects — map MIDI or keyboard from the control surface.
Use a capture device as the theme background. Looping theme video stays in sync between Program Preview and the projector when you are live.
Collapsible ambient music playlist under Program Preview. Flow mixes songs, Bible, Others, Media, labels, and Doc — with Now / Next on Team Screen and sequential lyric transitions.
Built around the real-world flow of a worship service — from rehearsal to the final amen. Items marked New in 2 shipped in LaymenStage 2.
