Church live streaming

A resilient live streaming workflow for churches and ministries.

Sunday streams fail for ordinary reasons: weak ISP service, weather, overloaded neighborhood networks, or one volunteer accidentally bumping the wrong thing. Beam Networks Stream is built so your church live stream can recover automatically instead of leaving your congregation staring at a broken player.

Works with OBS

Keep the same cameras, switcher, volunteer workflow, and destinations your team already knows.

No special hardware

Beam Networks Stream adds resilience in software, so you do not have to buy proprietary encoders just to get a reliable stream.

Built for Sunday mornings

The Sunday plan is priced for churches and nonprofits that stream weekly and need room to recover from outages without enterprise cost.

Why churches need more than a normal RTMP stream

A typical YouTube or Facebook stream sends video live with no safety net. If the upload connection drops, the stream drops with it. Beam Networks Stream adds a local copy, continuous upload, a cloud buffer, and automatic backfill so short outages stay invisible and longer outages still have a path back.

Why Beam Networks Stream fits church teams

Built for real Sunday-morning constraints.

Most churches are not building a broadcast engineering department. They need reliability, simple workflows, and pricing that makes sense for weekly ministry use.

What churches usually want

  • Keep using OBS and the setup volunteers already know
  • Recover from internet trouble without panic or dead air
  • Avoid expensive hardware and bloated annual contracts
  • Pay in a way that maps to real weekly streaming usage

What Beam Networks Stream is designed to do

  • Add resilience in software on the machine you already use
  • Backfill missing video automatically after an outage
  • Offer a church-focused Sunday tier instead of forcing enterprise pricing
  • Stay transparent that bandwidth and delivery cost money, but keep pricing fair

How it works

Set it up once. Forget it's there.

Install the agent, stream the way you already do, and let us handle the hiccups in the background.

resilient output

Destinations

YouTube, Facebook, your site

Internet drops for 45 seconds?  We hold onto your broadcast in the cloud. When you reconnect, it catches right back up. Nobody watching has to sit through dead air.

01

Install the agent

Download Beam Networks Stream onto the same machine running OBS. No rack gear, no workflow changes.

02

We buffer the stream in the cloud

The agent uploads continuously and keeps a recoverable buffer on our side, so the occasional blip doesn't break the broadcast.

03

Viewers get the whole stream

When your internet comes back, we backfill what got dropped and keep YouTube, Facebook, and your site fed from the same buffer.

Pricing

Priced for churches and small teams, not enterprise procurement.

Every tier covers the actual cost of running your stream resiliently, and not much more.

Why it costs what it costs

We're trying to keep the lights on, not pad a margin.

Storage, bandwidth, and delivery aren't free, and buffering the stream in the cloud uses more of all three than a regular RTMP feed. So the price needs to cover that honestly. If you're running a small congregation or a one-person nonprofit, talk to us — we'd rather figure something out than lose you over $30.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

If we didn't answer yours here, email us — we read everything that comes in.

What if my internet goes down during a live stream?

We keep a protected copy of your broadcast in the cloud and keep feeding it to your destinations while the agent reconnects. When it comes back, we backfill whatever got missed. Short blips, viewers never see. Longer drops still have a shot at recovering cleanly.

Do I need special hardware or a new encoder?

No. If you already stream with OBS, you're set. Install our agent on the same machine, point it at OBS, and keep using the cameras, switcher, and destinations you already have.

How is this different from a regular YouTube or Facebook stream?

A plain RTMP stream breaks the moment your upload connection hiccups — viewers see a frozen frame or get booted. We buffer your stream in the cloud and backfill the gaps, so the destination keeps getting a continuous feed instead of a broken one.

Is Beam Networks Stream a Resi alternative?

Yep. Same core idea — resilient cloud buffering that survives internet drops — without the enterprise contract or proprietary hardware. We're aimed at churches, nonprofits, and small broadcast teams running OBS.
