Live Streaming

Use It When...

...you need to deliver a message longer than our free on demand services offer (currently 15-minutes for video and 60-minutes for audio). Streaming a worship service is a great example of when you might want to choose live streaming.

What You Need

Step-by-Step

  1. Log in to your UStream.tv account.
    (If you don't have a free account, sign up.)
  2. Select the "My Shows" link.
  3. Choose the "Share" tab.
  4. Copy the video embed code, paste it into your page and publish it to your site.
  5. Click the "Broadcast Now" button and allow the site access to your camera.
  6. Choose the "Start Broadcast" button in the Broadcast dialog box.
