Church Online Streaming Without OBS
Streamr is a dedicated church streaming platform that broadcasts your service live to YouTube, Facebook and your website without requiring OBS or technical setup. No encoding software needed - just connect your camera, add your branding, and go live in minutes.
Why Stream Your Church Service
Live streaming removes geographical barriers and lets members who are unwell, travelling or caring for dependants participate in worship from home. It also extends your church's reach to visitors exploring your community and creates an archive of past sermons for future reference. Many churches find that streaming increases overall engagement and opens doors to new members who first encounter your church online before attending in person.
How Streamr Simplifies Church Streaming
Streamr handles all the technical complexity so your team doesn't need to learn OBS or broadcast software. Connect your camera or phone, customise your stream with your church logo and service order, and publish to multiple platforms simultaneously. The dashboard shows your live viewer count and lets you manage chat or comments in real time. You can schedule streams in advance, and every broadcast is automatically saved so you can share clips or full recordings later.
Multi-Platform Broadcasting
Push your service to YouTube, Facebook and your church website all at once without manually uploading to each platform. This maximises your audience reach and saves your team hours of setup time each week. Viewers can tune in from whichever platform they prefer, whether they follow your church on social media or visit your site directly. Archive links are generated automatically so you can share them in emails or on your digital signage.
Engagement During the Service
Streamr lets you interact with your online congregation in real time. Display live polls, prayers or questions from viewers during worship, and moderate comments to keep the experience welcoming. Use on-screen graphics to highlight announcements, song lyrics or speaker names without additional software. If you use Streamr alongside tools like Feedr for live audience Q&A, you can deepen engagement and make online attendees feel part of the service rather than passive viewers.
Archive and Repurpose Sermons
Every stream is recorded automatically and hosted on Streamr. Share full services via email or embed them on your website. If you want to create highlight clips of key teaching moments, Streamr's recording is ready to edit or share on social media. Many churches use Clipr to auto-generate short sermon clips from full streams, turning one service into multiple pieces of shareable content that extend the reach of your message throughout the week.
Getting Started With Streamr
Streamr is built for churches without technical teams. Sign up, connect your streaming device, add your branding, and you're ready to broadcast. Support is available if you have questions, and the interface is intuitive enough that different volunteers can operate the stream each week. Whether you're streaming your first service or adding a second camera angle, Streamr scales with your church's needs without hidden complexity.
