Yes! You can connect an existing/uploaded video, live feed or simulated live feed into Altar Live. You cannot upload a video file directly to Altar Live, but you can connect an existing video from a video player such as YouTube, Facebook, or Vimeo. Uploaded (pre-recorded) videos are synchronized for all members that join the event. If someone joins your event after it has already started, they will join where everyone else is.
A live broadcast is happening in real time. Simulated live broadcasts allow you to upload a pre-recorded video and schedule it to play at a specific time as if it were a live online event. Schedule your videos through your stream provider or through Facebook, YouTube or Vimeo and connect the stream url or embed code to your Altar Live event.
