Church Video Streaming supports iPhone/iPod/iPad video streaming. If your church is looking to broadcast video to popular Apple products, it is certainly doable. Not all of the electronic devices are made the equal, especially when the device name is iPhone, iPad, or iPod. These devices do not support video streaming using Flash technology. Video streaming to iPhones requires special video and audio encoding by the broadcasting software. Video codec needs to be H.264 and audio codec is AAC. Video broadcasting in this format is possible via Wirecast software, Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder + MainConcept AAC encoder, and Apple’s Quicktime Broadcaster.

If you have this software, your video stream can be made compatible with iPhones and iPads.

If you have additional questions on how to broadcast church services to iPhones and iPads, please contact us.

Happy video broadcasting to iPads and iPhones!!!

You see them everywhere. Phones, phones, phones…. They even ring at your church service, regardless of multiple announcements to turn them off. When you turn your head to see which teenager forgot to turn the mobile phone off, you realize it is not a teenager, but one of your elders … Expansion of smart phones is very rapid, seems like everybody needs one, even if it cost a fortune. Your church services can be streamed live to Android phones that support Adobe Flash technology. If you have a modern Android phone with version 2.2 of the software, Adobe Flash can be installed to show video streaming of your church. Nothing special needs to be done, if Adobe Flash player is installed on the phone. No special development, no special mobile only applications or sites need to be designed. People with Android phones can simply navigate to your church web site and view live broadcast of your church services. And you can say – ” That was easy!!!”
