Hi there. We use Proclaim to present and record our sermons, and Faithlife Live Streaming for streaming the service. I love the integration with Proclaim for publishing the sermons directly to Faithlife Sermons, however there are a couple of issues that I would like to see resolved.
After publishing the audio sermon, we like to upload the video recording of the sermon for later viewing. This later viewing works well for viewing the video through Faithlife TV, however on the Faithlife Sermons website the sermon page plays back the Proclaim slides and audio video that was auto-generated, even though I have removed this from the Sermon. Since we use lower-thirds for our graphics, having a mostly black video doesn't make much sense, and having the actual video is preferred. As an example, this is the published sermon from Sunday https://sermons.faithlife.com/sermons/682646-jesus-the-prophet. If I click the play button on the sermon page it is the Proclaim 'video', but if I select the only video associated it plays the uploaded video correctly.
Second, is it possible to have the 600MB limit for video uploads within the Faithlife platform? We are able to upload 720p videos, but would like to add 1080p video which come in at around 1GB for an hour-long sermon. The platform can obviously handle the larger sizes, as our live-stream recordings are saved and play back fine.
Finally, a progress bar for uploads to the Sermons page would be handy. Currently we cannot see how far through the upload we are of the video.
Thanks in advance
Jesus the Prophet

- Thanks Bob Pritchett. We are recording the video locally through OBS, and it also sends the stream out to Faithlife. For now the request is for Faithlife Sermons to ignore the audio and slides "video" if we have uploaded another video (or if we remove the audio and slides "video" from the sermon).
- Jerome Brown we use OBS as well. What I’ve done is created a smart filter for our video sermons and after each service go in to the video saved on our Faithlife page and add that filter. Our videos play just fine off of our website then. It takes an extra 4 minutes but works well.
- Thanks Chris Pawlowski. We could do that, but the we lose the browse by series options available when we plug directly into Sermons. It’s little thing like this that have kept us from going all-in on some of the Faithlife services.
