How to live stream a church service.
A reliable Sunday stream comes down to four things: a camera that reaches the pulpit, a way into the computer, the sound from your mixer, and a stable upload. Here's how to put them together.

Live prices from our catalogue. Bigger halls usually need more zoom or a second camera; the solution finder on our homepage works it out from your distance.
1. The camera
A PTZ camera at the back of the church, with presets for the pulpit, the choir and a wide shot, is easier for volunteers than a camcorder on a tripod. Pick the zoom from the distance (see our zoom guide).
2. Into the computer
One camera: a USB camera or an HDMI capture card. Two or more: a video switcher that cuts between them, or NDI cameras run from OBS or vMix.
3. The sound
Take a feed from your mixer (aux or a spare output) into the capture card, switcher or computer. Room microphones on the camera sound distant and echoey; the mixer feed is what makes a stream listenable.
4. Going live
OBS is free and streams to Facebook and YouTube. Use a wired internet connection, and test 30 minutes before the service. An upload of 10 Mbps or more is comfortable for 1080p.
