IT Tech Corner News - Livestreaming our Services

NUMC has been livestreaming worship services for years now. We are also able to offer livestreaming of weddings and funerals, if the family so desires. 

How does it work? 

We stream to Youtube and embed the broadcast on our website. To watch the livestream, simply go to our website or Youtube channel and you watch the service. The recording is archived on our website and Youtube channel so you can watch it at a later date. 

The broadcast is sticky or missing segments. Is it just my device? 

While it could be your device or internet connection, occasionally we do experience issues while broadcasting. Lag or intermittent connectivity can impact what gets streamed to Youtube, but we always have a local backup. If the livestreamed version has issues, watch for a backup to be posted online within a few days. The backup recording is generally free of blemishes. 

How many people watch the livestream? 

Statistics show that about 20 devices watch the services live, and another 30 or so will watch during the week. These are the device count, so the number of people watching could be much higher in some cases if families or groups watch together. 

We are happy to provide livestreaming of our worship services to members and the community. If you are watching online, please let us know! Contact the church office or fill out our webform so we know you're with us online.
