This post is based on "The Ultimate Guide to Winning the Sports Streaming Game." If you’re interested in learning more about live video streaming your games and how it can help engage fans in a new and exciting way, download the free guide.
Let's face it: even the most loyal sports fan can't make it to every game. The logisitical nightmares of away games, jobs and other commitments can keep us out of the stands.
The good news is that your fans don't have to miss one more dunk, touchdown or goal. Live video streaming brings the games to your fans, wherever they are.
As you start researching your options for live video streaming, it's important to understand all the costs associated with the solution that is right for you. Below are three elements of streaming that can affect cost, expanded on in The Ultimate Guide to Winning the Sports Streaming Game.

This post covers best practices and advice for lighting in your church or ministry. It's part of our series on church live streaming.
How much easier would video streaming be if those watching at home could easily overlook murky audio, poor camera angles and insufficient lighting?
But they don’t.
