A simple setup path

You do not need to become an AV technician before you can start streaming. Most teams begin with a familiar device and improve the setup over time.

Four simple steps to go live

Built for everyday users, not IT technicians. Start with a compatible, tested setup and a calm operating process.

1

Create account

Sign up and configure your profile securely on Australian servers. Add staff users and set notification preferences.

2

Add your locations

Register each chapel, church, venue or operating location. Confirm the hardware and connection are ready before any booking.

3

Accept bookings

Share the appropriate funeral or event booking link, then approve bookings when your workflow requires it.

4

Go live

Open Stream Hub at the venue — or start remotely from the admin panel when the location is prepared. Monitoring and alerts support the team while the booking is live.

How setup usually works

For most operators, the flow is straightforward: choose the gear you want to use, select the booking, open Stream Hub, and start the stream.

1

Choose your camera

Use a phone, tablet, laptop webcam, USB webcam, or your existing venue camera setup.

2

Choose your microphone

Use the built-in microphone, a USB microphone, a wireless mic, or an existing venue audio feed.

3

Create or select your booking

Open the booking in Legacy Live so the stream, viewer page, and recording workflow stay connected.

4

Open Stream Hub

Check the selected camera and microphone, confirm the booking details, and make sure you are ready to go live.

5

Start streaming

Go live when the booking is ready. Legacy Live handles the public viewer workflow around the stream.

Use what you already have

The goal is not to force every venue into a complicated technical install. Many teams start successfully with gear they already know and upgrade only when it makes sense.

Common starting points

If your team already has a device with a camera and microphone, you may already be much closer to a working setup than you think.

A simple, well-run setup is usually better than a more complicated setup your team does not feel confident using yet.

What matters most

For most bookings, confidence comes from a clear microphone, a stable internet connection, a powered device, and a calm operator workflow.

Two common ways teams use Legacy Live

Legacy Live works for permanent venue setups and mobile bookings. The same platform supports funeral and event workflows without a separate subscription.

Permanent venue setup

This is a strong fit when a chapel, church, venue or hall has a regular streaming position and the team wants a repeatable process.

  • A tablet or computer stays at the venue
  • Camera and microphone stay connected and tested
  • Bookings are managed in Legacy Live
  • Stream Hub can stay ready for scheduled bookings
  • Automation features can support repeatable booking workflows

Mobile or graveside setup

This is a good fit for travelling operators, outdoor ceremonies, gravesides, churches, and temporary venues where portability matters.

  • Use a phone, tablet, or laptop
  • Connect the camera and microphone you want to use
  • Confirm the internet connection at the actual streaming position
  • Open Stream Hub and check the booking details
  • Start streaming when the booking begins
Advanced Setup

Already have professional AV equipment?

Legacy Live can also support advanced setups such as fixed venues, capture devices, mixers, dedicated cameras, and professional production workflows. When your team wants deeper guidance, the Detailed AV Setup Guide is available through Tutorials.

Start simple, then build from there

You can begin with the setup that fits your team today and improve it over time. Legacy Live is designed to make the streaming workflow feel manageable from the start, not overwhelming.
