Thanks for this! I'm going to try it out. I've been pondering how to do a Maundy Thursday/Good Friday service that includes the online people. I had thought of doing something in the context of a meal. But that would exclude the online folks. Any suggestions?
I love this idea and loved the 24 ideas you shared with your pals! Question about the zoom during communion & other times. I like the idea and our congregation experienced a terrible zoom bombing event and so we've moved away from zoom during worship because it's difficult to monitor and prevent a hostile takeover. How do you manage that? Thanks!!!
We never share the direct zoom link in the bulletin or on the livestream but direct people to a page on our website where they can then click to join the Zoom meeting. This isn't the perfect fix but we didn't want this to have a registration form people need to fill out in order to join. And the extra page with the click to join seems to be enough to help. Also, it's a zoom meeting with waiting room and password so people can't just randomly guess the meeting ID. And lastly, I consider myself pretty Zoom saavy so I'm ready to handle anything if it were to arise. I know where that "mute all" button is if I ever need it!
So I can't take credit for this idea, it was my buddy's idea. However, I do love it so I'm sharing it. He is really interested in creating a way for people to use their phones as an "output" for what is on the screen in worship (or would be on the screen if churches don't have screens). Basically an extension of propresenter or propresenter meets mentimeter. The idea also being a way to create put links/registration forms right on their phones. Not sure how to pull it off. Wondering if it could be a web based feature, similar to mentimeter, rather than an app. Just an idea, not sure it will be implemented this year as there are a lot of things to figure out. Nonetheless, I love it and would love to hear if anybody here knows of something similar that already exists?
