Plan a broadcast, connect your encoder, and choose exactly where your video appears.
Prepare and go live
Connect your accounts in Destination Connections. Choose the intended Facebook Page separately for each scheduled event.
Save your event in Live Schedule. Times use your organization’s saved time zone. Each repeated occurrence has its own instructions.
Choose Prepare broadcast when preparation opens, then connect your encoder. Preparation keeps the broadcast private.
Review the destination names and readiness. Choose Go live and confirm when you want viewers to watch.
Choose End broadcast when finished, then stop your encoder. Wait for ending to finish before preparing another event.
Automatic preparation and start
Open Automatic preparation and start on a saved future occurrence. The default is preparation only; you still choose Go live. Automatic public start requires a published Watch Page, explicit confirmation, and a ready encoder. Connect before the saved time; automatic start can wait up to five minutes for readiness. If it cannot start in that window, review the notice and continue manually.
Changes to the event, selected account, or Facebook Page require review. A later event waits until the current event has finished cleanup. Use End preparation or End broadcast to stop work that has already begun.
If you allow a partial start, unavailable destinations stay omitted. Add a recovered destination explicitly when you want it included.
Extend a live broadcast
Use Extend broadcast while at least two minutes remain before the current end time. Keep the encoder connected and wait for the confirmed end time. The existing end remains in effect until confirmation; a pending request is not a confirmed extension.
Recordings and clips
Use Video Library to upload or organize recordings. Wait for processing to finish before publishing. Private recordings are available to your authorized studio team.
The finishing editor trims the beginning and end, processes a streaming version, and replaces the replay after processing succeeds. Your original is retained so you can restore it. Clip Creator, when included in your access, creates a separate clip; publishing a clip does not publish its full parent recording.
Adaptive video adjusts to the viewer’s connection. A longer upload can take longer to process; its progress is shown in the studio.
When something needs attention
No encoder video: check the private encoder settings and wait for a fresh preview before starting.
A destination needs attention: check its connection and the selected Page or channel. Reconnect if authorization is required.
Ending is still being confirmed: allow cleanup to finish. Contact CET if it remains unresolved; do not repeatedly create replacement events or connections.
A schedule changed: review the saved event and destinations, then confirm new instructions. Acknowledging a notice does not grant permission to stream.
For help, email info@churcheverywhere.us with your organization, event title, approximate time and the message shown. Keep passwords, stream keys and access tokens private.
Request removal of connection data
End any active broadcast and wait for cleanup before disconnecting a destination in Destination Connections. You can also revoke CET’s access through your Google or Facebook account settings.
To request removal of stored connection information, email info@churcheverywhere.us from your account address. Include your organization and the Page or channel name. CET can then verify the request and review the stored connection information. Specify separately if you also want to discuss recordings, account access, or subscription changes.
