iSing is a subscription service we pay for to provide pre-recorded music that is licensed for use in church and on our livestream. Start iSing using its icon in the taskbar. To learn how to use iSing, see Using iSing.

We use OBS to record and livestream services. It mixes multiple audio and video sources into a final output, and also controls our PTZ camera.
