Live Audio Streaming to Phones
OneStream’s Phone Live Streaming integration automatically captures your live video’s audio. This is a one-time setup, and you can then use it every time you go live like you usually do. Your phone system will automatically get the live audio.
Add Phone Live Streaming as a custom RTMP destination in OneStream Live. This one-time step links your stream to a phone broadcast. After that, whenever you go live, your phone audience hears the audio automatically. It runs alongside your regular video streams on YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms.
In essence, it’s like having a live audio streaming app built into OneStream for phone listeners. You don’t need any extra phone broadcasting software or hardware to make it work. OneStream Live and Phone Live Streaming handle everything behind the scenes.
Auto-Dial Live Phone Notifications
Phone live streaming automatically calls your subscribers when your live stream begins. The moment you go live, your subscribers’ phones start ringing. Each subscriber gets a phone call to join the stream in real time. This process is fully automated. You no longer need to make manual calls or deal with access codes – the system handles it all for you.
It’s easy for listeners to subscribe. They call your dedicated phone number once to sign up, and their number is added to your subscriber list.
Note: Your PhoneLiveStreaming plan limits how many unique callers can dial in each month. There are also caps on how many outgoing call notifications can go out simultaneously. Make sure your subscribers turn on the live notification feature (it’s off by default). Otherwise, they won’t get the auto-dial live phone call when you stream.
Automated Recording and Playback for Phone Streams
Phone live streaming automatically records your live stream audio on its servers. This means people can call your number even after the live stream is over. They will hear a recording of your most recent broadcast. In short, callers can still enjoy your live phone content even if they missed it live.
You can also upload MP3 audio files for your audience to hear. For example, you might upload an MP3 recording of a past event. That way, callers can listen to it anytime. This playback feature ensures your phone stream always has something for listeners, even when you’re not live.
Reach Underserved Audiences with Phone Live Streaming
Not everyone has a computer or smartphone for live streams. Many people cannot join online live broadcasts due to lack of internet or technology. Globally, about one-third of the world’s population is still offline. About 20% of Americans cannot watch live streams onlinel. Phone streaming helps include all these people via a simple telephone call. No computer, data plan, or special app is required for the listener.
This technology is especially useful for community and faith groups. It can include elderly or fragile individuals who cannot use a computer. Even someone with a basic phone or landline can now listen to your stream. Many churches have embraced phone streaming to reach those who can’t attend otherwise. In fact, over 1,150 churches in North America already use phone streaming to reach their congregations. By embracing phone live streaming, you ensure no one is left out of your broadcast.
Custom Phone Greetings and Prompts
You can set a custom greeting message for callers. It’s the first thing people hear when they dial your number. You can record the greeting in your own voice. Alternatively, you can use an automated greeting that plays your name or organization. This is especially helpful if your audience speaks different languages. A tailored greeting adds a personal touch and makes the experience more welcoming for your callers.
You can change your greeting anytime via the PhoneLiveStreaming website. Update it as often as you like – for example, switch to a new message for special events or different languages. Custom prompts ensure your phone broadcast feels professional and friendly for all listeners.
