Broadcast live

Radio & Live streams your services and shows live, in video as well as audio - the feature is already up and running. Members who can't attend, the diaspora, or those discovering your church from afar follow from a simple link, on computer and phone alike.

Start a live

1. Open Radio & Live, Go live tab.
2. Choose your source: Mic for radio, Camera to broadcast from the browser, OBS / Pro studio for your broadcasting equipment.
3. Give the live a title (for example "Sunday service"), then start.

In Camera mode, a preview shows your picture before you go on air: the button only becomes active once the camera really responds. In OBS mode, no camera is asked of you: the stream key appears, and the live starts as soon as your signal arrives.

Your stream key, prepared in advance

The stream key does not change: you paste it into OBS (or into a broadcast box) once and never come back to it. It waits for you in Settings, the OBS / encoder feed block, so your equipment can be plugged in and tested the day before, in your own time.

One source on air at a time

For consistently clean sound, only one source broadcasts at a time - never two at once (which would cause interference for your listeners). The Suite handles it for you:

• If the automatic schedule is running and you take the microphone live, the schedule pauses and resumes on its own when you stop the mic.
• Conversely, while the schedule or an OBS feed is on air, the microphone stays locked with a clear message: stop the current source first.

Broadcast with OBS and watch the return

For a polished production (several cameras, overlays), you can broadcast from OBS to your radio. As soon as OBS connects:

1. It becomes the source on air - the browser camera and microphone switch off automatically (no double image or double sound).
2. An OBS monitor appears in the Suite: you see, in real time and with no delay, what OBS is sending. No more broadcasting blind.

A second return, below, shows what actually goes out publicly (with a few seconds' delay, as with any live stream).

If the connection drops

A network outage does not end your live.

1. On the studio side: a "Connection lost" screen appears, and recovery happens on its own, several times over, with attempts spaced further and further apart. You can force the recovery or stop cleanly. As long as you don't stop, the live stays open.
2. On the member side: the player retries for about a minute and a half, realigns with the live and carries on without anyone reloading the page. The "Broadcast ended" message only appears once the end is confirmed, and it corrects itself if the stream comes back.
3. If you reload the page by accident, you find the studio again with your title and your source, right where you were.

Your broadcast status, in plain view

Three indicators stay visible throughout the live:

1. Connected: your studio is talking to our servers.
2. Source on air: a picture or a sound is really going out (camera, screen share or OBS).
3. Public relay: the stream your members receive is online. If it is slow to start, the indicator tells you instead of leaving you guessing.

After the live

The recording lands on its own in the Replays tab, ready to be renamed, shared, downloaded or taken down. See Your replays.

The connection halo

A three-arc halo - the Sanctumel seal's halo - continuously shows your connection quality: gold (excellent), amber (fair), red (weak), the dot alone (offline). Hover it: it suggests the right move - get closer to the router, switch to 4G, or turn off video to keep the audio. In both studios (mic and video), it lives under the "On air" title and first among the health lights.
