Choir Cam View; Altar Cam View of Pulpit
Many things led us to this place. When COVID lockdown occurred in 2020 without ever having done anything like this before, Heather had us live-streaming the very next Sunday. Back then our choir was a choir of One, Heather, singing a cappella. As our choir grew, with Kurt as our Music Minister, and then adding Ken Williamson as Assistant Music Minister, soon the room behind the pulpit became too small. So one day Kurt and Heather came in and resurrected the choir loft risers. Then we needed a way to see the choir. Our AV Tech, Heather, worked on the most economical means to use MultiCamera Switching that would allow live-stream switching between two cameras, and would be compatible with FaceBook, our current platform, as well as with our next platform (In Process)
Big thanks to Heather, Kurt, Vickie, Vanessa!
We ask your patience as we learn the new equipment and welcome your emails about Livestream Feedback (Your donations to cover the expense of the new equipment is also most welcome)!
