Why Put Your Church Live Stream on Your Website?

Your church already streams services on Facebook or YouTube. But not every member uses social media. Up to 30% of your congregation may not have a Facebook account, and older members or homebound parishioners rely on your website to stay connected. Putting your live stream directly on your church website gives every member access to every service, without asking them to create social media accounts they don't want. With EmbedVidio, you set it up once and every future service appears on your site automatically. No weekly embed code updates, no Sunday morning scramble, no volunteers needed to press buttons.

1

Create Your Free EmbedVidio Account

Sign up at embedvid.io. No credit card required. Your 7-day free trial includes every feature and layout, so you can test it during an actual Sunday service before committing.

2

Connect Your Church's Streaming Account

Link the Facebook Page or YouTube channel your church streams from. This is how EmbedVidio knows when you go live and detects your stream automatically. You can connect multiple platforms if your church streams to both.

3

Pick a Layout That Fits Your Church Website

Choose from 6 responsive layouts: wall, grid, collage, slider, carousel, or single video. All are mobile-friendly and adapt to any screen size. Customize colors to match your church's branding.

4

Paste the Embed Code on Your Website

Copy your one-time embed code from EmbedVidio and paste it into your church website. On WordPress, use a Custom HTML block. On Squarespace, use a Code Block. On Wix, use an HTML iframe element. This is the only technical step, and it takes about 30 seconds.

5

Go Live and Your Website Updates Automatically

Start your service on Facebook or YouTube like you normally do. Within seconds, your church website detects the live stream and starts playing it. No page refresh, no manual updates. When the service ends, the widget switches to your recent recordings so members can always catch up.

Any Church Website

EmbedVidio works with every major website platform churches use: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Shopify, and any custom-built site. If your website supports HTML, EmbedVidio works on it. For platform-specific instructions, see our guides for WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix.

Why Churches Use EmbedVidio for Live Streaming

Reach Members Not on Social Media

Not everyone in your congregation has a Facebook account. Your church website is the one place every member can go to watch services live or catch up on recordings they missed.

No More Sunday Morning Stress

Forget the weekly routine of grabbing new embed codes before service starts. EmbedVidio handles everything automatically after a one-time setup. Your tech volunteers get their Sunday mornings back.

Professional Between Services Too

When your church is not live, the widget displays your recent recorded services in a clean video library. A member visiting your site on Tuesday can watch last Sunday's sermon. Your website never looks empty.

Your app has been a definite blessing. A number of members do not use Facebook and for that reason, have been unable to watch our livestream services. Now, they can! Thank you!
