Live Service Streaming Integration in Komuniti
Komuniti by MRVL integrates natively with Streamr, allowing UK churches to broadcast live services directly to their congregation through the Komuniti app, keeping all ministry communication in one private, pastoral-led space.
What Streamr Integration Does
Komuniti's native Streamr integration lets you embed live service broadcasts into your church community without switching between apps. When your service goes live on Streamr, members see it available within Komuniti itself. This keeps your congregation centred in one place where they also access prayer walls, announcements, sermon notes, and event RSVPs. The integration respects Komuniti's core principle: closed, invitation-only communities where pastors control what appears and when, not an open social feed. As of June 2026, this tight coupling between Komuniti and Streamr is unique to the MRVL church stack in the UK market.
How It Fits Into Your Church Workflow
Before a service, your pastor or media lead schedules the stream in Streamr. Members of your Komuniti church group receive a notification through the app about the upcoming broadcast. At service time, they tap into Komuniti, find the live stream in context with prayer requests and announcements, and watch together. After the service, sermon notes and follow-up content live in the same space. This keeps your digital church experience unified, rather than fragmented across WhatsApp, YouTube, Zoom, and email. Komuniti's pastoral controls ensure only authorised team members can post; members get a dignified, branded experience.
Why Churches Choose This Over Separate Tools
Many churches use WhatsApp for announcements, a separate video platform for streaming, and email for follow-up. Komuniti with Streamr integration eliminates that friction. You also get native integration with Ekklesia for member management and Givr for Gift Aid giving, so your entire church stack sits in one ecosystem built from the ground up for UK ministry. There are no ads, no US-centric assumptions, and no data being sold. Everything is private by default; only invited members see your content. This is especially valuable for multi-campus churches or denominations using the Enterprise plan, which supports unlimited groups and full customisation.
Getting Started with Live Streaming in Komuniti
You need a Streamr account (or use an existing one if you already broadcast services). Connect it to your Komuniti workspace through the integrations menu in pastoral settings. Once linked, any live stream you start in Streamr appears in Komuniti automatically. Your congregation gets a one-tap way to join; they don't need separate apps or accounts. If members miss the live broadcast, recorded sermons stay available in Komuniti for later viewing, and you can pair them with sermon notes written by your teaching team. The free tier of Komuniti supports up to 3 groups and 20 members, ideal for home groups; churches over 20 members typically move to the Starter plan (£19.99 per month or £179.99 per year) or Pro (£39.99 per month or £349.99 per year).
Security and Privacy in Streaming
Because Komuniti is closed and invite-only, your live streams are not searchable on the open internet or accessible to anyone outside your community. This is crucial for pastoral sensitivity and member dignity. Only people you've invited into your Komuniti group can access the broadcast. Combined with Komuniti's pastoral admin controls (which determine who can post announcements and when), you maintain full authority over your congregation's digital experience. Streamr handles the streaming infrastructure; Komuniti handles the community context and access control.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate Streamr account to use streaming in Komuniti?
Yes. Streamr handles the actual live broadcast; Komuniti displays it to your congregation. The integration connects the two, so members see the live stream appear in Komuniti without leaving the app.
Can members watch a recorded sermon after the live stream ends?
Yes. Recorded streams remain available in Komuniti so members can watch on their own schedule. You can also add sermon notes alongside the recording for deeper engagement.
Is the streaming free, or does it cost extra?
Streamr pricing is separate. Komuniti's pricing (from free to Enterprise) covers the community platform; you manage your Streamr account independently. The integration itself is included at no extra cost within Komuniti.
Can I stream to multiple campuses at once using Komuniti?
If you have multiple campuses, the Enterprise plan (£79.99 per month or £699.99 per year) supports unlimited groups across locations. All can access the same live broadcast or separate ones, depending on your workflow.
What happens if someone outside my church tries to access the stream link?
They can't. Komuniti streams are only visible to invited members of your private community. Your broadcasts are not searchable or accessible publicly.
Can I use Komuniti for streaming if I also use Ekklesia and Givr?
Absolutely. Komuniti integrates natively with both Ekklesia (member management) and Givr (Gift Aid giving), creating a unified MRVL church stack. All three work together smoothly.
