Hi Churches, With the current gathering restrictions in place, a number of churches have shown interest or are already preparing to live stream their service. This could be done directly from the church website, or through a streaming service / web meeting tool like Zoom, Skype, Facebook Live, YouTube or Twitch.
If you are planning to incorporate songs into your stream, please be aware that the standard CCLI structure DOES NOT ALLOW for the transmission of songs or their words. Other elements like readings, prayer and messages should be OK.
CCLI does offer a Streaming Licence that can be added to your list, for an annual fee based on the size of the expected viewing of the service. Details of the licence can be found here - https://au.ccli.com/streaming-licence-manual/ . Costs of the licence can be found here - https://au.ccli.com/copyright-licences/#church-licences (scroll down the page to Streaming Licence and click on pricing). Please contact CCLI as soon as possible to discuss your needs and arrange for the appropriate licence if you are considering streaming your church service. They are available weekdays, 9am - 5pm (Sydney time) 1300225400. Or you can log directly into your CCLI Account Profile and add a new licence - https://profile.ccli.com/account/signin . You will need your Church ID Number (which can be found on your last CCLI Licencing Invoice). Please visit their website for more information or other contact options - https://au.ccli.com/ Grace and peace at this challenging time.
