Getting Started
**All streaming events now must be scheduled on the new Churchstreaming.tv platform**
-
Events need to be scheduled at least 15 minutes in advance of the event start time to ensure the system makes all the necessary integrations
-
You cannot connect your encoder to the streaming platform while your channel is offline.
This indicator can be found in the upper right corner of your main dashboard page. Your streaming channel will switch automatically from offline to online 5-7 minutes before your published event start time.
-
When you are done with scheduling the event, on the last step please make sure that the streaming event is set to publish and not draft.

- Click on streaming > Events
- Add New Streaming (same as adding a new event)

- Choose if you want a post-roll video to play
- Scroll Down > Save
- If you want the stream to be saved to the Sermon Archive, check the box. Then choose if you want to publish to your archives right away or you can leave it in draft mode so you can add more information about your stream (bible passages, speaker notes, etc) later
