Fave Raves: 29 tech pros share their favorite IT products. Justin Anderson from G9MD raves about Wowza Streaming Engine.

Opportunities to stream video and audio content are on the rise, from TV Everywhere and live linear TV to over-the-top (OTT) content and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD). As such, organizations are challenged to deliver video streaming technology across devices and channels. 

Video is permeating society, and churches worldwide need to be sure they leverage it while staying within budget. In a recent survey from AT&T, 41 percent of respondents said they use mobile devices to connect to faith-based organizations or inspiration sites. With this shift in congregation viewership, churches everywhere are working toward quickly and easily live-streaming sermons, services, conferences, and other events to remote worshipers on various devices.

Live streaming helps churches expand the reach of their message to new audiences and deeply engage with their congregations, but managing costs and ensuring that live-streaming technologies are written into the budget is crucial to success.
