Here are a few sample Usage Scenarios. Pick one that works best for you, or develop your own. Not sure? . . . just ask!

FINISH THIS STATEMENT: I WANT TO…

1. have a simple audio podcast, and perhaps include a companion PDF file, available in iTunes, and have a media center embedded directly into my web site for my audience. I understand my media is also also accessible through mobile apps, and I can “cast” the media directly to a home entertainment system.

* AUDIO PODCAST, PLAYER FOR WEB SITE

2. live stream my audio (like a real-time radio broadcast), and automatically add its recording, in whole or in part, to my podcast feed and media center.

* LIVE STREAM, AND ARCHIVE THE RECORDING

3. have 1 & 2, and I would also like my own custom apps (android and apple), just for my Ministry’s content.

* CUSTOM APPS

4. have 1, 2, & 3, but with both video and audio.

* VIDEO (NOT JUST AUDIO)

5. use sermon.net as the primary and safe home-base for my media content so that it is completely under my control. Embed my Media Center directly into my website, and have no ads and no external links. However, I also want to leverage/utilize my Social Network account (Facebook), to expand my live and on-demand audience. So, I want my live and on-demand media available there as well.

* SHARE LIVE AND/OR ON-DEMAND MEDIA TO SOCIAL NETWORKS (FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ETC…)

6. do all the above, but then, after a period of time, I want to move my videos to Youtube or Vimeo for longer term storage & public access, and remove them from sermon.net. However, I will keep the audio recordings permanently accessible in my sermon.net archive for my podcast feeds, apps, and Media Centers. My audience enjoys the portability and accessibility of audio.

* LIVE STREAM AND RECORD SERVER-SIDE, THEN OFF-LOAD VIDEO FROM SERMON.NET TO YOUTUBE OR VIMEO. KEEP AUDIO AT SERMON.NET.

7. send a single Live Stream to sermon.net, but I also want to re-stream (in real-time) that broadcast to my Facebook Live or YouTube Live account. I want the best of both worlds. Access to all the features and control that sermon.net provides, but also the ability to easily broadcast and share through my Social Networks, at the same time.

* LIVE STREAM TO SERMON.NET, AND AUTOMATICALLY RE-STREAM TO FACEBOOK LIVE OR YOUTUBE LIVE IN REAL-TIME

Note: Your Media is also available within the Sermon Network portal/directory Apps. (you can opt out if desired)

Use the features you want, ignore the ones you don’t.
We will help you maximize and safeguard your audience’s online Media experience and access.

The Sermon Studio by sermon.net is your safe home-base, and media command center. Your content remains completely under your control. You can then distribute your live and on-demand media to your sites and social networks (if desired). Do not be held at the mercy of social networks or secular services. Their ads and quick/easy access to other questionable content can be potent distraction to your audience. Leverage them to expand your outreach, but use them wisely. Keep in mind, they do not share your values or mission. sermon.net is your Christian Ministry Partner.

Password Protect your Content / Playlists	To limit access to certain content, you can assign the protected content to a special Playlist that your block access by requiring a Password.
Unlimited Players and Media Centers	Copy & paste your fully mobile responsive Media Center(s) or Player(s) directly into your web sites, blogs, or social network sites.

Unlimited RSS/Podcast Feeds	Create as many unique RSS/Podcast feeds for your content as needed (each Playlist is its own RSS feed). Submit your feed(s) to iTunes or similar services.
Direct Media Links	Direct access URLs for each of your audio (.mp3), video (.mp4), document (.pdf) files, or live streams (.m3u8).
Apps	All of your content, Live & On-demand, is available within the sermon.net Apps for iOS, Android, and Roku devices. You can even create your own custom Apps just for your content, and submit the Apps to your own developer account with Apple and/or Android.
Use the Media Center as your web site	The backbone of your web site should be your media. It is dynamic content that is always being added to, and is why people will return to your site. If you are looking for a basic web presence, save money and simplify things by using your Media Center. You can add your static content to your Media Center (service times, location, staff, etc…), and you can even use your own custom domain name (instead of http://yourMinistry.sermon.net).
