Seeing we have so many knowledgeable members here, I'm curious if any of you have first (or even second) hand experience with setting up streaming A/V for church services?

For some time I've been involved with helping with services at church by ensuring the slides are projected correctly to the monitors at the front, along with running the sound board.

Foolishly I've now got involved with the board and am now responsible for it. With the ongoing virus scares and the fact we attract followers from 'round the world, I need to come up with a solution for making the service available in real time to people.

Today we had decided to cancel the in building service and just used Zoom; the minister had a laptop in front of her and was controlling things; her husband had a device (maybe phone or laptop) by the piano and played it. We had about 30 people call in, some via phone, other by tablets / smart phone / computers including folks from Scotland, Florida, California, Saskatchewan, and of course from here in Toronto.

While it worked I'm not sure of the viability of that approach when we have a physical gathering and want to attract virtual attendees.

Any of you out there have any suggestions?
