    I have a question regarding sermon notes... I use this section to insert a link to our livestream recording of the sermon (we have a grandfathered contract with another provider at a very low rate and can't justify switching to Faithlife's streaming service just yet). But because of the formatting characters this field uses (a forward slash disappears and italicizes the text, etc), in the Faithlife app, the link turns into nonsense text that's missing the slashes and some words get italicized. Is there a way to insert a link into the sermon notes? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed!

      Hi Mark Patey! Unfortunately, there is no way to work around the automatic formatting where you upload your sermon notes. A work around I would recommend is including the livestream link in your proclaim presentation in the notes section. Hope this helps!

    When trying to change the cover image for a sermon via sermons.faithlife.com, it hangs on "Saving ..." Tried in two different browsers with no difference. Any next steps?

      Justin Young I have requested that a colleague look into this for you. I will let you know more when I hear back as to what the issue is.

      This has been fixed for you, as well as this past Sunday's video that had gotten hung up on processing, Justin Young!

    Just wondering what others experience is with the sermon transcription service. When I have used it, the transcription is so inaccurate that it is not worth the time and effort to clean it up. If others are having success with transcriptions, I'd like to know what contributes to that success..

      What is included in the monthly subscription to Faithlife sermons. Also will my sermons be visible if say someone else signs up for the subscription also do I get a cut from that

        Are there any plans for integrations with external services? We have a great process with our current live stream provider and I would love to have that service feed into faithlife sermons. (It would involve embedding a video rather than serving it from faithlife)

          Is anyone else having problems with uploading sermons? I spent most of the day yesterday uploading content, and although the videos seem to be fine, the artwork is gone, and as of this morning, I am unable to upload new content. Thanks

            We had an issue that actually released an old version of the site which caused some issues. things should be back to normal now. If things still aren’t working for you, let us know and we can take a closer look at your specific sermons.

            Jordan Sjodin, thank you so much for the follow up and for resolving the issue. Everything looks like it has been corrected. Have a great day.

          Is it possible to link a sermon file within Logos to a presentation in proclaim on Faithlife sermon? I can publish a sermon file from Logos sermon editor to Faithlife sermon but there doesn't seem to be a way to link it to the Proclaim presentation that is published to Faithlife sermon. I know there are other ways to import sermon notes to the presentations on Faithlife sermon but the problem is the loss of formatting. I would like to keep the formatting from the published sermon on Faithlife sermon and link or insert it into the presentation that was uploaded from Proclaim. The best I've done so far is importing a .docx file into the presentation and playing with the edit function for formating. It's possible I'm overlooking something.

          Hello, group! Is there a way for an automatic post to be generated in our church group feed whenever a new sermon is posted?

          2. Michael Gamlem III (Faithlife) 8 months ago

            Hi Mark Patey, I took a look into this for you. We are actually making some improvements to this feature currently, but right now one way to guarantee a post to your group would be to do the following. 1) Save your sermon as a draft. 2) Go back and publish your sermon This should trigger a post to your group. As I said, we are making improvements to this feature. So, hopefully, in the coming weeks, this workaround will no longer be needed.

          3. Mark Patey 8 months ago

            OK, so for now it needs me to save it as a draft, then re-save as published, in order to show up in our group feed?

          4. Michael Gamlem III (Faithlife) 8 months ago

            Yes, that should get it into your group feed.

          I have a question (and I assume it's simply a setting I've not yet figured out how to change). On our Church website, we have sermons, both notes written/published from Logos, as well as audio files, uploaded via FL Sermons. The problem, though, is even though these are published as the Church and the page on the website is set to public, non-members aren't able to see them on the website. If we share a direct link via Facebook or something they're able to see/listen to the sermon. But on the Sermons page of the website, they only show up for logged-in members.

            Hello! For a given sermon, is there some way to attach an external link? We livestream our sermons to Livestream.com, and would like to link to that archived video in the sermon on Faithlife. I don't see an obvious way to do it. Also, we're not in a position to switch to Faithlife for our livestreaming. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed!

            1. Mark Patey 9 months ago

              I just tried inserting a link into the sermon notes, and that seems to work!
