Faithlife provides tools for your fellowships and biblical community to live online. Customers who subscribe to both Faithlife and BoxCast are able to have BoxCast live streams appear inside the FaithlifeTV.com experience. In just a few clicks, you can configure Faithlife to integrate with your BoxCast account.
Step 1
Linking your BoxCast account on Faithlife:
Log on to your group page (or create a new group) on faithlife.com
Select the "Faithlife TV" option in the left navigation
Choose "Add" next to Live Stream
Specify an image, title, and description for how your channel will appear on FaithlifeTV.com. Make sure to select "BoxCast" as the provider.
Step 2
Faithlife needs a BoxCast Channel ID. You need to decide which channel you would like to appear on Faithlife.
If you prefer, you can create a new custom channel on BoxCast just for Faithlife. Then, only broadcasts you tag with this channel will appear here. Simply log on to the BoxCast dashboard, select Channels, and create a new channel.
Otherwise, you can use any of the other predefined channels (all broadcasts on account, one BoxCaster) or any of your existing custom channels.
To find your channel ID (a 20 character long set of letter and numbers), follow these steps:
Navigate to the "Embed" page
Select broadcasts to embed, matching what you would like to appear on Faithlife
Select "Link to BoxCast.tv" as the embed type
Notice the URL in the textarea is https://boxcast.tv/channel/{CHANNEL_ID}
Copy the last part of the URL (just the letters and numbers, not the https://boxcast.tv/channel/).
Step 3
Completing the integration:
Take your channel ID back to the Faithlife.com web site and paste it into the Channel ID text box.
Click Save to store your settings
Go back to the BoxCast dashboard and schedule a new broadcast
You can now watch all of your live streams on your personal page on Faithlife TV (e.g. https://faithlifetv.com/groups/your-group-name), or on any of the Faithlife TV apps!
