In the past week, we have noticed significant increased usage in our Live Webcast service. We are thrilled to see that our number of viewers is growing with each service. In fact, we have hit a record number of unique viewers for the month of January! If you haven’t had a chance to check out any of our services on the Live Webcast, we invite you to do so. You can find the Live Webcast by clicking on the Video Camera clip-art image, located on the right side of the navigation bar.
During our service this past Sunday, many of you may have noticed that the webcast feed was temporarily disconnected for several minutes. The current hardware configuration that we have been using for our Live Webcast was being pushed to the limit and this resulted in some issues that caused our Live Webcast to go offline for several minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience to our viewers that this may have caused.
Since Sunday, we have made some changes to our Live Webcast format which has helped resolve a lot of the limitations that we were experiencing with our previous hardware configuration. Last night’s revival service was the first test run that we have made on these new changes. If you were tuned into our Live Webcast during this service, you probably noticed a few things were different. Keep in mind that we are in a ‘testing phase’ right now, as we continue to tweak and adjust the new setup and we may experience some very minor issues as we iron out any remaining kinks in the system.
Our upgrades have helped us improve our webcast by:
- Offering a much SMOOTHER video broadcast experience
- The ability to use more than one video camera
- The ability to use additional video sources (not just cameras)
- Improved audio quality
- The ability to use new graphics & overlays
- Easier methods to record our services for offline & archival purposes
- Future ability to possibly offer our services on DVD format (not just audio CDs)
We are very excited in the direction that our Media Department is taking and we appreciate the support from everyone that uses our webcast to view our services. We ask that you would help spread the word around and let everyone know that our services are available to view right here on our website.
You may be sick and unable to physically come to church, out of town visiting family / on vacation, or just want to check out Snellville Church of God for the first time, no matter the reason: Our Live Webcast is available to help you get ‘here’ when you can’t be.
