Church from home

[2bizE]

Do you think the church is working on a mechanism to support church from home with ward video conferencing? There are a number of softwares available, but bringing it all together in a ward method would be interesting.
For the sacrament, everyone would place a slice of bread in a plate at home, and cups of water and a priest would bless it over Skype. Interesting thought....remember God created the Internet for genealogy and church broadcasts....
Thoughts?

From my technology calling a few years ago:

The stakes have this tech available for shut-ins during stake conference on a limited basis. The church has a series of streaming servers you schedule your conference broadcast on at a given time. There is likely not enough capacity on the system to support all the congregations using the church infrastructure every Sunday for every member. Something much more robust would need to be utilized, perhaps an existing commercial streaming solution at great cost which the misers in the corp would probably scoff at.

I will say that John Hamer's Toronto CoC branch has had great success with their broadcasts on facebook live but the viewership is much smaller in scale.

Once upon a time there was a ward somewhere that would broadcast SM on BYU-TV. I thiked they skipped the sacrament, but showed talks, hymns and prayers. I remember thinking it was weird that they would give an intro to each talk where they would read a bio of the speaker like you would hear at a professional conference.

Don't they do a live feed of BYU-TV on youtube? They could stream a church service there easily enough.

Streaming could for sure happen someday, but the church is super slow in upgrading tech capability and always wants to do it their own way.

My stake announced that the wards will be broadcasting a monthly worship service via internet. No details yet.

We may be relatively small in scale, but we do have very interesting content — which I haven't always found to be true in a Stake Conference. We're now approaching about 1,000 participants live online each Sunday.

If you want to join us, all are welcome. Our services are 12:00 pm ET / 11:00 am CT / 10:00 am MT / 9:00 am PT.

You can join on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/CentrePlaceTV
or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TorontoCongregation/
or on our website: https://www.centreplace.ca/

We celebrate the sacrament of communion together on the first Sunday of each month. All are welcome, regardless of denominational affiliation.

You can get a sense of what it's like from the recording of yesterday's service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeA7uVBZ2s0

Good to hear from you John! I have indeed indulged in your broadcasts and presentations from time to time and have always found them to be of value and interest.
