The current installer and Windows app still use the name Podalls Live. They are the same app; its in-app name will change in a later release.
Install steps
Four steps to your first show.
The installer includes the app and sample show designs. You do not need a separate Visual C++ runtime.
- 01
Get the installer
The first installer will appear here once the release build publishes it.
- 02
Choose the install scope
Setup installs for all users by default and asks for administrator approval. Choose “only for me” if you need a per-user install without admin rights.
- 03
Finish Setup
Choose whether to add a desktop shortcut, then select Install. Leave “Launch Podalls Live” selected at the end to open it.
- 04
Prepare the show
Open Playout, add media, cue an item in Preview, select your displays under Screens, then take it to Program.
Check the file
Verify before you install.
The published SHA-256 identifies the exact installer for this version. Windows PowerShell can calculate the hash of the file you downloaded.
The checksum will appear here when the installer and release manifest are published. You can also check it on the release page.
After Setup
Where to start.
The app opens with a media bank, Preview and Program monitors, controls, and an output panel.
Add media
Add a PowerPoint, PDF, picture, video or audio file. Drag files into the app if that is quicker.
Choose outputs
Assign Program, Preview, Multiview or Stage to the connected displays before the audience arrives.
Set sound cards
Use Audio I/O to select devices, then set track, microphone and bus levels in the console.
Ready
Installer coming soon.
The first release is still building. Once published, this page will show its version, installer and checksum automatically.
