9 ways to do live in churches, this is part 5. We cover in the first how to do it as a webcam, in the second, with multi webcams, in the third, with a camcorder or DSLR, in the fourth with multi camcorders or DSLRs. Now we go into an even simpler one, than the webcam, which is on your smartphone.
So you can do live in church, you already know that, go on Instagram, go live, go on YouTube, go live, go on Facebook go live and that’s it, it’s over! But there are some variants there. First, if you are using 3G or 4G, it is very complicated. For example, in the building I live in, the 4G is horrible, there must be some shadow of some building, the 4G is terrible. Look, I go one block forward, the 4G is ok, so it fluctuates a lot.
Wi-Fi: if you are going to use Wi-Fi to do it via cell phone, use the network that we use, which we call Mash, a network with mash technology will make your transmission, the live in your church, more stable .
Is it ideal? No! I always say, the ideal is to pull a little cable, so that you have it connected to the equipment that will do the transmission. But if you choose to live in church, using a smartphone, no problem. It’s what you have for the moment, it’s the way you try to take the word of God forward. So that’s what you’re going to do, try to use at least this Wi-Fi mash technology. Another important point is where you’re going to broadcast, there’s one thing before that, use a tripod, buy a tripod and put it there, pull a power cord so you don’t run out of battery during your live, because you can’t stay there holding the business all the time.
Another important point is where are you going to broadcast, today you either broadcast to Instagram or you broadcast to Facebook or you broadcast YouTube, or you take 2, 3 smartphones to broadcast to each one at the same time. Look at the gambiarra, I’ve seen this type of gambiarra live.
I saw a live at the time of the pandemic that there was in the live broadcast, I think 3 smartphones, 1 live doing for YouTube that took down her broadcast by copyright, another a cell phone for Facebook, and another smartphone for the Instagram. Look at the gambiarra, extremely poorly advised technologically.
What I’m telling you, it already solved her problem, and it will solve yours. So, you’re going to use a smartphone, okay? No problem. You don’t have to do so much gambiarra.
With your smartphone you can stream to our platform and from our platform, you can login to Instagram, Facebook, Youtube in a secure environment by connecting APIs and multistreaming, simulcast to all social networks at the same time. Look how fantastic!
However, I don’t recommend you live the cult, take the word of God, live on social media, but why? It’s free and all, do you want to sell to us, make us spend money?
Sell, I won’t deny that I’m looking to sell my platform to you. But, what I’m going to tell you, there’s a very strong reason behind it. First, the platform is very cheap, very cheap, the cheapest on the market, integrated with operators, national CDN, you can pay per year at a discount. Service from 8 am to midnight by WhatsApp. Anyway, get in touch with us and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
But why shouldn’t you use social media to live in churches? Because you know the example I gave of the live now? Copyright, take down at the time of your praise, you are there broadcasting the service and then at the time of praise, even if it’s just a BG, that is playing in the background, a song that has copyright, social networks will take down your live, they drop it and that’s it, there’s nothing you can do. So, look at the user experience, the live is like this, you are broadcasting live, enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 20, if the transmission drops, everyone leaves, these people will not come back.
It’s a bad experience, so that’s one reason you shouldn’t broadcast to social media. You can sometimes go live. We are live here, in such a place, go to our website, why the website? Because the site is a controlled environment, an environment that has privacy. You will broadcast to our platform, take our play, put it on your website and from there you can even enter social networks by making calls from the staff for your live in churches on the website.
Why privacy, Josimar? Very simple, imagine you preaching the word, reading a bible verse and there, on YouTube, on Facebook, with a bunch of suggestions that have nothing to do with what you’re talking about?
Worse, it can often even preach the opposite of what you are talking about. You are talking about family, but the suggestion of content on the side is something that is anti-family that is not in favor of the family, it is not in favor of God, it is not in favor of you preaching the word. This happens all the time, so you have to broadcast in a controlled environment, so your faithful don’t get embarrassed. People who are watching your live in church, don’t be embarrassed by the content suggested next door.
This is the other way we have to broadcast live, to do live in churches, using the cell phone, but in a less amateur way and that won’t give you a headache. Let’s go to the next one!
