Church livestreaming

Platforms for delivering live church video to a website, social channels, remote congregations and, in some cases, other campuses.

Livestreaming is an operational service, not just a video destination. A successful trial should include a normal service, the actual venue connection and the people who will operate it week after week.

Questions to ask

  • What fails over when the venue internet connection drops or becomes congested?
  • Will the platform let the church use its own website, YouTube and social destinations in the way it needs?
  • What is included in the subscription, and which hardware, storage or monitoring costs are additional?
  • Who can respond quickly during the times the church actually broadcasts?

Selection criteria

  • Reliability at the church’s actual internet connection and service times
  • Where the stream can be watched, embedded and retained after the service
  • Encoder, camera, audio and volunteer-operating requirements
  • Support availability when a Sunday broadcast goes wrong
