How To View the Live Webcast or Archived Videos

To view the live stream, you have two options.

Option 1: Be a guest, no ustream account required.

You can view the webcast anonymously by clicking on this link. It will open a page in your default web browser (like Firefox or Windows Internet Explorer). Don't log in or set up an account, but simply type hvchurch into the search box (see picture below).

When you click on the search button, you will jump to the Highland View program page, pictured below. The BROADCASTS tab tells you if we are Off-Air or Live. Double click the picture to go to the show page. The VIDEOS tab takes you to a list of all the archived videos from past assemblies (since early 2009). The UPCOMING tab lists next scheduled events and assemblies. Watching the live broadcast anonymously (as a Guest) will show you the live assembly and let you read the comments being entered in the chat room by other ustream viewers. However, you cannot participate in chat as an anonymous guest. To do that, you need an account, described below in Option 2.

Option 2: Set Up a Free ustream Account and Log In

There is an advantage to getting a free account. Having a ustream.tv account allows you to subscribe to Highland View's program, an action which is known in ustream terminology as "Join Crowd." Once you've joined the hvchurch crowd, you can log in and chat in the chat-room, get notifications of upcoming events, and this program will show up in your ustream "crowds I'm in" list. This is similar to marking favorites or subscribing to You Tube channels or a podcast site. Here are the instructions to create an account. (Or download/print the PDF instructions).

Click this link to open a web browser (like Firefox or Windows Explorer) and jump to the ustream home page
Click on "Sign Up" in the upper right hand portion of the site (shown below).

Fill out the new account portion of the form (see picture below) and press the submit button.

Ustream account set up box

Make a note of the username and password you created so you can return in the future.
You can skip the portions of the sign-up that ask you to connect to your email, to other social networks, and to name your show. (You can change these later if you want to link to your Facebook or Twitter accounts, or to broadcast your own live program.)
Now that you have an account, you'll be able to log in on future visits. Uuse the search box to search for hvchurch. Double-click the picture or link to go to our show page.
Now that you have an account, you can click on JOIN CROWD to add the Highland View stream to your program list. It just makes it easier to find on future visits to the site.
During a live broadcast, you can chat with others who are viewing live from their accounts by going into the chat area to the right of the video. Note the picture and instructions on the photo below.
