__NOTOC__

Zoom is a cloud-based video communication tool that allows users to set up virtual video/audio conferencing, webinars, live chats, screen sharing, and other collaborative capabilities. Zoom offers a free basic account that supports unlimited one-on-one meetings and large group meetings (3–100 participants) up to 40 minutes in length. If the basic account is not sufficient for local units, the Church has made available one enterprise license per unit.

Church Zoom License

2025-03-27T20:46:50Z

Mmatute: /* Activating the Account */

> [[Meetinghouse Technology]] > [[Virtual Meetings]]

In December 2020, the Church announced the availability of one Zoom license for each stake, ward, branch, mission, and district. These licenses can be acquired from the Church by stake, district, and mission technology specialists through [https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org/ meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org]. To access this website, the technology specialist’s calling must be recorded in Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR).

Local units are encouraged to use the Church-provided Zoom licenses if needed. The Zoom license provided by the Church represents significant cost savings to the Church and includes additional functionality such as the following:

* '''[https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206122046-Can-I-Host-Concurrent-Meetings- Concurrent meetings]'''
* '''[https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005474943-Meeting-and-webinar-comparison#:~:text=Meetings%20are%20designed%20to%20be,Webinars%20allow%20view%2Donly%20attendees. Zoom webinar]'''
* '''Up to 500 connections (meetings and webinars)'''
* '''Unlimited meeting length'''
* '''Account sharing'''—The Church’s agreement with Zoom allows the user’s credentials to be shared within the unit, provided that the account is used only for Church purposes.

== Best Practices ==
For example, the local unit’s Zoom account would enable the following:

* Multiple Sunday School classes to be held simultaneously
* Relief Society and elders quorum meetings to be held simultaneously
* Bishopric meetings and presidency meetings to be held simultaneously
* A running stream used by multiple wards throughout the day for sacrament meetings
* One ward can hold a sacrament meeting while other wards using the same building a can hold bishopric meetings or other leadership meetings.

== Activating the Account ==
Go to [https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org/ meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org]. Here you will be able to request or manage Zoom accounts by selecting "Manage" under the "Local Units" option.

[[File:MeetPortal1.jpg|alt=|419x419px]]

Once in the Zoom portal, set up each local unit account by selecting the stake, district, ward, branch, or mission for which the new license will apply. Provide an email account of the person who will be managing the local unit license. That email address could be an individual or a unit email address (e.g. [[http://Branch@gmail.com]]).

[[File:Selecting Unit.png]]

Zoom will email instructions on how to complete the account setup and activation after properly requesting the account in the [https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org/ meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org] portal.

Zoom Rooms and Translated Closed Caption Subscription

2025-01-24T22:17:44Z

Mmatute:

'''Zoom Rooms:''' Our Meetinghouse-Technology team is actively exploring ways to enhance the Zoom experience in local units, however, the Zoom Room option is not currently available for the Church provided Local Unit Zoom licenses and is not something planned at the moment due to it's low demand. We will continue to assess demand and use cases in hopes of reconsidering it’s inclusion at a later date.

'''Translated Closed Captioning:''' Although our local unit Zoom accounts include closed captioning, the ability to translate these captions is not currently available. Due to the limited number of requests and the current quality of machine translation, we have decided not to enable this feature at this time.

We are assessing the demand for translated captions and exploring ways to enhance the quality of machine translation. If your unit requires this feature, please email us at mht@churchofjesuschrist.org with details about your specific use case. This feature will be reconsidered for inclusion in local unit Zoom accounts by mid-2025.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and the service you provide.

Meet Portal FAQ

2025-01-15T16:53:05Z

Mmatute: /* Who can access the “Local Unit” section and manage Zoom licenses? */

== New Tools and Guidelines for Managing Local Broadcasts ==

For the official church communication with the tools and guidelines for managing local broadcasts, please refer to this [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/letters/letter?id=fc815bfd-e9d7-4f30-86f3-1d943a55fe28&letterlang=eng&lang=eng notice].

== Church Meet Portal: Frequently Asked Questions ==
==== Who can access and manage Zoom broadcasts in the Church Meet Portal? ====
Zoom "Events" section can be accessed by event managers who have access to the stake/ward Zoom account. Those with the following callings entered into Leader and Clerk Resources will automatically be event managers:

* Mission, Stake, and District Presidencies
* Ward and Branch Presidencies (including executive secretary and clerk)
* Members of Stake and Ward Councils, Mission, Stake, District, Ward, and Branch Technology Specialists

Additional callings can be added manually.

==== Who can access the “Local Unit” section and manage Zoom licenses? ====
Only Stake, Mission, and District Technology Specialists can access the “Local Unit” section of the portal.

==== If the Zoom event has a password, will that still be required? ====
Yes, members will be able to log in and see the event link but will still need to use the password once they are on the Zoom platform.

==== Which languages is Church Meet available in? ====
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

==== What if Zoom meetings/webinars from recurring series are not displayed in the Church Meet portal for publishing? ====
If meeting data from a recurring series is not returned to the “Events” section of the Church Meet portal, event managers will need to create a new recurring series.

==== How can local leadership limit the distribution of Zoom event links? ====
All Zoom events come into the portal as unpublished by default. If you toggle the event to publish, it will be seen by all members of the unit on the “Broadcast” page & Gospel Stream app. If you want to segment the audience to a specific user or group, event managers simply leave events unpublished in the “Events” section and use event IDs to grant access to specific individuals (such as, for one-on-one meetings, for those who are sick or unable to leave their homes, and so forth)

Note: Event codes change after each occurrence of recurring meetings. However, after publishing a recurring series, you’ll receive a prompt asking if you’d like to publish all events within the series to avoid the need to return each week for publication.

==== What is the status of using YouTube and other services for local broadcasts? ====
The use of YouTube and local YouTube accounts for local unit broadcasts is increasingly problematic due to risks impacting the church’s flagship channel and the church’s YouTube partnership program.

Although we are currently not restricting the use of YouTube Live, we are encouraging local event managers to shift from using YouTube to using Zoom whenever possible. By using a church sponsored Zoom license, event managers can more effectively communicate with members about local unit broadcasts through the new Live-Watch page found at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org & the Gospel Stream App ensuring that all local, area, and headquarters-sponsored events can be accessed from a single channel.

==== What precautions should be taken if using YouTube for local broadcasts? ====
If you choose to continue using YouTube, please take the following precautions to limit the risk of the church’s flagship channel being taken down.
* Do not use the name of the Church in your channel name or channel dashboard info.
* Avoid use of any copyrighted materials
* The YouTube recording of the live streams should be deleted by the end of the day
* Be mindful of content being published to Ward or Stake channels

A general handbook revision is being recommended that will provide specific instructions around YouTube and its use in local unit broadcasting. Watch for follow up communication with additional guidance.

==== What is being done to enhance streaming capabilities of Zoom? ====
The Meetinghouse technology team is exploring options to enhance Zoom's streaming capabilities for a seamless transition from YouTube. We are also investigating ways to embed Zoom meetings/webinars directly in the Gospel Stream app for seamless viewing on TVs and set-top boxes (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, etc.).

For questions regarding the use of Zoom accounts, please refer to the [[Zoom FAQ]] article.

Zoom FAQ

2024-11-22T00:48:20Z

Mmatute: /* Q. How do I request a Church-provided Zoom license? */

> [[Meetinghouse Technology]] > [[Virtual Meetings]]

Zoom is the preferred option for broadcasting local church meetings. The church has made available a free enterprise zoom license to all local units since December of 2020.

The following FAQ will answer many of the frequently-asked-questions that Technology Specialists have on how to use Zoom, and how to transition to Zoom.

== Transition to Zoom ==

=== Q. How can I transition from using a streaming platform (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) to using Zoom webinar without substantial cost or effort?   ===
'''A.''' Units using hardware like cell phones (Larix Broadcaster) or laptops (OBS) can transition easily by installing the Zoom app and selecting the correct audio and video sources. Units with encoders like Teradek can transition by using an HDMI to USB video capture device and a laptop as shown below.

[[File:HDMI to USB.jpg|433x433px]]

HDMI to USB video capture devices can be purchased for under $50.00. If your system does not carry audio in the HDMI, you can purchase an HDMI capture card that has a built-in 3.5mm audio input. The capture card will allow your existing camera infrastructure to be used within Zoom as the camera source.

It is recommended that local units use an existing laptop if available. If not available, units should purchase a low-cost laptop or use a member-provided laptop.

=== Q. How do I request a Church-provided Zoom license? ===
'''A.''' To request a Church-provided Zoom license, stake, mission, or district Technology Specialists can acquire licenses for units at meet.churchofjesuschrist.org. The Technology Specialist's calling must be recorded in Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) to access the website.

Once on the website, select "Manage" under the "Local Units" option to request or manage Zoom accounts.

The Technology Specialist should provide an email address for the person managing the local unit license. Zoom will then send instructions on how to complete the account setup and activation.

[[Creating Church Zoom Account|Click Here for more information on creating a Church Zoom Account]]

=== Q. What features are included in the Church-provided Zoom license? ===
A. The Zoom license provided by the Church includes several additional functionalities not included in a free Zoom license, such as the following:

* Concurrent meetings
* Zoom webinar
* Up to 500 connections (meetings and webinars)
* Unlimited meeting length
* Account sharing —The Church’s agreement with Zoom allows the user credentials to be shared within the unit, provided that the account is used only for Church purposes.

A local unit Zoom account would enable local units to:

* Multiple Sunday School classes to be held simultaneously using the breakout room feature.
* Relief Society and Elder’s Quorum Meetings to be held simultaneously.
* Bishopric Meetings and Presidency Meetings to be held simultaneously.
* A running stream used by multiple wards throughout the day for Sacrament Meetings.
* One ward can hold a sacrament meeting while other wards using the same building can hold Bishopric Meetings or other leadership meetings.
* Large Webinars for streaming conferences without the zoom interactive meeting interface.

[[Second-Hour Classes|Click Here for more information on use of Zoom Features and Zoom breakout rooms]].

=== Q. How do I tell if I have a Church-provided Zoom license? ===
'''A.''' Sign into the Zoom account and confirm the following:

* Account name under '''Account Profile''' shows “Church of Jesus Christ – local units.”
* '''Profile''' section '''License Type''' shows “Meeting 500 Participants” and “Webinar 500 Participants.”

If the Zoom account does not match the information above, it is not assigned the Church-provided Zoom licensing.

=== Q. What do I do if my Zoom account doesn’t have the Church-provided licensing? ===
'''A'''. If the email is assigned to a unit in the Meet portal and has a status of “Setup Complete,” contact the Global Services Department or request assistance through the Meet portal feedback button.

If the email is assigned to a unit in the Meet portal and has a status of “Setup Not Complete,” check the email address inbox for an account activation/transfer email from Zoom. If the activation email was not received, contact the Global Services Department or request assistance through the Meet portal feedback button.

If the email is not assigned to a local unit in the Meet portal, request a license if the stake/district/mission has any remaining available licenses.

=== Q. Can we get more than one license per unit?  ===
'''A.''' In the rare case where a unit requires an additional license, an STS can submit that request through [https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org meet.churchofjesuschrist.org]. The cost is subsidized by the Area or Stake budget at $90/year per license. Exceptions require detailed justification and approval.

=== Q. Will previously scheduled meetings be deleted when upgrading to a Church-provided license?  ===
A. No. Meetings and webinars associated with a Zoom account that is upgraded with the Church Zoom licensing will not be deleted or changed.

'''A.''' Yes. If a local unit purchased a Zoom license before Church-provided licenses were available, Zoom can refund the unused balance if the license was not being paid for on a month-to-month basis.

Local units that have already purchased an account directly from Zoom can either keep it or transfer it to a Church account. To transfer the account to the Church provided Zoom accounts, follow the steps outline in the [[Transferring Zoom Account to Church Zoom Account]] article.

If you follow the account registration process in meet.churchofjesuschrist.org and complete the activation email sent by Zoom, but still have a basic account, contact the GSD or submit feedback through the [https://research.churchofjesuschrist.org/jfe/form/SV_5bYzR8hzY8R1gkl feedback button] in the [https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org/ meet.churchofjesuschrist.org portal.]

Zoom FAQ

2024-11-20T23:06:18Z

Mmatute: /* Q. How can I transition from using a streaming platform (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) to using Zoom webinar without substantial cost or effort?   */

> [[Meetinghouse Technology]] > [[Virtual Meetings]]

Zoom is the preferred option for broadcasting local church meetings. The church has made available a free enterprise zoom license to all local units since December of 2020.

The following FAQ will answer many of the frequently-asked-questions that Technology Specialists have on how to use Zoom, and how to transition to Zoom.

== Transition to Zoom ==

=== Q. How can I transition from using a streaming platform (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) to using Zoom webinar without substantial cost or effort?   ===
'''A.''' Units using hardware like cell phones (Larix Broadcaster) or laptops (OBS) can transition easily by installing the Zoom app and selecting the correct audio and video sources. Units with encoders like Teradek can transition by using an HDMI to USB video capture device and a laptop as shown below.

[[File:HDMI to USB.jpg|433x433px]]

HDMI to USB video capture devices can be purchased for under $50.00. If your system does not carry audio in the HDMI, you can purchase an HDMI capture card that has a built-in 3.5mm audio input. The capture card will allow your existing camera infrastructure to be used within Zoom as the camera source.

It is recommended that local units use an existing laptop if available. If not available, units should purchase a low-cost laptop or use a member-provided laptop.

Units using the Mevo all-in-one camera or similar device may setup the device as a [https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.mevo.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Farticles%2F360047065631-Mevo-Wired-and-Wireless-Webcam-Mode-Beta-&data=04%7C01%7Cbret%40ChurchofJesusChrist.org%7Cc638a18fb11845fa06af08d97c4f15c3%7C61e6eeb35fd74aaaae3c61e8deb09b79%7C0%7C0%7C637677501372535983%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=tmr7hxJHdq1HbK%2BwQqdSJrABHv%2FwUL0wjxXL0zB5K9w%3D&reserved=0 wired webcam.]

Mmatute: /* Status of using YouTube and other services */

== New Tools and Guidelines for Managing Local Broadcasts ==

For the official church communication with the tools and guidelines for managing local broadcasts, please refer to this [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/letters/letter?id=fc815bfd-e9d7-4f30-86f3-1d943a55fe28&letterlang=eng&lang=eng notice].

== Church Meet Portal: Frequently Asked Questions ==
==== Who can access and manage Zoom broadcasts in the Church Meet Portal? ====
Zoom "Events" section can be accessed by event managers who have access to the stake/ward Zoom account. Those with the following callings entered into Leader and Clerk Resources will automatically be event managers:

* Mission, Stake, and District Presidencies
* Ward and Branch Presidencies (including executive secretary and clerk)
* Members of Stake and Ward Councils, Mission, Stake, District, Ward, and Branch Technology Specialists

Additional callings can be added manually.

==== Who can access the “Local Unit” section and manage Zoom licenses? ====
Only stake technology specialists can access the “Local Unit” section of the portal.

==== If the Zoom event has a password, will that still be required? ====
Yes, members will be able to log in and see the event link but will still need to use the password once they are on the Zoom platform.

==== Which languages is Church Meet available in? ====
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

==== What if Zoom meetings/webinars from recurring series are not displayed in the Church Meet portal for publishing? ====
If meeting data from a recurring series is not returned to the “Events” section of the Church Meet portal, event managers will need to create a new recurring series.

==== How can local leadership limit the distribution of Zoom event links? ====
All Zoom events come into the portal as unpublished by default. If you toggle the event to publish, it will be seen by all members of the unit on the “Broadcast” page & Gospel Stream app. If you want to segment the audience to a specific user or group, event managers simply leave events unpublished in the “Events” section and use event IDs to grant access to specific individuals (such as, for one-on-one meetings, for those who are sick or unable to leave their homes, and so forth)

Note: Event codes change after each occurrence of recurring meetings. However, after publishing a recurring series, you’ll receive a prompt asking if you’d like to publish all events within the series to avoid the need to return each week for publication.

==== What is the status of using YouTube and other services for local broadcasts? ====
The use of YouTube and local YouTube accounts for local unit broadcasts is increasingly problematic due to risks impacting the church’s flagship channel and the church’s YouTube partnership program.

Although we are currently not restricting the use of YouTube Live, we are encouraging local event managers to shift from using YouTube to using Zoom whenever possible. By using a church sponsored Zoom license, event managers can more effectively communicate with members about local unit broadcasts through the new Live-Watch page found at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org & the Gospel Stream App ensuring that all local, area, and headquarters-sponsored events can be accessed from a single channel.

==== What precautions should be taken if using YouTube for local broadcasts? ====
If you choose to continue using YouTube, please take the following precautions to limit the risk of the church’s flagship channel being taken down.
* Do not use the name of the Church in your channel name or channel dashboard info.
* Avoid use of any copyrighted materials
* The YouTube recording of the live streams should be deleted by the end of the day
* Be mindful of content being published to Ward or Stake channels

A general handbook revision is being recommended that will provide specific instructions around YouTube and its use in local unit broadcasting. Watch for follow up communication with additional guidance.

==== What is being done to enhance streaming capabilities of Zoom? ====
The Meetinghouse technology team is exploring options to enhance Zoom's streaming capabilities for a seamless transition from YouTube. We are also investigating ways to embed Zoom meetings/webinars directly in the Gospel Stream app for seamless viewing on TVs and set-top boxes (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, etc.).

* Ward and Branch Presidencies (including executive secretary and clerk)
* Members of Stake and Ward Councils, Mission, Stake, District, Ward, and Branch Technology Specialists

Additional callings can be added manually.

==== Who can access the “Local Unit” section and manage Zoom licenses? ====
Only stake technology specialists can access the “Local Unit” section of the portal.

==== If the Zoom event has a password, will that still be required? ====
Yes, members will be able to log in and see the event link but will still need to use the password once they are on the Zoom platform.

==== Which languages is Church Meet available in? ====
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

==== What if Zoom meetings/webinars from recurring series are not displayed in the Church Meet portal for publishing? ====
If meeting data from a recurring series is not returned to the “Events” section of the Church Meet portal, event managers will need to create a new recurring series.

==== How can local leadership limit the distribution of Zoom event links? ====
All Zoom events come into the portal as unpublished by default. If you toggle the event to publish, it will be seen by all members of the unit on the “Broadcast” page & Gospel Stream app. If you want to segment the audience to a specific user or group, event managers simply leave events unpublished in the “Events” section and use event IDs to grant access to specific individuals (such as, for one-on-one meetings, for those who are sick or unable to leave their homes, and so forth)

Note: Event codes change after each occurrence of recurring meetings. However, after publishing a recurring series, you’ll receive a prompt asking if you’d like to publish all events within the series to avoid the need to return each week for publication.

==== Status of using YouTube and other services ====
The use of YouTube and local YouTube accounts for local unit broadcasts is increasingly problematic due to risks impacting the church’s flagship channel and the church’s YouTube partnership program.

Although we are currently not restricting the use of YouTube Live, we are encouraging local event managers to shift from using YouTube to using Zoom whenever possible. By using a church sponsored Zoom license, event managers can more effectively communicate with members about local unit broadcasts through the new Live-Watch page found at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org & the Gospel Stream App ensuring that all local, area, and headquarters-sponsored events can be accessed from a single channel.

==== What precautions should be taken if using YouTube for local broadcasts? ====
If you choose to continue using YouTube, please take the following precautions to limit the risk of the church’s flagship channel being taken down.
* Do not use the name of the Church in your channel name or channel dashboard info.
* Avoid use of any copyrighted materials
* The YouTube recording of the live streams should be deleted by the end of the day
* Be mindful of content being published to Ward or Stake channels

A general handbook revision is being recommended that will provide specific instructions around YouTube and its use in local unit broadcasting. Watch for follow up communication with additional guidance.

==== What is being done to enhance streaming capabilities of Zoom? ====
The Meetinghouse technology team is exploring options to enhance Zoom's streaming capabilities for a seamless transition from YouTube. We are also investigating ways to embed Zoom meetings/webinars directly in the Gospel Stream app for seamless viewing on TVs and set-top boxes (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, etc.).

For questions regarding the use of Zoom accounts, please refer to the [[Zoom FAQ]] article.

Meetinghouse Hardware Guidelines

2024-09-12T20:49:18Z

Mmatute: /* STAKE CENTER BROADCASTS */

> [[Meetinghouse Technology]] > [[Virtual Meetings]]

MEETINGHOUSE HARDWARE GUIDELINES

== OVERVIEW ==

== In August of 2021, the Information and Communication Services department (ICS) sent notice to local units that the current meetinghouse webcast (MHW) system would be decommissioned in July 2022. Units have until July 2022 to transition from Meetinghouse Webcast to Zoom but have been encouraged to make the change as early as possible. These guidelines should help you answer questions about and respond to requests for new and updated technologies related to this change. ==

== HANDBOOK REFERENCES ==
The Church’s Handbook of Instruction has three sections pertaining to streaming in the meetinghouse. Below are excerpts from each of these sections. Refer to the handbook for a complete reference.

[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-handbook/29-meetings-in-the-church?lang=eng&para=title_number57-p229 29.2.1.5] <blockquote>“In some cases, the bishop may authorize streaming sacrament meeting for those who cannot attend. For information, see 29.7.” </blockquote>29.7 p15 <blockquote>“For the benefit of these members and others, the Bishop may, as an exception, authorize a livestream of sacrament meetings and of funerals and weddings held in the meetinghouse. Streams allow others to see and hear a meeting remotely but not participate directly.” </blockquote>38.2.3 p4 <blockquote>“The bishop may authorize the streaming of baby blessings, baptisms, confirmations, and Aaronic Priesthood ordinations. The stake president may authorize the streaming of Melchizedek Priesthood ordinations and the setting apart of missionaries.” </blockquote>

== DESIGN PRINCIPLES ==
The following design considerations have been derived from the above excerpts and sections of the handbook:

# For streams that originate in chapels and are broadcast to remote locations, buildings shouldn't be modified.
#* There may be an occasional need for remote presentations at stake conferences. For most systems, no modification to the building or its existing systems is necessary to accommodate such needs.
# Policies affecting streaming of stake conference meetings have not changed. Updates which are required for the Zoom platform to replace Webcast can be made.

=== Design Recommendations ===
Area leadership may allow stakes and districts to use member-owned technology to avoid purchasing laptops, high-end cameras, and other expensive technology. For events, including sacrament meetings, a member’s mobile device can originate the broadcast. The Zoom & YouTube Live platforms support a mobile phone as the video source of the event.

1. Local units approved to use technology for virtual meetings should ensure selected technology and virtual meetings are:

a. Not a distraction.

b. Easy for remote participants to join.

c. Flexible and adaptable as needs, policies, conditions, and technology evolve.

d. Not inclusive of the administration of the sacrament.

e. Deleted within one day after the meeting (if recorded)

2, Counsel with your ecclesiastical leader to determine the following:

a. Unit Needs

b. Preferred Technology

c .Budget

(Choose hardware devices that meet the needs of your area and budget)

== STREAMING IN MEETINGHOUSE CHAPELS (NON-STAKE CENTERS) ==
Meetinghouse buildings should not be modified, and new equipment should not be installed in meetinghouses to enable streaming of sacrament and other meetings. Instead, local units should use portable, temporary devices, such as standalone webcams, phones or laptops with cameras, and a zoom license. See “Camera & Audio Recommendations” for a partial list of options.

Zoom licenses can be requested by stake technology specialists at meet.churchofjesuschrist.org. One license per unit is available (A stake and ward are separate units). License fees are automatically paid by church headquarters.

== STREAMING IN STAKE CENTER CHAPELS ==
Units attending stake centers have 2 options for broadcasting via zoom. First, they may use the same types of portable systems outlined above for meetinghouse units. Alternatively, with the approval of the stake presidency, they may use the integrated video system included in stake centers which is primarily intended for distribution of meetings within the stake center facility (see “Camera & Audio Recommendations” for a partial list of options).

Regardless of which option is chosen, some modifications to the integrated video system should be made to accommodate streaming of stake conference broadcasts via zoom.

=== USING INTEGRATED VIDEO SYSTEM ===
Stake centers in North America are equipped with video distribution systems. These systems allow stakes to distribute audio and video from the chapel to other areas of the building and stream to other buildings. They are primarily used for stake conferences and other stake-level events. These systems are currently equipped with a Teradek device. Following the transition from MHW to Zoom, the Teradek will become obsolete as it is not compatible with Zoom.

To stream video content from the video system, both a computer and capture card will be required. The computer should be provided on an as-needed basis by the local unit or a member of the unit. It can be any type or brand which can run a Zoom session. The capture card can be any of several “cards” which are compatible with the computer being used. See “Capture Cards” for a partial list of options. The card is permanently installed in the video system.

FM Groups may provide one capture card per stake center, as a replacement for the existing Teradek device.

To install the capture card, remove the current Teradek, and attach the capture card in its place. When needed, members may connect their laptop or similar device to the capture card. Zoom will then show the capture card as a video source that they may select.

== ZOOM IN CLASSROOMS ==
Local units may opt to use Zoom or similar technologies to enable members to remotely participate in other meetings. Units should utilize portable solutions to meet these requests (see “Camera & Audio Recommendations” for a partial list of options).

=== PRIESTHOOD, RELIEF SOCIETY, AND CHILDREN’S MEETING ROOMS ===
Many Priesthood, Relief Society, and Children’s meeting rooms have existing sound reinforcement systems. Members may connect the audio output from laptops and other devices running Zoom to one of the sound system inputs. These systems may include XLR (Microphone) and or 3.5mm (headphone jack)-style inputs.

If the system includes a 3.5mm Input, members can connect a 3.5mm cable between the laptop and the sound system. If the system includes an XLR input, members will need to retrieve the crab box or similar device from the library. The 3.5mm device is connected to the crab box; the XLR output is connected from the crab box to the sound system.

As requested by local units, FM groups may replace one XLR jack with a combination XLR/3.5mm Input jack to simplify these types of connections. These rooms do not include a way to input the classroom sound into the Zoom session. Modifications to enable this functionality are not authorized.

== CAMERA & AUDIO RECOMMENDATIONS ==

=== SACRAMENT MEETING BROADCASTS ===

==== '''Video''' ====
The recommended setup using the Zoom platform is a mobile phone mounted on a tripod or a microphone boom near the podium directly connected to the building’s audio system. This has been evaluated and will result in a high-quality viewing experience. If local units feel they need additional functionality, the following options are supported:

According to our product tests, this camera performed better than other PTZ cameras available on the market. There is no PTZ camera on the market at this price point that offers the features that the RL500 provides.

''NOTE: The current E-Market offering is the RL400 from Clear-Touch at $879 until the end of February. Although the look of the RL400 slightly varies from the RL500, Clear-Touch has agreed to include all software and feature upgrades of the RL500 and apply them to the RL400 before shipping them to us.''

'''Audio'''

Within the US and Canada, there are four preferred methods of connecting to the A/V distribution system (see [[Audio input|Understanding Audio Connections in Meetinghouses]] article for additional information).

== CAPTURE CARDS ==
Capture cards vary drastically in price depending on quality and features. For our purposes, superior-quality cards can be found for about $150 USD. Due to variation in member-provided computers used to host the Zoom sessions, there is no single card that will work with all devices. However, USB-C-compatible capture cards offer the broadest compatibility. Before purchasing a capture card for local units, ensure one is needed and that USB-C style will be compatible with their device. Meetinghouse-Shared Services recommends [https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Ripsaw-Game-Streaming-Capture/dp/B07Q2X651Z?th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=u0a4-20&linkId=59d80a9b744e7003505c7f0b9f8012a1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl Razer Ripsaw.]

== FAQ ==

=== Q. What do I do with the old Teradek devices? ===
'''A'''. The Teradek device does not have any sensitive or private Church data stored on it and requires no special handling. Please follow Church and local guidelines for proper disposal or recycling of electronic devices when disposing of these devices.

=== Q. What about units with special needs, such as ASL (American Sign Language) or language units? ===
'''A'''. Special Needs units will have unique requirements which merit the granting of approval. For example, ASL units have already been granted approvals for mounted cameras, regardless of whether the unit meets in a meetinghouse or stake center. STS’s please contact your local FM, and they will work with Steve Poulsen, or Kurt Dallinga in MFD Shared Services to discuss options to meet these needs.

=== Q. Is more than one camera permitted in the chapel? ===
'''A.''' The standard stake center system includes one permanently fixed camera and one input for a portable camera. Additional camera inputs are not approved. When properly set up, these two cameras should be sufficient to produce a stake conference video feed which is simple, yet able to convey the spirit of the meeting to those members attending in other parts of the stake center or other buildings.

=== Q. What is the current guidance about stakes purchasing their own Camera? ===
'''A.''' Source: (MFD Manager)

Currently, when a stake requests an extra camera to be mounted (in addition to the one standard camera), our instruction from MFD is to provide them with the guideline and recommend that it be followed (in the spirit of the PB Vision/Temporal Affairs Guiding Principles of “Simplicity”, etc.). 

If the stake persists and purchases an additional camera and then asks the FM Group to mount the camera, MFD is instructed to do so to ensure it is done properly (safety, etc.), and to inform the RAM about the mounting (not to seek permission to install, but to notify RAM what was requested of us).

=== Q. Who do I talk to about installing a mounted PTZ camera? ===
'''A.''' The decision to permanently mount a camera should involve both the unit and the facilities management group. They should also consider the need for cameras at events held outside the chapel.  Local units who have a desire to obtain PTZ camera should make the request through the proper channels. For reference, the request process is listed below:

The STS talks to the PFR. The PFR then talks to the Stake President for confirmation. Then the PFR discusses this with the FM Manager.

=== Q. Where should the fixed PTZ camera and portable camera jack be installed? ===
''NOTE: Fixed PTZ cameras and portable camera jacks are only installed in stake center buildings''.

'''A'''. When determining the placement of the fixed camera, a suitable location should be found where:

• The camera lens is placed at or near the eye level of an average speaker at the pulpit.

• The camera has a clear view of the seats where the presiding authorities are typically seated.

Users often wish to center the camera in the chapel, placing it just above the folding partition wall header in the rear of the chapel. Unless the header is near eye level, this placement should be avoided. A camera placed above the header is more likely to:

• Present an unnatural viewing angle for remote participants,

• Experience a glare from lights reflecting off surfaces on the rostrum.

The portable camera jack should be placed on the chapel wall opposite from the fixed camera location. It can then be moved anywhere throughout the chapel if the video cable is long enough.

=== Q. Who pays for streaming/broadcasting services? ===
'''A.''' The Church covers the costs of one Zoom license per unit. The facilities management group has funds to provide and maintain audio and video hardware included on the standard plan at the request of the stake or district leaders. All additional broadcasting equipment (e.g., cameras, cables, and adapters) are purchased and maintained by the stake or district leaders using local unit funds.

ICS’s Technology Standards for the Funding of Meetinghouse Technology is quoted below:

3.2 Funding of  Meetinghouse  Technology 

3.2.1 The facilities management group (FMG) within the Meetinghouse Facilities Department (MFD) provides meetinghouse technology equipment as directed by the Office of the Presiding Bishop (PBO) and Area Presidencies. Standard meetinghouse technology equipment is included in new building construction. Maintaining, upgrading, and replacing equipment is the responsibility of the FMG which adheres to MFD and Information and Communications Services (ICS) guidelines and standards. 

3.2.1.1 Equipment which was provided with new building construction or was provided later by the FMG is replaced when the product reaches end of life. 

3.2.1.2 Equipment under warranty should be replaced or repaired according to warranty instructions.  This is managed by the FMG. 

3.2.1.3 MFD has established quantity and quality standards for each type of equipment. Standards vary based on building size, number of units in the building and local adaptation needs.  

3.2.2 Local unit budgets should not be used to purchase meetinghouse technology (see General Handbook: Serving in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,  34.7.2).  

3.2.3 Local leaders should not seek donations to pay for meetinghouse technology equipment or donations of equipment. If local leaders approve the use of donated equipment, then security, inventory, maintenance, and replacement costs are the responsibility of the local unit.   

3.2.4 Equipment not provided by the FMG is the responsibility of local units to secure, inventory, maintain and replace.

Local Broadcasts on Gospel Stream

2024-04-30T22:35:49Z

Mmatute: Updated Verbiage & Links

Leaders can now create secure links for viewing ward or stake meeting broadcasts through the [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/gospel-stream-mobile-and-ott-app?lang=eng Gospel Stream] mobile app and online at [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/broadcasts?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_broadcasts 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 [https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org/ 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 [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/broadcasts?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_broadcasts 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 [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/gospel-stream-mobile-and-ott-app?lang=eng Gospel Stream] and [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/broadcasts?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_broadcasts Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org], select “'''Unpublish'''”

6. Members can access published webinars by logging in to the [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/gospel-stream-mobile-and-ott-app?lang=eng Gospel Stream] app or [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/broadcasts?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_broadcasts 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 [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/broadcasts?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_broadcasts 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.

Meet-Portal Events Section & Live Watch Page

2024-03-21T20:38:24Z

Mmatute: Title Clarity

== Meet-Portal Events Section & New Live Watch Page ==
Event managers can more effectively communicate with members about local unit broadcasts through the new Live-Watch page found at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Additionally, we're working on making local zoom events available on the new Gospel Stream mobile app, ensuring that all local, area, and headquarters-sponsored events can be accessed from a single channel.
[[File:Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 2.16.35 PM.png|none|thumb|460x460px]]

Follow steps below to publish your local Zoom events on the Live-Watch page:

Step 1:

Log into your local unit Zoom account and create your Zoom event(s): Zoom.us
[[File:Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 2.18.37 PM.png|none|thumb|459x459px]]

Step 2:

Go to meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and select "Manage" under the "Events" section.
[[File:Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 2.21.05 PM.png|none|thumb|464x464px]]

Step 3:

Choose your unit from the drop-down menu, and a list of all your scheduled Zoom events will automatically appear. You can make an event viewable to all members in your unit by toggling the "Publish" button. Events are set to private by default (See Step 5 below for private event info).
[[File:Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 2.22.57 PM.png|none|thumb|468x468px]]

Step 4:

After toggling to publish, your scheduled Zoom event will appear on the Church’s public “broadcast” page alongside all Church broadcasts at broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Note: Local events will only be visible to members within their designated unit and when they are logged in.
[[File:Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 2.25.59 PM.png|none|thumb|470x470px]]

Step 5:

Each event will now have a unique code that event managers can share with anyone to view the broadcast. When an event is Published, leaders can use these codes to grant access to individuals outside of their unit for events such as funerals, firesides, baby blessings, primary programs, and multi-unit events. For private events, keep the publish toggle off and share the event code with specific individuals (e.g., shut-ins, sick) for them to enter it at broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
[[File:Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 2.30.36 PM.png|none|thumb|477x477px]]

Note: Zoom events are accessible using an event code whether or not you are signed in on broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. with your church account.

Transferring Zoom Account to Church Zoom Account

2022-09-28T23:45:15Z

Mmatute: /* Solution / Fix */

> [[Meetinghouse Technology]] > [[Virtual Meetings|Virtual Meeting]]

===Issue/Question: ===
How does a Stake called Technology Specialist transfer a Zoom account that was purchased with unit funds to the General Church Zoom account?

'''Note''':

Many local leaders purchased Zoom accounts before General Church Zoom accounts were available.  Local units that have already purchased an account directly from Zoom can either keep it or transfer it to a Church account, however Local units are encouraged to transfer these accounts to a Church Zoom account.

===Solution / Fix===
Step 1. Go to <nowiki>https://meet.churchofjesuschrist.org</nowiki>.

Step 2. Select "Manage" under the "Local Units" option.

[[File:MeetPortal1.jpg|alt=|478x478px]]

Step 3. The following screen appears. Under Add Account select the unit you would like to create a General Church Zoom account for.

[[File:Meet Portal Deactivate .png|527x527px]]

Step 4. Enter the email address associated with the local unit purchased Zoom account.

Warning:

Meetinghouse Hardware Guidelines

2022-03-08T19:26:31Z

Mmatute: /* OVERVIEW */

>> [[Meetinghouse Technology]] >> [[Virtual Meetings]]

MEETINGHOUSE HARDWARE GUIDELINES

== OVERVIEW ==

== In August of 2021, the Information and Communication Services department (ICS) sent notice to local units that the current meetinghouse webcast (MHW) system would be decommissioned in July 2022. Units have until July 2022 to transition from Meetinghouse Webcast to Zoom but have been encouraged to make the change as early as possible. These guidelines should help you answer questions about and respond to requests for new and updated technologies related to this change. ==

== HANDBOOK REFERENCES ==
The Church’s Handbook of Instruction has three sections pertaining to streaming in the meetinghouse. Below are excerpts from each of these sections. Refer to the handbook for a complete reference.

[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-handbook/29-meetings-in-the-church?lang=eng&para=title_number57-p229 29.2.1.5] <blockquote>“In some cases, the bishop may authorize streaming sacrament meeting for those who cannot attend. For information, see 29.7.” </blockquote>29.7 p15 <blockquote>“For the benefit of these members and others, the Bishop may, as an exception, authorize a livestream of sacrament meetings and of funerals and weddings held in the meetinghouse. Streams allow others to see and hear a meeting remotely but not participate directly.” </blockquote>38.2.3 p4 <blockquote>“The bishop may authorize the streaming of baby blessings, baptisms, confirmations, and Aaronic Priesthood ordinations. The stake president may authorize the streaming of Melchizedek Priesthood ordinations and the setting apart of missionaries.” </blockquote>

== DESIGN PRINCIPALS ==
The following design considerations have been derived from the above excerpts and sections of the handbook:

# For streams that originate in chapels and are broadcast to remote locations, buildings shouldn't be modified.
#* There may be an occasional need for remote presentations at stake conferences. For most systems, no modification to the building or its existing systems is necessary to accommodate such needs.
# Policies affecting streaming of stake conference meetings have not changed. Updates which are required for the Zoom platform to replace Webcast can be made.

=== Design Recommendations ===
Area leadership may allow stakes and districts to use member-owned technology to avoid purchasing laptops, high-end cameras, and other expensive technology. For events, including sacrament meetings, a member’s mobile device can originate the broadcast. The Zoom & YouTube Live platforms support a mobile phone as the video source of the event.

1. Local units approved to use technology for virtual meetings should ensure selected technology and virtual meetings are:

a. Not a distraction.

b. Easy for remote participants to join.

c. Flexible and adaptable as needs, policies, conditions, and technology evolve.

d. Not inclusive of the administration of the sacrament.

e. Deleted within one day after the meeting (if recorded)

2, Counsel with your ecclesiastical leader to determine the following:

a. Unit Needs

b. Preferred Technology

c .Budget

(Choose hardware devices that meet the needs of your area and budget)

== STREAMING IN MEETINGHOUSE CHAPELS (NON-STAKE CENTERS) ==
Meetinghouse buildings should not be modified, and new equipment should not be installed in meetinghouses to enable streaming of sacrament and other meetings. Instead, local units should use portable, temporary devices, such as standalone webcams, phones or laptops with cameras, and a zoom license. See “Camera & Audio Recommendations” for a partial list of options.

Zoom licenses can be requested by stake technology specialists at meet.churchofjesuschrist.org. One license per unit is available (A stake and ward are separate units). License fees are automatically paid by church headquarters.

== STREAMING IN STAKE CENTER CHAPELS ==
Units attending stake centers have 2 options for broadcasting via zoom. First, they may use the same types of portable systems outlined above for meetinghouse units. Alternatively, with the approval of the stake presidency, they may use the integrated video system included in stake centers which is primarily intended for distribution of meetings within the stake center facility (see “Camera & Audio Recommendations” for a partial list of options).

Regardless of which option is chosen, some modifications to the integrated video system should be made to accommodate streaming of stake conference broadcasts via zoom.

=== USING INTEGRATED VIDEO SYSTEM ===
Stake centers in North America are equipped with video distribution systems. These systems allow stakes to distribute audio and video from the chapel to other areas of the building and stream to other buildings. They are primarily used for stake conferences and other stake-level events. These systems are currently equipped with a Teradek device. Following the transition from MHW to Zoom, the Teradek will become obsolete as it is not compatible with Zoom.

To stream video content from the video system, both a computer and capture card will be required. The computer should be provided on an as-needed basis by the local unit or a member of the unit. It can be any type or brand which can run a Zoom session. The capture card can be any of several “cards” which are compatible with the computer being used. See “Capture Cards” for a partial list of options. The card is permanently installed in the video system.

FM Groups may provide one capture card per stake center, as a replacement for the existing Teradek device.

To install the capture card, remove the current Teradek, and attach the capture card in its place. When needed, members may connect their laptop or similar device to the capture card. Zoom will then show the capture card as a video source that they may select.

== ZOOM IN CLASSROOMS ==
Local units may opt to use Zoom or similar technologies to enable members to remotely participate in other meetings. Units should utilize portable solutions to meet these requests (see “Camera & Audio Recommendations” for a partial list of options).

=== PRIESTHOOD, RELIEF SOCIETY, AND CHILDREN’S MEETING ROOMS ===
Many Priesthood, Relief Society, and Children’s meeting rooms have existing sound reinforcement systems. Members may connect the audio output from laptops and other devices running Zoom to one of the sound system inputs. These systems may include XLR (Microphone) and or 3.5mm (headphone jack)-style inputs.

If the system includes a 3.5mm Input, members can connect a 3.5mm cable between the laptop and the sound system. If the system includes an XLR input, members will need to retrieve the crab box or similar device from the library. The 3.5mm device is connected to the crab box; the XLR output is connected from the crab box to the sound system.

As requested by local units, FM groups may replace one XLR jack with a combination XLR/3.5mm Input jack to simplify these types of connections. These rooms do not include a way to input the classroom sound into the Zoom session. Modifications to enable this functionality are not authorized.

== CAMERA & AUDIO RECOMMENDATIONS ==

=== SACRAMENT MEETING BROADCASTS ===

==== '''Video''' ====
The recommended setup using the Zoom platform is a mobile phone mounted on a tripod or a microphone boom near the podium directly connected to the building’s audio system. This has been evaluated and will result in a high-quality viewing experience. If local units feel they need additional functionality, the following options are supported:

Although the look of the RL400 slightly varies from the RL500, Clear-Touch has agreed to include all software and feature upgrades of the RL500 and apply them to the RL400 before shipping them to us.''

'''Audio'''

Within the US and Canada, there are four preferred methods of connecting to the A/V distribution system (see [[Audio input|Understanding Audio Connections in Meetinghouses]] article for additional information).

== CAPTURE CARDS ==
Capture cards vary drastically in price depending on quality and features. For our purposes, superior-quality cards can be found for about $150 USD. Due to variation in member-provided computers used to host the Zoom sessions, there is no single card that will work with all devices. However, USB-C-compatible capture cards offer the broadest compatibility. Before purchasing a capture card for local units, ensure one is needed and that USB-C style will be compatible with their device.

== FAQ ==

=== Q. What do I do with the old Teradek devices? ===
'''A'''. The Teradek device does not have any sensitive or private Church data stored on it and requires no special handling. Please follow Church and local guidelines for proper disposal or recycling of electronic devices when disposing of these devices.

=== Q. What about units with special needs, such as ASL (American Sign Language) or language units? ===
'''A'''. Special Needs units will have unique requirements which merit the granting of approval. For example, ASL units have already been granted approvals for mounted cameras, regardless of whether the unit meets in a meetinghouse or stake center. STS’s please contact your local FM, and they will work with Steve Poulsen, or Kurt Dallinga in MFD Shared Services to discuss options to meet these needs.

=== Q. Is more than one camera permitted in the chapel? ===
'''A.''' The standard stake center system includes one permanently fixed camera and one input for a portable camera. Additional camera inputs are not approved. When properly set up, these two cameras should be sufficient to produce a stake conference video feed which is simple, yet able to convey the spirit of the meeting to those members attending in other parts of the stake center or other buildings.

=== Q. What is the current guidance about stakes purchasing their own Camera? ===
'''A.''' Source: (MFD Manager)

Currently, when a stake requests an extra camera to be mounted (in addition to the one standard camera), our instruction from MFD is to provide them with the guideline and recommend that it be followed (in the spirit of the PB Vision/Temporal Affairs Guiding Principles of “Simplicity”, etc.). 

If the stake persists and purchases an additional camera and then asks the FM Group to mount the camera, MFD is instructed to do so to ensure it is done properly (safety, etc.), and to inform the RAM about the mounting (not to seek permission to install, but to notify RAM what was requested of us).

=== Q. Who do I talk to about installing a mounted PTZ camera? ===
'''A.''' The decision to permanently mount a camera should involve both the unit and the facilities management group. They should also consider the need for cameras at events held outside the chapel.  Local units who have a desire to obtain PTZ camera should make the request through the proper channels. For reference, the request process is listed below:

The STS talks to the PFR. The PFR then talks to the Stake President for confirmation. Then the PFR discusses this with the FM Manager.

=== Q. Where should the fixed PTZ camera and portable camera jack be installed? ===
''NOTE: Fixed PTZ cameras and portable camera jacks are only installed in stake center buildings''.

'''A'''. When determining the placement of the fixed camera, a suitable location should be found where:

• The camera lens is placed at or near the eye level of an average speaker at the pulpit.

• The camera has a clear view of the seats where the presiding authorities are typically seated.

Users often wish to center the camera in the chapel, placing it just above the folding partition wall header in the rear of the chapel. Unless the header is near eye level, this placement should be avoided. A camera placed above the header is more likely to:

• Present an unnatural viewing angle for remote participants,

• Experience a glare from lights reflecting off surfaces on the rostrum.

The portable camera jack should be placed on the chapel wall opposite from the fixed camera location. It can then be moved anywhere throughout the chapel if the video cable is long enough.

=== Q. Who pays for streaming/broadcasting services? ===
'''A.''' The Church covers the costs of one Zoom license per unit. The facilities management group has funds to provide and maintain audio and video hardware included on the standard plan at the request of the stake or district leaders. All additional broadcasting equipment (e.g., cameras, cables, and adapters) are purchased and maintained by the stake or district leaders using local unit funds.

ICS’s Technology Standards for the Funding of Meetinghouse Technology is quoted below:

3.2 Funding of  Meetinghouse  Technology 

3.2.1 The facilities management group (FMG) within the Meetinghouse Facilities Department (MFD) provides meetinghouse technology equipment as directed by the Office of the Presiding Bishop (PBO) and Area Presidencies. Standard meetinghouse technology equipment is included in new building construction. Maintaining, upgrading, and replacing equipment is the responsibility of the FMG which adheres to MFD and Information and Communications Services (ICS) guidelines and standards. 

3.2.1.1 Equipment which was provided with new building construction or was provided later by the FMG is replaced when the product reaches end of life. 

3.2.1.2 Equipment under warranty should be replaced or repaired according to warranty instructions.  This is managed by the FMG. 

3.2.1.3 MFD has established quantity and quality standards for each type of equipment. Standards vary based on building size, number of units in the building and local adaptation needs.  

3.2.2 Local unit budgets should not be used to purchase meetinghouse technology (see General Handbook: Serving in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,  34.7.2).  

3.2.3 Local leaders should not seek donations to pay for meetinghouse technology equipment or donations of equipment. If local leaders approve the use of donated equipment, then security, inventory, maintenance, and replacement costs are the responsibility of the local unit.   

3.2.4 Equipment not provided by the FMG is the responsibility of local units to secure, inventory, maintain and replace.
