Embedding Your Live Stream
With the Church Online Platform, you can take your live stream and embed it into the platform.
To stream your service live, you will need to have a streaming provider that you will send your video through and the streaming provider will provide an embed code. The platform is compatible with iframe embed codes. You may reach out to your streaming provider to see if they provide iframe embed codes and if so that will work with us, then you can copy/paste into the service's video section on the platform.
Embed Your Live Stream:
- Log into the Admin.
- Go to "Services" and either create a new service or edit the content.
- Scroll down to the video section of the service.
- Select "Embed Code" from the options.
- Copy and paste the embed code from your streaming provider into the section.
- If you want your video to start before the service, enter how many minutes before the service you want the video to start.
- Click "Save".
For Vimeo: Some embedded videos need to be in a different format. Instead of https://vimeo.com/123456789/0qa0100a0b (example URL), it needs to be https://vimeo.com/123456789?h=0qa0100a0b.
