Vlife Media has launched a brand new streaming platform that is new and unique for churches.  From live chat to multi-bit auto detection streaming - this is a product that changes the way churches connect with people online.  This feature-rich product boasts integrated chat with multiple logins with either Twitter, Facebook, and Google to name a few.  This is all backed by a moderator feature that keeps the chatting on in check and course.  Notes are also another nice feature that help your online audience feel as though they are a part of your in house experience.  With this feature online attendees can view sermon notes that have been uploaded by the church or they can take their own notes with print and email options for future review.  It's also easy for viewers to share the live experience with their friends via a link to Facebook and Twitter.  This feature drives the live stream in front of thousands of people within new social circles that a church may have never been directly invited into.
