Made for three kinds of Christmas gathering
The same simple way to share the words, whatever the room looks like.
Church carol night
Visitors do not know the words, and a printed booklet is one more thing to hand out. They scan the QR and see the same line as everyone else.
- Show the QR on the big screen or print a sheet for the door.
- Regulars and guests sing from the same page.
Home or small group
No projector, no laptop, no cables. Put the words on the phones that are already in the room and sing in the living room.
- Send the link on WhatsApp the day before.
- A TV works as a shared screen if you have one.
Choir or community sing-along
When a crowd sings, the hard part is staying together. One leader moves the words, and everyone is on the same line.
- The leader moves the words from a phone, from anywhere in the room.
- Helpers can lead from their own phones too.

Lead the words
Press Next on your phone. Everyone sees the same line at the same moment, on their own phone and on the big screen.

Questions people ask
Do people need an app or an account?
No. People scan the QR, tap the link you send, or type the join number at join.ormilio.com. The words open in the browser they already have. Only the person who leads signs in.
Is an internet connection required?
Yes, in the usual way. The leader and the people following need Wi-Fi or mobile data, and the words are light enough for slow connections. If the connection drops, the leader's device keeps going with the words it has already opened, and phones catch up when it returns. Phones with no connection at all cannot follow yet, so keep a printed fallback.
What is free?
The kit is free, with no email address. Ormilio is free to start: up to 10 songs, 20 people at once and 1 gathering. Bigger groups can upgrade.
How many people can join?
Up to 20 people at once on Free, up to 100 on Ormilio Plus, and no limit on Ormilio Premium.
Can we use our own songs?
Yes. Paste your own words and each verse becomes a screen. Use only texts you have the right to share with your group.
Does the kit include licensed lyrics?
No. The kit has no song lyrics, Bible translations or prayers. It has empty song slots and a worksheet to note where you get permitted lyrics. A traditional title or an old melody does not mean a particular translation or arrangement is free to copy.
Can we use a shared screen?
Yes. On a TV, a projector or a laptop, open join.ormilio.com/tv and type the number your phone shows when you choose Show on the big screen. You can show the QR there too, and people can still follow on their phones.
Can guests take part without their own phone?
Yes. They can follow on the shared screen at the front, read over a neighbor's phone, or use printed words that you prepare from texts you may copy. You can also print a sheet with the QR for the door and the chairs.
