Sidekick This tutorial video walks you through using the Wheel of Destiny feature in Sidekick Pro to create fun, customizable spinning wheels for your ministry or events.
You’ll learn how to create a new Wheel of Destiny document from scratch, rename it, and add up to 30 wedges using three different methods: adding items one at a time, adding bulk items all at once, or generating items automatically with AI. The video also covers how to customize each wedge by changing its color, win/lose outcome sound, and win probability (including setting items to “never win” for fun impossible prizes).
You’ll also see how to adjust display options like wheel themes, colors, background images, and the wheel’s position on screen. Josh then demonstrates how to run the wheel either directly or as part of a presentation, using the control panel to toggle sounds, hide previously won items, preview or pre-select the next winner, adjust spin duration for added suspense, cycle through items, and even trigger a comedic “weak spin.” By the end, you’ll know how to set up, customize, and run a Wheel of Destiny that adds excitement and interactivity to your program.
