Stream your Sunday service without a Sunday-morning emergency.
Your Saturday-trained volunteer team can run TRaX from a Chromebook. Multi-camera, lyrics + slides in the canvas, simultaneous Facebook (congregation) + YouTube (archive) + your church website embed. No Blackmagic + ATEM Mini stack to maintain, no encoder appliance to replace, no 8 AM "the box won’t boot" phone call.
Built for the worship workflow
Volunteers learn it in one rehearsal
Browser-based, no hardware mixer. A volunteer who can use Google Slides can run TRaX. New tech team member up to speed in one Saturday rehearsal, not a six-week training arc.
Multi-destination out of the box
Facebook for the congregation, YouTube for the archive, Vimeo for the missions team, custom RTMP for the church website embed. One service, every audience.
Lyrics + slides + camera in one canvas
ProPresenter / EasyWorship slides as a screen-share into the canvas alongside the camera. No NDI bridge to maintain. Lower thirds for the announcement segment.
Pricing that fits a small church
Per-input + per-output, not a hardware contract. A single-camera Sunday-only church pays for that workload, not for the multi-campus tier.
Why church tech teams pick TRaX
Most church streaming setups are a hardware stack of Blackmagic cameras + ATEM Mini + an encoder box + a separate computer for ProPresenter, plus a volunteer team trying to keep all of it alive on a Sunday morning. TRaX replaces the encoder + the multi-platform router + the volunteer-training-hell pipeline with a browser studio that a volunteer can learn in a rehearsal.
- No hardware appliance to maintain. When it breaks, you reload a browser tab, not a workflow
- Multi-campus ready when you grow: same studio per campus, same operator console
- Recording archive every Sunday, with sermons landing in Vimeo / your storage automatically
What a Sunday service runs at
A church stream is run by volunteers, on a schedule that does not move, for a congregation at home who will tell you immediately when it breaks. These settings favour reliability over specification.
- Program canvas
- 1080p30
- A platform wide and a lectern shot are low-motion. Thirty frames and roughly six megabits sit far more comfortably on a church building’s connection, which is usually a single business line shared with the office.
- Camera in
- Booth camera over SRT, or straight from the browser
- A church with an encoder in the booth publishes over SRT with retransmission; a church with a laptop and a webcam publishes from the browser. Neither route requires buying an appliance for the purpose.
- Lyrics and slides
- A browser source on the canvas
- Presentation software already runs on a machine in the booth, and placing its output on the scene means the stream carries the same lyric slide the room is reading, at the same moment.
- Audio
- Board feed from the desk, not a camera mic
- The single biggest quality difference in any worship stream is taking sound from front-of-house rather than from a camera at the back of the room. Everything else is a refinement on top of that one decision.
- Destinations
- Facebook, YouTube and the church website at once
- All three take the same program from one encode, so the member watching on Facebook and the visitor who found the church site are seeing an identical service.
Programs run at 1080p as standard, and up to 1440p when every destination you have enabled can accept it — the canvas is clamped to the least capable one in the set.

A typical Sunday on TRaX
- 1
Saturday rehearsal
Build the service scenes once: welcome, worship set, sermon, announcements. Reuse every week.
- 2
Sunday pre-service
Tech team opens the studio 30 minutes before. Camera + slide share + brand graphics already wired.
- 3
Service starts
Switch between cameras, slides, and the worship-set scene as the order of service runs. One operator from a laptop.
- 4
Auto-archive
YouTube archives the public stream. Vimeo / your storage gets the recording for the missions team and the on-demand sermon page.
What a volunteer team should know in advance
Three things that are far easier to settle on a Tuesday than to discover at 10:25 on a Sunday.
4K is not switched on
The output ladder understands it and the platform does not deliver it today. A church that has just bought 4K cameras should still use them — the downscale genuinely improves the 1080p picture — but the stream itself is not 4K, and the person who signed the cheque deserves to be told that plainly.
The streaming licence is separate from the one you already have
A copyright licence covering songs sung in the building does not automatically cover transmitting them online, and the streaming endorsement is usually a different product with its own reporting. Check what your church actually holds before the first service goes out, not after a platform flags it.
Design it so the rota cannot get it wrong
Whoever is on the desk this week may not have been on it for a month. Save the settings once, leave one button to press, and write the three steps on a card taped to the booth. A volunteer-run stream fails at handover far more often than it fails technically.
