It’s time for episode three of our new interactive live show helping churches communicate in the era of COVID. Today we are discussing tips for hosting online services & Spiritual Sharing Sessions using Zoom video conferencing. Following up on our last two productive meetings (which are available to watch on-demand) today we will review how to use break out sessions to make your online services more intimate. In our past episodes, we have discussed the need to go beyond live streaming and explained why two way communications are so necessary for keeping congregations together during a time when communities are 100% distributed. We have also discussed a return for in-person church attendance and what that will mean when many of the congregation will have to stay at home. We are going to recap all of this information, and provide ample time for Q&A. But most importantly, we will be hosting a live Zoom session where you can join intimate break out sessions with other worship leaders in groups of 4. This will be a process we call Virtual World Cafe, and it’s something you need to learn about as we push forward into this brave new world of online communications.

recap

13. The New Normal?
In this era of COVID, we’ve been spending a lot
of time discussion how to stream
meetings/services to remote participants. When
social distancing restrictions are lifted we’re
likely to have both local (in-room) participants as
well as remote participants. If all we’re doing is
broadcasting (1-way), this is no problem.
● But what if you want interactivity?
● How do you include remote participants in
an interactive large class, workshop or
church service?

14. What have we found?
Many have discovered during COVID that our
community is much larger and more far-flung
than we ever knew, so we feel the need to keep
everyone included even when most of us can
meet face-to-face. But how to do this? It
introduces a number of issues that are more
complex than having a 100% distributed church
service.

15. dentify your tech-savvy
worship leaders and
communication champions.
Make them hosts and/or co-
hosts of your meetings.

This introduces an ethernet (IP) connection between camera and
laptop, through a switch, in addition to the USB connection. Benefits:
• Laptop can control camera with PTZOptics controller over IP
connection
• Laptop (with OBS) can capture synchronized IP audio and video
for high quality recording independent of Zoom broadcasting.
(Note: Zoom and OBS can’t access the USB video stream
concurrently, hence the value of parallel USB and IP streams)
• So…Zoom uses USB; OBS and camera controller use IP.

Back to the simple diagram, but now we have Zoom audio from
remote participants coming into the mixing board for
amplification into the room (heavy red line). Potential for a
feedback loop (thin red line).
Our solution is … on the mixer, do NOT mix the laptop-in
channel into the mix bus that’s feeding the audio-out to the
camera. Thus, the audio signal going to the camera (and back
out to Zoom) does not include the audio coming in from Zoom.
Add remote participant interaction and amplification into the in-room audio
