Adding older conference talks to the Gospel Library app

Post by jbwebb41 »

I am the Elder’s Quorum Secretary in my ward. I want to add older conference talks to the app for the quorum to access, but the app only allows me to add talks from the April and October 2025 conferences. Is there another way to add older conference talks, or am I out of luck?

General Handbook 8.2.1.2 - Gospel Learning in Quorum Meetings (emphasis added)
The focus should be on topics in one or more talks from the most recent general conference.
I'd say you're out of luck. It used it only be the last general conference, but I think that caused problems when scheduling lessons after a general conference.

I am the Relief Society Secretary and we want to use a talk from October 2025 general conference for a lesson in June. I can only access April. I understand the need to teach current doctrine, but the talk is only 7 months old. It is current. Can the settings be adjusted to include the TWO most recent conferences?

Not currently. Submit feedback from within the app requesting this capability be added. Be aware that the decision makers are not within the Church ICS department but from another department, such as the Family and Priesthood department, that sponsors the app.

Please note that the Handbook says about lessons "The focus should be on topics in one or more talks from the most recent general conference."

As written, it doesn't give any latitude for older conferences.
