Simplify Your Streaming this Christmas Season
Christmas is a busy time for all of us, but especially for those in the ministry. Extra events and services tend to pop up all over the place in the season of Advent. Your viewers are busier also. While they are finishing their Christmas shopping, going to holiday parties, and putting up Christmas lights, you want to make sure that your events are available to them at a time when they can tune in. Simulated Live can help with that.
Simulated Live is a feature that allows you to take a pre-recorded event and schedule it to play on a live stream at a certain time. Let’s say your church is planning an epic Christmas Eve service. You want as many people to be able to celebrate with you as possible, but your are only holding one service so your staff can spend time with their families. You could choose to save that stream after it is over, and schedule it to play back every hour that evening until midnight, or through the next day. Maybe your church is doing a special production or children’s play; you could set up times to play back the file throughout the week.
The biggest advantage to simulated live is the ability to have staff members available at a certain time to answer questions and interact with your audience. You could have someone on hand to pray or speak with a new viewer who was drawn to your website for a special event. Using simulated live allows you to simplify and schedule your online events at your convenience, with a smaller staff.
