Spotlight

Spotlight is for the one thing you most want people to notice: a baptism Sunday, a new sermon series, the fall retreat. It’s a big photo or short silent video with a title, and then a button, a form or nothing.

Set it up #

1. Add the blockClick + Add block → ✨ Spotlight.
2. Write the wordsSmall text above the title (like “This Sunday”), the Title, an optional Date and time, and a line or two of text.
3. Add a photo or videoSee below.
4. Choose what goes underneathA button, A form or Nothing.

Photo or video #

Under Photo or video, set Show to:

• A photo: upload one or paste a link.
• A video (plays silently on a loop): upload a short clip under 6 MB, or paste a link to an .mp4 file (Dropbox share links work). It plays muted, like a moving photo. A 5 to 10 second clip is plenty. Add a cover photo to show while it loads.

Then frame it:

• Darken behind the text keeps a white title readable on a bright photo.
• Zoom, Left / right and Up / down pick the part of the picture that shows.
• Banner height sets how tall it is.
• Text placement puts the words Under the photo or On top of the photo.

Underneath: a button or a form #

• A button: set its text and what it opens, like any button.
• A form: a short sign-up right there, with questions you choose (name, email and phone to start). Answers arrive in the portal with your connect card answers, labeled with the Spotlight’s title.
