Step by step

  1. Get a stream key. In Admin → Go live, open From Zoom, OBS or a video mixer, and tap Get a stream key. Keep the key private.
  2. Zoom: allow live streaming (once). At zoom.us → Settings → Meeting → In Meeting (Advanced), turn on Allow livestreaming of meetings and tick Custom Live Streaming Service.
  3. Zoom: go live. In the meeting, choose More → Live on Custom Live Streaming Service. Paste the server, the stream key and the live streaming page from your studio, then Go Live.
  4. OBS, vMix or a mixer. Choose a custom RTMP(S) destination with the same server and key, H.264 video and AAC audio, a keyframe every 2 to 8 seconds. Start streaming.
  5. You're live. The broadcast starts by itself (keep the studio open, or ask us to turn on automatic start). Listeners hear it about 20 seconds behind.
  6. Finish. Stop the stream in Zoom or OBS, then tap End in the studio. The replay follows within minutes.

Who it's for

Churches that already produce a stream (cameras, an ATEM Mini, OBS or vMix), and Zoom Pro hosts. Listeners get the low-data audio, Give, prayer requests and the replay, while your video can still go to YouTube or Facebook. On free Zoom, or Google Meet, use the computer's sound instead.

If the stream drops

If it's back within 10 minutes, it carries on in the same broadcast and recording. Broadcast hours count the same as any other AltarPage broadcast.
