Streaming a Regional Conference Broadcast

Is it possible to stream a Regional Conference Broadcast via a webcast to another building?

No. But the stake president can get the URL for the broadcast for the meeting house that does not have satellite. He can contact the church broadcast/webcast folks and they will provide the information needed.

Contact the Global Service Center for the link.

Is this the preferred method now rather than the streaming support email address? Or is this just for the regional stake conference broadcasts?

And does it still need to be a member of the stake presidency making the request?

Yes this email address (streamingsupport@ldschurch.org) is the preferred method of requesting the link to an event like this. And Yes it still needs to be a member of the stake presidency to request it.

We had to webcast to one of our buildings, and the picture quality was acceptable. The audio had a few seconds about four or five times where the sound volume level went low, almost inaudible, but then came back, as quickly as it went down. Did anyone else have this problem, for those that used the stream of the regional broadcast last weekend? And does anyone have suggestions?

Why are regional conferences that are streamed from SLC not made available to ward/stake members who are unable for a number of valid reasons to attend in the meetinghouses? I would think that the church would be all for making conference available to all those who are not able to attend in person, so that the messages can uplift and strengthen some of those who may need them the most.

Thanks.

Hi, We live in Northern Idaho. My wife is a shut in. How do I go about getting the URL for the upcoming Multi regional Broadcast of January 28, 2018 so that she can watch it?

You can't. That would go against the instructions (in bold) that were sent out to leaders.

This is directly off of lds.org, it might help.

I watched the broadcast today from a stake center, but I'm trying to watch one part of it again.

Who Can View From a Personal Device?
For a variety of reasons the presiding authority may choose to allow certain individuals to view a webcast event from a personal device. All events are accessed through the webcast portal, however, most events are set as "private" and require a unique event code for viewing on a personal device.

Most Mac, PC and Mobile devices should work for viewing a webcast on a personal device.
NOTE: Mobile devices are to be used for personal viewing only and not for the general congregation at a configured site.

Viewing a Private Event (using an event code):
Obtain an event code from the event manager or ecclesiastical leader.
Visit portal.ldswebcast.org and sign in with their LDS Account username and password.
Under "Find a Broadcast" (far right), enter the Event Code and click "Find."
If verified, an event link will appear below. Click on the "View Event" button.
The webcast event stream will open in the browser; it will buffer, then begin playback.

Those instructions apply to a local stake conference that is webcast to other buildings in the stake. They do not apply to a stake conference regional broadcast. Also, stake conference regional broadcasts do not use event codes.

Was this broadcast recorded?

On August 17, 2018, President Russell M. Nelson visited Hamilton, Ontario. Members from southern Ontario were encouraged to attend in person. I have been sick this year so I did not attend in person. My Bishop informed me I could watch the broadcast live on my home computer. He phoned me a few days before the event and gave me the url. He asked me not to give the url to anyone. He followed up by sending me an e-mail. I watched the broadcast. The picture quality and the sound quality were both excellent.

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but it's highly doubtful anyone here can help you. You'll have to contact your leaders.

I’m trying to watch a Stake Conference for the Boise Stake (regional) which I have before but I’m having trouble. Can you help me?

You will need to contact one of the stake leaders to get the information you need. They will let you know if the conference is even available for viewing and, if it is, they will be able to give you the information you need to watch it, if your leaders have approved that option.

This is at the discretion of the presiding authority for the conference. It would be the visiting authority, or if there is none, the stake president. Thus, having been able to see the conference in the past is no guarantee that you'll be allowed to see it this time around as the presiding authority may be different.

Even if it is allowed, if they're using the church system, the number who can view it is limited. I think the upper limit for streams is 200. And only if arraigned ahead of time.

Also, regional conferences usually come over the satellite system, and any URL is for meetinghouses without satellite systems. If it is a local stake conference, the information needed to view the webcast changes every time, as well.
