Connect your Live Video Stream


Regardless of what system you use to Live Stream your service, you can integrate it with your EzyChurch App. Once complete, a button will appear in your app saying ‘Watch Live’ and your user will be directed to your stream.

You can integrate YouTube Live, Zoom and more.

Here’s How:

  1. Find out what method you currently use to stream your service:

  1. In the EzyStream Dashboard, head over to Subscriptions, located under your Account Menu (Click your name in the top right of your screen),

  2. Look under Active Services and find ‘YouTube Live Stream’.

    1. If it’s not there, add the item 'YouTube Live Stream' under Available Services.

  3. Click Config,

  4. Enter 'YouTube Live Stream' into the service name,

  5. Enter the Video ID of your YouTube video stream:

    1. Copy and Paste the URL of your Live Stream into the 'YouTube Video ID' field.

    2. Remove full URL of the video, leaving only the actual Video ID remaining. For example, ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymJN_tpeBI' becomes 'ymJN_tpeBI’. 

    3. Note: Anything after the Video ID should also be removed. This from an '&' symbol and onwards.
