  3. Select the source language(the langauge your speaker will speak)

  4. If on PRO plan, select the langauges you wish to run concurrent translation in (the langauge limit is the number of languages being translated to at the same time, not the number of connections. There is no limit on the number of connections)

  5. Click Start stream. LiveSunday will begin transcribing in real time and translating into any languages you've added.

  6. Keep the browser tab open and audio streaming for the duration of your service.

Keep the tab active

Your browser must stay open and the audio input active while streaming. Switching away or letting the screen lock may interrupt the stream depending on your device.

Listeners who open your link will see captions appear almost instantaneously.

Go to Caption Links tab in your dashboard, and share your link with your audience by:

  • QR code — display it on-screen before service or in the bulletin
  • Text / messaging — share the link directly in your group chat
  • Signage — print or display a short URL or QR code near seating

Attendees tap the link, see a language picker, and are immediately connected. No sign-up, no app.

Show full screen captions on a dedicated screen or display

Go to Caption Links tab in your dashboard, and scroll down to Accesibility Display:

  • Select your target lanaguage and adjust the font size to your needs
  • Open the link in the browser and press F12 to enter full screen mode
  • Scrolling Captions will start displaying as soon as you start the session

Attendees tap the link, see a language picker, and are immediately connected. No sign-up, no app.
