Troubleshooting & Support
We understand it can be stressful experiencing technical difficulties when watching a live stream. Below are some troubleshooting tips to assist you.
If you continue to experience problems, please don't stress, the video will be available to watch on the same webpage at the end of the live stream.
I cannot access/ find the live stream webpage
The fastest way to request a copy of a live stream link is via the live WebChat button at the bottom right corner of this page (example image below). As the live stream webpage is a private, it cannot be googled or searched on our website. If you have been given the website link, please try pasting it directly into your website address bar.
There is no sound/the sound is low
Please make sure the volume on your device is turned up or is not on mute.
When the live stream starts, the video may load with the volume on mute. If this happens, an unmute button will appear on the inside of the video box (like the image below). Simply click on this button to start the sound.
The live stream has not started
The live stream generally starts 5 minutes prior to the service start time. If you do not automatically see the video go live, please try refreshing your webpage. The refresh button can be found at the top of the webpage next to the address bar (like the image below) or by right clicking on the page and selecting refresh/ reload from the menu. If the video does not automatically play, press the play button on the screen.

The live stream is freezing
There could be two reasons why you are experiencing freezing during the live stream. Poor internet at the church/venue or poor internet on your device. As a first step, please try refreshing your web browser.
If we are experiencing poor internet connection at the church/venue, an update will be added to the top of the private webpage, so you are aware in advance.
The live stream may also freeze due to the internet speed on your own device. For the best viewing, we recommend that you are using a fast internet with a download speed between 5mbps to 10mbps.
Check your internet speed here: https://fast.com/
The video quality will automatically adjust based on your internet speed to help continue playing with slow/ poor internet.
If you are experiencing poor internet connection on WiFi, you may like to watch the stream on your phone using a 4G/ 5G connection.
If you continue to experience difficulties, a recording of the live stream will always be available to view on the private webpage shortly afterwards.
