XLR, TRS, TS. They all plug into something, but they don't all behave the same.

For a church or school setup, XLR is a solid default for mics and long runs, with short TS cables for guitars and keys going into DI boxes. Our guide also covers phantom power, adapter gotchas, and where each cable fits in a typical Sunday signal path.

We looked at two years of BoxCast data, January 2024 to December 2025, across roughly 10,000 organizations to see how live streaming has settled in since the pandemic surge.

A few things stood out:

- 1080p views grew 18.5% year over year while 480p fell 18.2%.
- iPhone and Android devices drove 58.2% of views, more than Windows and Mac combined.
- The typical organization streamed about 11 times a month, or roughly 3 times a week.
- The average broadcast ran about 86 minutes, and that barely moved in 24 months.

The free guide covers 8 key findings, plus a 6 point cheat sheet for planning your own live streams. If you're weighing quality settings, devices, or a streaming schedule, the numbers are worth a look.

63 cameras. That's what Fox Sports used to cover the World Series, and the coverage includes expanded specialty cameras like DirtCam. It's a fun look at how far a production team will go to put you right in the middle of the action.

Most of us aren't producing a World Series, but the idea scales. A church might add a second angle to catch the choir. A high school might put a camera low and close to the field. A city council might add a wide shot of the room alongside the podium. More angles can make a live stream feel more like being there.

We love seeing how the big productions think about this, and we're always curious what you'd borrow for your own events. Which camera angle would make the biggest difference for your live stream?

Missed our conversation with Todd Elliott? The Do's and Don'ts of Church Tech Volunteer Leadership is available to watch on demand.

Todd spent years as Technical Arts Director at Willow Creek Community Church before starting FILO, and he brings that experience to the questions every tech director wrestles with: where to find good volunteers, how to onboard them without overwhelming them, and how to build a team that sticks around. He also digs into the most common mistakes he sees and how to avoid them.

Good news if you're a municipality tracking ADA Title II captioning requirements: the deadlines moved back a year. The bad news? The standard didn't get any easier.

Entities with 50,000+ population now have until April 26, 2027. Smaller entities and special district governments have until April 26, 2028. Either way, public meeting videos still need to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, live and archived.

We broke down what's changed and what your team should be doing now: https://t.co/oOHB7SFq14

Thinking about live streaming but not sure where to start?

Here's the short version. You need a way to see it (a camera or even your phone), hear it (audio deserves real attention), and share it (a platform that fits your goals). Everything else is a topping, like pizza.

Our beginner's guide breaks it all down without the jargon: https://t.co/wnrsaqIvvA
