Advice
Enhancing Your Streaming Experience
To ensure the highest quality of live streaming for the funeral or memorial service, we kindly ask all attendees to turn off their mobile phones or set them to airplane mode during the ceremony. This small but crucial action helps prevent disruptions to the streaming signal, allowing for clearer and more stable video quality.
Experience has shown that mobile devices, when active, can significantly affect the stream’s bit rate and overall clarity. For those unable to attend in person, a seamless high-definition stream is vital for feeling connected to the service.
Please assist us in delivering a high-quality broadcast by adhering to this guideline. Your cooperation not only improves the streaming experience for online viewers but also maintains the respectful atmosphere of the service.
We appreciate your understanding and support in making each service accessible and reverent for all who join, near and far.
Camera Positioning for Funeral Livestreaming
Mark positions the camera at the back of the room as standard. This ensures a respectful and unobtrusive presence, allowing the service to proceed naturally without distraction. However, if you would prefer him to be at the front to focus on those in attendance, this must be requested in advance.
For the 1-camera livestream package, Mark also places a small, unmanned wide-angle action camera facing the congregation. While this angle is not included in the live broadcast, it is added to the final recording, which can be downloaded later.
For the 2-camera livestream package, the second camera is remotely operated, allowing Mark to switch between angles when needed. This setup provides a more dynamic and inclusive view of the service.
If you have specific requests regarding camera positioning, please discuss them with Mark in advance.
Checking for International Firewall Restrictions
When planning to stream services to countries known for stringent internet regulations and firewalls, such as Russia, China, or Dubai, it is vital to ensure that these locations do not block or restrict the streaming connection. We provide a 5-minute test stream from our office, which can be arranged at a time that suits you, to test for any potential firewall issues.
This pre-event test is crucial for identifying and overcoming any barriers imposed by national firewalls, ensuring uninterrupted service and access. By confirming in advance that the stream can penetrate any firewall restrictions, we guarantee a seamless viewing experience for all international attendees.
