Why Use Switcher Studio to Livestream
Church Services?
Switcher Studio makes it easy to create a livestreamed church service with higher production value, more impact, and further reach. See why Switcher is the most well-rounded end-to-end video solution for houses of worship.Elevate your livestreams – not your budget
With Switcher, you can capture your worship service from up to 9 angles using just iPhones and iPads. Edit your stream in real time: add text, switch angles, or roll in videos like openers or sermon teasers. You can even include scripture or lyric slides in a picture-in-picture layout.
Best of all, Switcher is easy enough to be run by your A/V or worship team or a volunteer. And since it works entirely with iOS devices, that means there’s no need to hire outside videographers or purchase expensive equipment. (Can we get a hallelujah?)
Reach your members where they are
Video production is just one part of the puzzle: You also need to make sure your livestreamed church service can actually be seen by your members (or potential members). Luckily, our seamless platform integrations let you connect instantly to Facebook, YouTube, and almost anywhere else. You can even use the embeddable Switcher Player to stream directly to your own website. Plus, our built-in Multistreaming feature means you can reach your audiences on any of these destinations — at the same time, with the same stream.

Create a content channel with Switcher Player
You know that Switcher Player allows you to stream directly to your own website, but it can do so much more. The Switcher Player is a white-label HTML5 video player that can be embedded on almost any webpage. In addition to your livestream, you can add information about the service, interactive links, and even connect online giving platforms so viewers can tithe without ever leaving the video experience.
You can create as many Switcher Players as you want, upload prerecorded videos to your Switcher Player, and create playlists of content. If you have premium or private content, you can even put videos behind a paywall.
If you don’t have a website, you can still stream directly to a private link with Switcher Player, allowing you to avoid the ads and content recommendations that come with streaming to public video hosting platforms.
