Scheduling Services
Each service needs a YouTube stream. Essentially, you can create a YouTube stream from a past stream.
This 8 minute video shows how to schedule a new YouTube stream except that now we are using YouTube as the platform for the online congregation, you should make the stream public and enable "chat" and "chat replay" and there is now no longer a need for a "catch up" playlist, so new YouTube streams do not need to belong to a playlist.
You may need to schedule a stream in an emergency if you encounter a situation where the stream you want to "go live" has already been used. The "go live" icon is greyed out and you need to schedule a new stream. It's relatively easy to do this from the streaming PC if you hit this problem.
We've also started adding a custom thumbnail to each stream. There's one for "all in" services and then five 11am and five 7pm thumbnails - one for each week of the month. Download and unzip this zipfile for the thumbnails.
Weddings and Funerals
For weddings and funerals, create an unlisted YouTube stream with an appropriate thumbnail. Enable "chat", but disable "chat replay" to be on the safe side.
Once you've created the stream, look for it in the list of live content in the Christ Church YouTube channel. Click the three dots next to the stream and select "Get sharable link" to get a link which can then be distributed to the family, friends, and others.
