Simplest option: a smartphone on a tripod This video should also be useful for other individuals interested in making higher quality live streams on their own.

Since many smaller churches are gearing up to live stream Easter or other major liturgies this week, I thought I'd make a quick video showing how I do my livestream, and giving some tips for people in a similarly budget-and-personnel-limited situation! We also had remote control 'PTZ' cameras, and dedicated streaming hardware like a Tricaster.įor my own livestreams, I had a very limited budget, and only one person (me) to operate the camera, produce the live stream, and be the content on the live stream! (I even wrote a blog post on the topic a few weeks ago.)įor larger events, there was usually a team of camera operators. In the past, I've helped run live streams for various events, from liturgies in a cathedral to youth events in a stadium.

A few weeks before this year's pandemic started affecting the US, I started live-streaming on my YouTube channel.
