For Visitors
Watch a service live or find a replay
Watch on the church's website or app while it is live, and find last week's service afterwards — plus what each message on the player means.
If your church streams its services, you can watch on its website, in the Hubl app, or on its YouTube channel or Facebook Page. You do not need an account to watch.
Watch live
1
Open the service
On the church’s website, open the service from its events or service times. While it is on, the page says LIVE NOW and the video plays at the top, with the sermon notes following along underneath when the church has added them.
2
Or use the Hubl app
Open the Watch tab. A dot on the tab shows when your church is live.
3
Turn the sound on
Some browsers start video muted. Tap the speaker icon on the player.
While the service is live you can send a reaction — Amen, Praying, Love, Joy or Praise — from the bar under the video. Everyone watching sees it float across the player.
Tip
With notifications turned on in the Hubl app, you get a “We’re live” notification when the stream starts.
Find a replay
1
Open the service's page
The same page you watch live on has a row of dates across it. Past dates are on the left, and Next Service is marked.
2
Choose the date
The page switches to that week, marked ARCHIVED SERVICE, with the replay in the player. Depending on the church, it plays from their YouTube channel or from their own recording.
Right after a service ends, the page says Thank you for worshipping with us today and tells you when the replay will be ready, about half an hour later.
What the messages mean
- Waiting for stream to go live… — it has not started yet. Leave the page open and it should start by itself. If nothing has happened a minute after the service time, reload.
- Stream has ended. — the live service is over. Look for the replay as above.
- Offline — Playing back recording — you are watching the saved recording, not the live service.
- No replay available for this service. — that week was not streamed, or the church does not keep recordings.
- Stream is unavailable. — your player could not load the video. Reload the page. If it keeps happening, try another browser or a different network.
Note
If the video keeps stopping to load, the problem is usually the connection you are watching on. Moving closer to your Wi-Fi or switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data often fixes it. If everyone is having the same trouble, the church’s team will already be working on it.
