Step by step

  1. Sign in on the laptop. Open yoursite.altarpage.com/admin/cast in Chrome or Edge, or install AltarPage Studio from altarpage.com/desktop.
  2. Choose your sound. Under Sound settings, choose your USB interface under Sound from, untick Clean up speech, and pick a quality (Worship music for the choir).
  3. Test, then go live. Tap Test sound with headphones, check the meter stays out of the red, then tap Go live.
  4. Watch responses. Prayer requests, new believers and gifts arrive in the studio while you're on air; listeners' comments too.
  5. Keep it running. Plug the laptop in. AltarPage Studio keeps the computer awake and keeps broadcasting when the window is hidden.
  6. End. Tap End (or End broadcast from Studio's tray icon). The replay follows within minutes.

AltarPage Studio

The desktop app for Mac and Windows does everything the browser studio does, plus: it keeps broadcasting when the window is minimised, lives in the menu bar or tray with an End button, keeps the computer awake, and brings in a Zoom or Meet call's sound. Get it at altarpage.com/desktop.
