Live streaming

Live streaming that does more than just stream.

If you already have a YouTube channel, streaming through it adds no extra delivery cost on our side — or bring a stream you already run elsewhere. Either way, chat, engagement cards, and a real prayer wall are built into the page itself, not linked out to a comment box that has nothing to do with the rest of your church's digital life.

Where does the stream actually come from?

Two honest answers, depending on what you already have.

Kingdom Spaces doesn't force one video pipeline on every church. There are two separate questions here, and they're easy to conflate — so we keep them apart on purpose.

Broadcasting to everyone

Your own YouTube channel — connect it once
Create, go live, and end the broadcast from your admin
No added delivery cost — you're using infrastructure you already have
or

Already streaming elsewhere?

Vimeo, Facebook Live, or any embeddable source
Paste the embed — the engagement layer wraps around it
Same chat, prayer wall, and cards either way
Admin Live Streaming dashboard: YouTube channel connected, events linked, watching right now.

Today, "where does the broadcast come from" has one honest answer with no added delivery cost: a YouTube channel you already have — reliable, and nothing extra to pay us for it, but your service is still delivered under YouTube's own policies, ad rules, and content restrictions.

Coming soon

A native option — your stream, your rules.

There's no added delivery cost with YouTube because it's someone else's infrastructure — and someone else's policies — doing the work. We're building a native delivery path — your service streamed through Kingdom Spaces' own infrastructure (via Bunny's CDN), not YouTube's — so a church that wants full control isn't stuck choosing between "YouTube's rules" and "building it yourself."

No YouTube content policies, ad insertion, or takedown risk Your stream, delivered on infrastructure your church actually controls Available at higher plan tiers — shaped by fair-use capacity, not content rules Same chat, prayer wall, and engagement cards either way — nothing to relearn

The honest tradeoff: no added delivery cost but YouTube-shaped, or a native path that's church-owned but capacity-shaped by plan. Neither is "no restrictions" — just two different kinds of limit, and you get to pick which one fits your church.

The other kind of video

Broadcast is one-to-many. Prayer and community calls are different.

A Sunday broadcast is one stream, watched by everyone — that's what YouTube (or your existing source) handles, and it costs nothing extra because you're not hosting the video yourself. Prayer calls and community rooms are real two-way video conversations, several people talking at once — that runs on Kingdom Spaces' own real-time infrastructure, not YouTube.

Every plan includes the full broadcast experience — chat, prayer wall, engagement cards Real-time prayer and community video calls unlock from our Growth tier upward Higher tiers add more concurrent rooms and sessions as your congregation grows No feature is ever hidden behind a tier — only how much real-time capacity you need

During the service

What a viewer actually sees while your service is live.

Live chat alongside the stream, moderated by your team Engagement cards — polls, prompts, and scripture references A prayer wall a viewer can submit to without leaving the page Notes and Bible tools docked right next to the video
Viewer-facing live page — video, chat, and an engagement card side by side.

Someone watching from their phone can pray, take notes, and read along — without ever opening a second app.

What's included

Everything around the stream, not just the stream.

Live chat

Moderated, real-time

Viewers chat during the service; your team moderates without leaving the page.

Engagement cards

Polls & prompts

Push a poll, a scripture reference, or a call-to-action live, timed to the message.

Prayer wall

Built into the live page

A viewer can submit a prayer request mid-service without leaving the stream.

Flexible video source

YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, or your own

Connect your YouTube channel for the full integrated flow, or embed a stream from anywhere else.

Simulated live

For pre-recorded services

Play back a recorded service in sync for every viewer, as if it were live — same chat, same prayer wall.

Mobile parity

Same experience, any device

Chat, prayer wall, and notes all work the same way on the Kingdom Spaces app.

Questions

Do we need a YouTube channel to use this?
It's the easiest option, with no added delivery cost — connect your church's own channel and manage broadcasts from your admin. If you'd rather stream through Vimeo, Facebook, or another provider, you can embed that instead; the chat, prayer wall, and engagement cards work the same way regardless of source.
Does connecting YouTube cost anything extra?
No — you're streaming through your own YouTube channel, so there's no additional video-delivery cost on our side. It's the reason YouTube is the default recommendation for most churches.
Is the native (non-YouTube) streaming option available yet?
Not yet — it's on our roadmap, not live today. YouTube is the real, working option right now. We'd rather tell you honestly what's coming than imply it already exists.
What's actually different between plan tiers, then?
Not the broadcast experience — every tier gets the full chat, prayer wall, and engagement cards. What scales by tier is real-time, two-way video capacity: how many concurrent prayer calls or community rooms your congregation can run at once.
Can guests (not signed in) chat or submit prayer requests?
Yes — guests are treated as first-class: a session works before any login, and requests can be linked to an account later.
What if we don't stream live every week?
Simulated-live playback lets you replay a pre-recorded service in sync for every viewer, keeping the same chat and prayer-wall experience.
Does this work on the mobile app too?
Yes — chat, prayer wall, and notes all carry over to the Kingdom Spaces mobile app.
