Looking for tips to make your remote stream the best possible quality?
Testing
Schedule test streams before services and especially when streaming from a new location • Only use the Preview button right before you are ready to start the service
Run tests for at least 2 minutes to preserve the connection
Network Connection
Remote Live relies on wifi connection or cell coverage. Advise families of the limitations and assure them of a local recording to upload if necessary
Scheduling
Schedule at least 2 hours prior to the service
Set recording to begin on time and add extra time at the end
Service Notes
Position device no more than 15-20 feet away from celebrants
Be closer to speakers if a powered P/A or speaker is unavailable.
Environmental challenges affect outdoor services. Windy days make audio difficult to pick up. Very warm or cold days affect battery performance.
Extending Services
Extend at least 15 minutes before the scheduled end time.
Only extend from the device that is recording or from a computer console (not another remote device)
Preserve Local Space
Review the service afterward. If the local recording is not needed, delete it from archives.
