MEETINGS
Velocity5.0

Live video streaming platform for broadcasting live events

BoxCast teaches churches to stream better with gear they already own — and ships nothing here.

live-streamingchurch-techseo-contentav-productionno-release-signal
Current state
BoxCast's feed is production education for the church and ministry market, not a changelog. The recent run covers improving a stream without new equipment, which streaming analytics are worth tracking, remote audio mixing, and what a full cache means on an encoder. It is written for volunteer-staffed AV teams, and the technical posts go deep enough to be genuinely useful.
Where it's heading
The emphasis is shifting toward getting more out of existing hardware — remote mixing without a second board, better output without a new camera — which speaks to budget-constrained buyers rather than upgrade cycles. Analytics is emerging as a second thread, framed around hybrid attendance rather than viewer counts. Posting is roughly weekly and none of it dates a platform change.
Prediction
Expect continued volunteer-enablement and audio content, with analytics guidance growing as churches try to read hybrid attendance. Nothing here indicates what BoxCast is changing in the product itself.
