8 Tips you should follow to have a successful live in your church

We are living in a time where meetings with people are limited, but God has given us strategies to come together as one and feel at home.


When it comes to transmitting one of our services or conferences we try to reach our family of faith in the best way, making them feel comfortable. For this reason, I am sure that it is time to strengthen the communications area in our church, because the best time is yet to come, understanding that as a community we are in a process of transition and that we are part of innovation.


If you are one of those leaders who wonder why my service doesn't go viral, or why my congregation doesn´t connect, I will give you some tips so that you have the desired scope for your next meeting.


Tips to viralize your online service:


1. Have a good internet connection: Generate stability in your connection while transmitting the service / conference so as not to cause distractions and dropouts. If your signal constantly drops, the viewer will most likely get bored and change channels.


2. Organize the space where you are going to broadcast very well:  The space is extremely important, you need to be in a quiet place without outside noise, a good background and good lighting, these three are a complement to have a quality live.


3. Choose a good camera: It is not necessary to have a professional camera to transmit, but if you have access to it it is great, also a good cell phone that has good quality in its camera can help you. Also, to stabilize your video tool and avoid accidents it is good that you have a good tripod.


4. Transmit the streaming from your website: It helps to bring all the traffic of people who are part of your community to your website and you can centralize the information you provide.


5. Choose the best tools to transmit streaming: If something characterizes us children of God, it is that when we do things, we do them with excellence and quality.


I will share with you the best platforms to make an extraordinary streaming and of another level:


Zoho

.

OBS Studio:  is one of the most popular streaming programs. Its ease of use, being free and open source make it one of the favorite applications for streamers.

Hubspot

.

Streamyard: it is a free program and you have the opportunity for the live to be viewed on many social networks at the same time (YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitch).


Monday

.

Wirecast: It is a paid program and can be broadcast live from Mac and Windows. It integrates with the main social networks. It is the best-selling streaming software in the world. Includes titles, chroma effect and audio mixer.

Zendesk Sell

Livestream: it is a paid program and is focused on the business world and seeks for brands to create live experiences for their audience. Allow viewers to comment live and make donations.


6. Promote your broadcast on social networks: Create a calendar publication strategy for your followers and friends to know in advance and can be scheduled. Set aside a budget for boost publications and reach more people with your communication.


7. Think about participation and interaction: It is worth considering that the leader should encourage the audience to ask questions or comments that can be answered after the sermon. Make those behind the screen feel important and close, with a greeting, with prayer requests, etc.


Some of the churches may also choose to more strategically use live streaming in a dialogue or hybrid format.


8. Take into account the copyrights: For your teaching to be viral after transmission, you must take into account the copyrights of the songs, many times YouTube and Facebook block the right to transmit for this reason.


After these tips I want you to have a growth in your community, that you learn and know various tools that will be useful in this time of change. We want a church renewed in Spirit, mind and format!
