10. How I prerecord and do live
services
• Make a powerpoint in
portrait format for
your service (if using
liturgy)
• Set up OBS, either go
live or record
• Best to record in
chunks
• Watch video on how to
do this on my Youtube

11. How I prerecord and do live
services
• Alternative is to record in Zoom and then edit
the video afterwards

12. How I prerecord and do live
services
• For prerecorded services I edit using Sony
Vegas. You might want to use iMovie, Windows
Movie Maker or free software OpenShot.
• When finished I upload to YouTube

13. What about people not online?
Telephone conferencing
• Use Whypay (or
another free telephone
conferencing service)
to create a number for
people to dial in to.
• Play the service you’ve
already created over
the phone
• Could set up Dial a
Sermon

14. How can I do all that?
