Clear Answers

Use Cases & Printables FAQ

Are all the printable posters, desk cards, and checklists free to download?

Yes. Every poster, pew card, reception tent card, and technical setup checklist is 100% free to download as a print-ready PDF, and you can also customize posters with your own room name and broadcast code right on each sector page.

How does the Broadcast Room Code on the printable posters work?

When you turn on Broadcast mode inside Zip Captions, you set a static room code. You write or print that room code on your wall poster or table card so students, congregation members, or event attendees can read live captions on their own phones or laptops.

Does our organization need to install software to use Zip Captions?

No. Zip Captions runs directly inside modern web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Brave, and Opera) on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and smartphones.
