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 — here’s a practical setup that’s reliable week after week.
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.
Reach every platform at once
Congregations are split across YouTube, Facebook and your own website. Rather than choosing one, 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. Record the service for your sermon 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.
