Everything for live

Built for the moment it matters

From the first slide to the last word, Telestrator Live keeps the booth, the iPad and the big screen perfectly in sync.

Draw from the iPad

Apple Pencil with automatic palm rejection. Strokes appear on the pastor's screen instantly and on the wall a frame later.

Verses on every graphic

Attach captions to a slide that auto-show when it goes live. Multiple verses cycle on screen with a tap — styled exactly how you want.

Push in on the detail

Zoom and pan into any part of a graphic live, so the room focuses on the one thing being circled — without touching your source files.

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 collapsible, renamable sections. Drag to reorder or move between them — your whole service, ready to fire.

Runs in any browser

Open the booth in any browser on any computer — nothing to install and always up to date. Your whole setup lives in the cloud and is ready the moment 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 mirrors the exact frame.

02

Draw on it

The pastor circles, underlines and highlights from the iPad — pixel-perfect over 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.

Free iPad companion app

Draw live, straight from your iPad

The free Telestrator Live app for iPad lets your pastor scan the code from the booth and connect in seconds — no setup, no account to sign into. Then circle, underline and highlight right on the big screen with Apple Pencil.

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 and nothing 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 floats over 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 all it takes. Strokes and controls are tiny and light, so it runs smoothly on typical church Wi-Fi.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — and you start without a card. When your free week ends, add a card to keep going; cancel in two clicks from Manage billing and you keep access until the end of your billing period.
