The Live Stream Layout is designed to help reach your online audience by meeting needs and providing next steps to connect further. The layout allows you to embed your current live streaming iframe or embed code directly into the template. The Twitter feed pulls & displays tweets from a specific handle. The bottom sections utilize monklets that display the most recent sermon and event. The sections are full editable for other types of content and media.

Your implementor should have already built out the Live Stream Template for you.

 1. Locate your Live Stream Template by going to Content > Pages. If you can’t easily find the templatein the list, use the Template Filter. Here is what your Live Stream Template looks like when editing. From this location you can navigate to the rotator and bottom footer sections to begin editing. 

CONTENT: You will place the iframe or embed to your live streaming video within this field. 

HEADER IMAGE: This image will appear at the top of your page (optional).*Note: this is not your image rotator.

The Live Stream layout displays a number of custom items which are editable via the CMS. Your template contains:

Be sure to test your live streaming page before making it available on your website.

At the bottom of your Live Stream Template you have 3 sections for content. These sections can support monklets that pull in the recent sermon or event, forms, or other media. 

 By default the template comes with 3 pre-built sections:

1. Live Stream Event Highlight - This will display an event "published as featured" and assigned to the "online" group.
2. Live Stream Latest Sermon - This will display the latest sermon that is assigned to the "online" group
3. Live Stream Text Section - This is a section of text that is fully editable

Now that you’ve finished adding the content, you can place the template in the navigation so people can easily find the layout.
