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 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 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

Simple to set up. Invisible when it works.

No new hardware, no complicated workflow changes. Install the agent, stream like normal, and Beam handles the rest.

Internet drops for 45 seconds?  Beam holds your broadcast in the cloud. The moment you reconnect, everything catches up automatically. Your viewers see nothing but a seamless stream.

01

Install the Beam agent

Install Beam on the same computer running OBS. No special hardware, rack gear, or workflow rebuild required.

02

Beam protects the stream in the cloud

Beam uploads continuously and keeps a recoverable buffer in the cloud so short outages do not break the viewer experience.

03

Destinations receive a complete broadcast

When the internet returns, Beam backfills what was missing and keeps YouTube, Facebook, and your site fed with a complete stream.

Pricing

Resilient streaming priced for real ministries and small teams.

Beam is built to undercut enterprise streaming tools while keeping the reliability churches and nonprofits actually need.

Transparent pricing

We are not trying to maximize your software bill. We are trying to keep Beam Networks Stream sustainable.

The goal is not to charge churches and nonprofits for the sake of charging them. But storage, bandwidth, ingest, and delivery are real infrastructure costs, and resilient streaming uses more of that infrastructure to protect your broadcast. Our pricing is designed to stay fair, cover what it costs to run the product, and leave room for us to keep improving it.

FAQ

Answers for churches, nonprofits, and broadcast teams.

The short version: Beam Networks Stream protects your stream during internet trouble without asking you to rebuild your production stack.

What if my internet goes down during a live stream?

Beam Networks Stream keeps a protected copy of your broadcast, holds the cloud output steady, and automatically backfills the missing video when your connection returns. Short outages stay invisible to viewers, and longer outages still have a recovery path.

Do I need special hardware or a new encoder?

No. Beam Networks Stream is designed to work with the computer you already use for OBS. Install the Beam agent, point it at your existing workflow, and keep streaming with the same cameras, switcher, and destinations.

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

A normal RTMP stream fails in real time when your upload connection drops. Beam Networks Stream adds a resilient cloud buffer and automatic backfill, so your destination keeps receiving a complete broadcast instead of a broken one.

Is Beam Networks Stream a Resi alternative?

Yes. Beam Networks Stream is built for teams that want Resi-style resilience without enterprise pricing or proprietary hardware. It is especially well suited for churches, nonprofits, and small broadcast teams using OBS.
