How do I stream church services online?
Streaming your services lets members worship from home, while travelling, or catch up later. You don’t need a broadcast studio — just a practical setup that’s reliable week after week, rain or shine.
What you need
A camera (even a good webcam or a phone to start), audio from your sound desk if possible, a computer running OBS, and a stable internet connection. Clean audio matters more than 4K video for a service — nobody minds a soft picture, but nobody can follow a sermon they can’t hear.
Reach every platform at once
Congregations are split across YouTube, Facebook and your own website, and that’s fine — you don’t have to pick a favourite. Send a single feed to a restreaming service and relay it to all of them, and embed the player on your church site so visitors don’t have to leave to watch.
Make it reliable and repeatable
Services run on a schedule, so set the stream to go live and offline automatically each week — no scramble in the booth five minutes before the sermon. Record the service for your archive, and give volunteers the access they need without handing over billing or settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stream to YouTube and Facebook at the same time?
Yes — send one feed to Stream Repeater and add both as destinations; we relay to each from our servers.
Can the stream start automatically each week?
Yes. Set a recurring weekly schedule and Stream Repeater enables and disables the stream for each service.
