The short answer: is BoxCast right for your church?
BoxCast is a paid streaming platform that sends your service to your website, Facebook and YouTube at the same time, then keeps the recordings on demand. It's best for churches that want scheduled streams and a real person to call on Sunday morning. The catch: plans start at $109 a month billed yearly, and its Spark encoder costs extra.
Who BoxCast is for
Great for
- Churches that want one stream to reach the website, Facebook and YouTube
- Teams who want someone to call when the stream won't start at 8:55
- Churches with a campus that watches the main service live
Skip it if
- Churches with no monthly streaming budget. Free streaming software and YouTube can work.
- Teams that only stream to one social platform. A simpler, cheaper tool may be enough.
How churches use BoxCast
Scheduled Sunday stream
Schedule each week's broadcast ahead of time so it starts on your website and social channels without anyone scrambling.
Sunday morning support
When something breaks before the service, call BoxCast's US-based streaming coaches, who answer from 7 a.m. Eastern on Sundays.
Multi-site viewing
Use the Multi-Site player so another campus can watch the main campus sermon live.
