Everything for live
Built for the moment it matters
Telestrator Live keeps the booth, the iPad and the big screen in sync for the whole service.
Verses on every graphic
Attach verses to a slide and they show up when it goes live. Step through several verses with a tap, each styled the way you want.
Push in on the detail
Zoom and pan into any part of a graphic while it's live, so the room looks at the one thing being circled. Your source files are never changed.
Broadcast-ready
Smooth fade transitions, multi-screen sync and an ink-only overlay that drops straight into OBS, ProPresenter or vMix.
Organized media
Group graphics into sections you can collapse and rename. Drag to reorder them or move them between sections, so your whole service is ready to fire.
Runs in any browser
Open the booth in a browser on any computer. There's nothing to install, and it's always up to date. Your setup is saved in the cloud and ready as soon as you sign in.
Three screens, one flow
How it works on a Sunday
01
Set it live
The operator picks a graphic in the booth. Its verse appears automatically, and the pastor's iPad shows the exact same frame.
02
Draw on it
The pastor draws from the iPad, lined up exactly with whatever is on the screen.
03
Everyone sees
The audience display and the livestream update in real time. Clear the ink, fade to the next slide, repeat.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked
What is a telestrator?
It's the tool sports broadcasters use to draw over live video: the circles and arrows you see during game replays. Telestrator Live brings that to churches and events. Your pastor draws over sermon graphics, slides and video from an iPad, and the congregation sees every stroke instantly on the big screen. Read the full story of the telestrator →
What do I need to get started?
A computer in the booth running any browser, your projector or screens, and an iPad with Apple Pencil for drawing. Upload your graphics as images or videos and you're ready for Sunday.
How does the pastor's iPad connect?
Download the free Telestrator Live app from the App Store, or scan the QR code shown in the booth to open the drawing screen right in the browser. Either way, there's no account to sign into on the iPad.
Does it work with OBS, ProPresenter or vMix?
Yes. Put the audience view full-screen on your projector, or drop the transparent ink-only overlay into OBS, vMix or any tool that takes a browser source. The drawing sits on top of your existing video chain.
Does it replace our presentation software?
No. It works alongside whatever you already use. Keep ProPresenter, EasyWorship or your current workflow for lyrics and announcements, and use Telestrator Live for the moments the pastor wants to draw on the message: maps, diagrams, verses and sermon graphics.
Does it need internet at the venue?
Yes, a normal internet connection is enough. Strokes and controls send very little data, so typical church Wi-Fi handles it fine.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, and you start without a card. When your free week ends, add a card to keep going. You can cancel in two clicks from Manage billing, and you keep access until the end of your billing period.
