Hey Proclaim users. We are co-worshiping with a new church that has given us a link to their Youtube sermon and it is not playing on Proclaim. The link is updated on the Sunday before church and it says "cannot play" when I add the link to the Webpage item I have earmarked for the sermon video. Any suggestions ? The link plays on my Chrome, on other computers.
We are up to date on all our windows updates.
We have been trying to come up with a solution on this for months.
Our workaround is to go OFF AIR, play the YouTube separately,
change our OBS scene to Camera only, Stream it on OBS with our camera "taking" a video of the screen for our on line viewers. its ugly, but it somehow works.
- Yes, bret.schmerker that is also another workaround. Timing of this is tough as the download is only available after 9am Sunday am. That means local download, then upload during our sunday morning worship practise. This does not easily work.

Hi Brenda Bruinooge, I am pondering your dilemma, I was thinking that, since the download/upload length is prohibitive, you could cut more than half of that time by checking the "Use on this computer only" checkbox. Download speeds are far faster than upload speeds with most ISPs. In most cases the download will be 5 times faster than the upload. If that is still too much, you can do all of this within OBS, this requires more than one monitor in your booth. We use this method to send our first service (that isn't live streamed) to the lobby: First: Create a "Display Capture" source in OBS Click the + in sources and choose Display Capture. The second BenQ on my list in the second screenshot is our monitor that we use for this. On Sunday morning go to the YouTube page that will be playing the video and drag that window to that monitor. When it is about to start you can make the video full screen and click play at the appropriate time. Second: I will take it for granted that you already have your Proclaim output and camera views set up in OBS. We make great use of the "Multiview" in OBS. It is found in OBS in View>Multiview and we use windowed, not full screen. We have 3 PTZOptics cameras. In our Multiview we have 3 different camera views in the top row with Proclaim slides overlaid, the next row is for lower thirds, any slide that has transparency will show the camera view with the lower thirds overlaid on that. I'm sure you get the picture. What you can do is make sure your YouTube is one of those sources, your camera is another and Proclaim output is another one. The order they appear in the Multiview is determined by the order that you have them in the Scenes in OBS. You can also set how many windows you want in Multiview in OBS Settings>General (scroll to the bottom). Third: Right click on your OBS output window and choose your projector/display that your congregation sees and everything that is being streamed/recorded by OBS will now be on that screen. Unfortunately there is a bit of latency. At that point, all that has to happen is the presentation operator change the source by clicking on the appropriate window in Multiview.- Thanks Steven Stoops. These are some good options we will look into.
