Streaming your church services online doesn't have to be overwhelming. Whether you're live-streaming for the first time or enhancing your current setup, understanding how to manage both single and multi-destination streams can take your broadcast to the next level. Plus, scheduling events in advance can save you time and reduce stress on service days.

Once your encoder and destinations are set up, it’s time to go live. The process is simple: choose your encoder, add a destination (like your web stream), and hit "Go Live." You’ll be able to adjust settings such as stream title and automatic saving for on-demand access. It's a great way to test your setup before hitting the "Go Live" button, ensuring everything looks and sounds right.

Want to reach your audience across multiple platforms? You can stream to several destinations at once, like Facebook, YouTube, or your church's website. Whether you're using a preset destination group or adding individual platforms, it's easy to manage where your stream goes. You can even customize stream titles, privacy settings, and automatically save videos to your library—streaming to multiple places has never been more flexible.

This feature is a game-changer for church productions. Schedule your live streams for weeks or months at a time, and your encoder will automatically start broadcasting at the scheduled time. Set up recurring events (like weekly services), choose your destinations, and even upload a thumbnail for your stream. This saves your team valuable time and ensures consistency for your online congregation.

With these features, you can streamline your live-streaming process and focus more on the experience you’re providing for your congregation—both in-person and online.
