Hybrid Live/Zoom Church Services on a Budget

- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- This video describes how to set up a system for a hybrid worship service in which people on Zoom can remotely take part in the in-sanctuary service. This is particularly targeted at small churches that need to build a system at minimal expense and need it to be able to be managed by a single person.
[ Note: A revised, simpler version of this system can be seen at • Hybrid Live/Zoom Churc... ]
The video has three parts:
- a high level description of how to build a system
- a demonstration of a system we built
- a discussion of equipment, remote control, and other issues
The system described uses multiple fixed, inexpensive cameras, as opposed to a single more expensive camera with an operator.
Great video. Why don't you use the Prisual PTZ camera to broadcast the church service
What make/model is your mixer?
If you look at the revised version of this video, you can see the mixer -- ruclips.net/video/e3SOU56Meqk/видео.html at the 4:26 mark. It's an old Bogen C-35. I think the church has been using it for years.
Hi Rick - Thanks for this! Wondering if the "Zoom Room" feature could simplify integrating multiple cameras.
Though I'm seeing its $500/year ...
Hi Lisa. Yes! If you look in the description above, there is a revised version of this video based on Zoom Rooms. And you don't have to pay anything if you use it in the way described in the video. We've been using Zoom Rooms for hybrid church services for the past 2 years, and I'm pretty happy with it.
A note of caution. While TeamViewer is a great remote desktop program, the free version is for personal use only. Churches are considered by TeamViewer to be non-personal or commercial use (it is in the EULA). You may be blacklisted in the future, as I have been, and no persuasions that churches are not businesses have been effective. The cost of a TeamViewer license is too rich for our church. Chrome Remote Desktop works well (and is free), although not as good as TeamViewer.
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure on that, but convinced myself it was OK as when I run it it says for Non-Commercial use, and we are certainly not commercial. I have tried Chrome Remote Desktop, and as you say, it works but is not as good. Also, Teamviewer is the only approach I found that works well on Android phones, and I use one for a webcam in a corner of the church. Any suggestion for a TV alternative for phones?
When TeamViewer started limiting my sessions to an extremely short time, I switched to AnyDesk.
