Commercial Sound and Video Systems
Prior to the outbreak of the Coronavirus many Churches were already streaming their services live on their websites or social media. However, due to the recent shelter in place orders, all Churches and Houses of Worship are now faced with the decision to either find a way to offer virtual services to their members or pause church services altogether.
For Churches who were already streaming, this was an easy adjustment, however, there may be a need to perfect their delivery. For Houses of Worship that had not previously streamed services live, they are now faced with the need to quickly adapt.

Live streaming is ideal for churches looking to continue to stream services for their congregation even while they are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19. They are also ideal in the future to enable members of your church to attend services even if they are home sick or traveling. Live streaming also makes it possible for those who don’t live in your area to virtually attend your church services. These platforms also give you the ability to make your church services available as video on demand so members can go back and watch services they may have missed or want to re-watch.
There are many streaming services available to consumers, some of which are dedicated to houses of worship and others that offer general streaming services. Some things to consider when choosing a streaming service platform is whether it allows you to embed videos on your website, share them to social media, store videos for future replays, and where your church members can watch your services. Some platforms that are dedicated to churches also offer live chat features, prayer request plug-ins, Bible and scripture integrations, and video analytics.
Of course, there are plethora of options to stream your church services, two great options include:
YouTube: In order to live stream on YouTube, you must first have a YouTube account. Once you have that set up, all you need to do is go into your Creator Studio and click Stream Now to get started streaming your videos through YouTube.
Facebook: Similar to YouTube you’ll need a Facebook account for your church in order to begin a live stream. Once that is set up, You’ll need to connect the live stream to your device so you can begin streaming. Full directions for this process can be found here.
