Attention all broadcasters!We are excited to present to our broadcasters a completely flexible and integrated solution for Live AUDIO and VIDEO Webcasting at an incredibly affordable rate! And as usual, we've made it "click-of-a-button" easy (and fun!) to use.
Finally, now anyone in the world (or as close as your own locale) can listen and participate in your church's complete services in real-time, week-by-week! They no longer have to wait for weeks, days, or even hours before they can hear your church's sermons. They can hear it (or SEE it) as it happens from literally anywhere in the world!
We now offer Live Webcasting in two distinct packages: AUDIO-ONLY or VIDEO+AUDIO. Both are seamlessly integrated into the SermonAudio interface and offer easy-on and -off operation.
This tool is perfect for church members who are unable to make it out to the services because of infirmity, sickness, or perhaps travel. It is also ideal for those church friends who have moved far away but would still like to be a part of their "home" church somehow. And of course, it is yet another avenue of gospel outreach for any who will listen!
For broadcasters, we've made it easy to see how many listeners have "tuned-in" and listened to an ongoing webcast (as well as all prior webcasts). Not only do we display the number of "drop-in" listeners, but also the peak concurrent listeners at any given time. And there's no need to wait until the webcast is over to get these details... you can see this information changing on-the-fly!
Also, you'll receive an informative webcast PDF report every month that shows all webcast sessions for that month, the concurrent and total number of listeners, and what general geographic area people were listening from!
We've made it easy to turn ON and OFF the live webcast feed at any time. In addition, the site will automatically detect when a live webcast (from any broadcaster) is in progress and a red "ON AIR" button will be prominently shown at the top of each page.
You can even tune into any LIVE webcast without a PC using our exclusive SermonAudio Internet Radio or with your mobile phone on the go -- anywhere there's a cellphone signal! The ultimate (and only practical) solution for shut-ins to enjoy and participate in your church services!
You can post weblogs or events with a special webcast flag to help listeners be aware of upcoming webcasts. These are displayed separately in the new Live Webcasts section of the site. In addition, you can use the easy-to-use schedule editor to indicate when you anticipate your webcasts to be on-the-air. We use this schedule data to display an "at-a-glance" calendar of live webcasts at any time.
Using our Notification Manager you can be immediately notified via email when a live audio or video webcast is currently in progress by any of your favorite broadcasters. Never miss a webcast again!
And as usual, the top portion of the site will always show you a convenient countdown (in days, hours, and minutes) of when the next webcast will be on-the-air.

You can now select from multiple webcast
servers with a real-time 'load' status indicator. |
Multiple Servers for Live Webcasts! We also provide separate webcast servers in different locations to handle the webcast bandwidth. When you play a webcast, you will automatically be presented with the optimal server link based on the current bandwidth! Additionally, a status icon indicator shows you the current bandwidth load of the server.For more information about this service (including pricing information) and a step-by-step guide on how to webcast on SermonAudio, click here now.

Enjoy!
