I used wardtools.org this past weekend for our stake conference. It worked extremely well, and has the new hymns included. It has the ability to advance or click on what you want to view- fantastic for skipping verses. This also allows to view the names of speakers, prayers, callings, etc. It's a very useful and quick tool. The only complaint that I received was the names can be difficult to read at times because it's white text without a background. I'll play around with it more over the next few months to improve.

I have used wardtools.org as well for the last couple of years when it comes to Stake Conference. We handle our Ward Sacrament Meetings differently so OBS isn't a part of those. @dmbass, I'm not sure why you aren't seeing a background, maybe your css on the browser source might have change things, because I get a very similar overlay background like they use at Stake Conference.

I took it a step further, I utilize a Stream Deck so I built a custom plugin to be able to use WardTools.org's overlay, but be able to call on my Lower thirds (names of speakers, prayers, callings, etc) with a press of a button. I am looking to integrate hymns with it, so I'll be hoping to bring the ability to select which verses (all will be selected by default) like you stated.

Ward Tools and the Stream Deck has made it easier for me to handle this without the need of my mouse, or phone to control it.
