Gospel Stream Mobile and OTT App

The Gospel Stream app has replaced the Latter-day Saints Channel app. We’ve taken the best features and content and incorporated them into this new app. While you’ll still be able to find broadcasts and inspiring video content, we did have to remove some features. For example, you can find podcasts in the Media Library on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Radio has been reduced from three channels to one music channel that will also play key broadcasts.

Podcasts

The Gospel Stream app has replaced the Gospel Media app. We’ve taken the best features and content and incorporated them into this new app. You’ll find a more focused library of videos in the Categories section, and we’ve kept the download feature so you can show videos with confidence when your internet connection is unreliable. The full video, image, and audio libraries will still be available in the Media Library on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

The Gospel Stream app has all broadcasts from Church headquarters in Salt Lake City. This includes general conference, devotionals, and more.

You can also find and watch area broadcasts as they are available to you in your area. And you will be able to find links to your ward and stake broadcasts on mobile devices if your local leaders have allowed all members of the congregation to have access and if your unit uses Zoom to broadcast.

You will need to sign in to see local and area broadcasts.

Local events can be managed at Meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Leaders can now create secure links for viewing ward or stake meeting broadcasts through the Gospel Stream mobile app and online at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. These links adhere to local and Church-wide privacy guidelines and allow easy management of ad-free broadcasts, accessible to all ward or stake members or specific individuals within or outside your unit.

Instructions to Publish Webinars to Gospel Stream and Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org:

1. Log in to your Church-provided Zoom account.
2. Create a webinar (single or recurring) for your ward or stake meetings.
3. Log in to Meet.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
4. Under Events, click “Manage” and select your unit. Webinars you create in Zoom automatically appear here.
5. Choose to publish or remove the webinars for your congregation. The events you publish appear on both Gospel Stream and Broadcasts.ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.

· To publish links for single webinars, select “Publish.”
· To publish links for recurring meetings, select “Publish All Occurrences.”
· To remove webinars from Gospel Stream and Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, select “Unpublish”

6. Members can access published webinars by logging in to the Gospel Stream app or Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

· To share events with individuals outside of your unit, use the automatically generated event code. Guests can view the event by entering the code at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

· For private events that you do not wish to appear on Gospel Stream, such as funerals, keep the publish toggle off and share the event code with specific individuals. Guests can view the private event by entering the event code at Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

If you would prefer to limit link availability to select individuals instead of your entire congregation, you may still distribute Zoom links directly to those who need them without publishing your links on Meet.ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.

Please consult the General Handbook (section 29.7) as you determine how best to meet the needs of your congregation.

People in the following callings can manage events:

· Mission presidents
· Stake and district presidencies
· Bishoprics and branch presidencies (including executive secretary and clerk)
· Members of Stake and Ward Councils, Mission, Stake, District, Ward, and Branch Technology Specialists

When signed in using your Church Account and if your local leaders have granted permission, you will have access to links to your local broadcasts. These broadcasts also need to be hosted on Church-provided Zoom accounts. Due to technical limitations, you will not be able to watch your broadcast in the Gospel Stream app but will be able to access links to view it through the Zoom application.

While not labeled “Gospel Stream,” the same content can be found in the Media Library on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Here are links to the broadcasts and videos on the web:

There could be a lot of reasons the broadcast stopped playing. There could be an issue with the broadcast or an interruption in your internet connection. Try closing the broadcast video player and playing the broadcast again. For additional help, see this “Troubleshoot Streaming Issues” article.

Some broadcasts like sacrament meetings, Music & The Spoken Word, and certain area broadcasts are not available after the live event is over. It may be that you clicked the notification after the event ended and the event is no longer available.

Some broadcasts like sacrament meetings and certain area broadcasts are not available after the live event is over. It may be that the event you are looking for was not recorded. When a video will not be recorded, you will see on the event a message that says, “Video will not be available after the event.”

If you don’t see your local events when you sign in, your local leader (bishopric or technology specialist) has likely restricted access to the broadcast. Or they may not be using an approved Zoom account. Contact your local leader for the access code to view the broadcast.

Additionally, if you are trying to find your sacrament meeting on a TV or OTT device (Roku, Google TV, Apple TV, and so on), they are not available at this time. Sacrament meeting broadcasts are only available on mobile versions of the Gospel Stream app.

The Gospel Stream app is currently available in the following languages:
