How to Live Stream Church Services: A Guide for Churches of All Sizes
By Jamie G
Houses of worship have been live streaming their services since before the COVID 19 pandemic, but now more than ever it’s important for congregations of all sizes to offer the live stream option. Not only is it a safe way for people to attend services but it’s also has the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
Teradek wrote up a great guide for churches to follow for getting started in live streaming. They recommend a professional camera or camcorder for better picture quality compared to your phone, a live streaming encoder, and good audio.
“If your church is interested in improving the picture quality by using a camera or camcorder instead, consider using a dedicated streaming device such as our slim, lightweight, and portable Vidiu X or Vidiu Go encoders. Encoders allow you to stream directly from your camera to the platform of your choice. These devices can be mounted on top of your camera and be set up and controlled from a mobile device for a portable and powerful setup.”

The Vidiu X hardware encoder reliably broadcasts live video from almost any location to multiple streaming platforms – in high-definition, at the touch of a button. The Vidiu Go gives you the flexibility of delivering live video in the widely accepted AVC format or taking advantage of the efficiency of H.265 during bonded cellular broadcasts. Both encoders are more reliable than using a computer-based program. Once everything is setup you can start your live stream with a push of a button!
