What's New in Steeple Cast
1.1.0
November 5, 2026
Apple TVs can now show your service in the lobby, nursery or overflow room, sound and all! Open Steeple Cast on an Apple TV, enter the iPad's join code once, and it finds the iPad by itself after that. You can turn the TV sound off from the iPad anytime. Also new in this update: - Streams can now go through the Steeple Cast relay, and if it ever falters, the iPad switches straight to YouTube within seconds, on the same video. - Lyrics now come from FreeShow and ProPresenter 7 too. If the iPad ever runs low on memory, lyrics switch themselves off and the stream keeps going. - Channel names now sync from Midas M32 and Behringer X Air / Midas MR18 boards, as well as the X32. - The iPad no longer records a backup copy of each service, and recordings from older versions are cleared out to free up space. Thanks for streaming with us!
