Local Broadcasts on Gospel Stream

Leaders can now create secure links for viewing ward or stake meeting broadcasts through the Gospel Stream mobile app and online at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. These links adhere to local and Church-wide privacy guidelines and allow easy management of ad-free broadcasts, accessible to all ward or stake members or specific individuals within or outside your unit.

Instructions to Publish Webinars to Gospel Stream and Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org:

1.      Log in to your Church-provided Zoom account.

2.      Create a webinar (single or recurring) for your ward or stake meetings.

3.      Log in to Meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

4.      Under Events, click “Manage” and select your unit. Webinars you create in Zoom automatically appear here.

5.      Choose to publish or remove the webinars for your congregation. The events you publish appear on both Gospel Stream and Broadcasts.ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.

·       To publish links for single webinars, select “Publish.”

·       To publish links for recurring meetings, select “Publish All Occurrences.”

·       To remove webinars from Gospel Stream and Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, select “Unpublish”

6.     Members can access published webinars by logging in to the Gospel Stream app or Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

·       To share events with individuals outside of your unit, use the automatically generated event code. Guests can view the event by entering the code at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

·       For private events that you do not wish to appear on Gospel Stream, such as funerals, keep the publish toggle off and share the event code with specific individuals. Guests can view the private event by entering the event code at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

If you would prefer to limit link availability to select individuals instead of your entire congregation, you may still distribute Zoom links directly to those who need them without publishing your links on Meet.ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.

Please consult the General Handbook (section 29.7) as you determine how best to meet the needs of your congregation.

People in the following callings can manage events:

·      Mission, Stake, and district presidencies

·      Bishoprics and branch presidencies (including executive secretary and clerk)

·      Members of Stake and Ward Councils, Mission, Stake, District, Ward, and Branch Technology Specialists
