About the Library
What the Library is, what's on it, and who sees which recordings.
The Library is your church's sermon archive. Every service you stream on YouTube shows up as a card with the sermon title, the Bible passage, the preacher and the date. Anyone can watch, signed in or not, so it's a page you can share with your congregation and with visitors.
Where to find it
Select Library in the menu. On a phone it's one of the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Visitors who aren't signed in see it too.
What's on the page
- Latest sermon (marker 1 on the screenshot): the most recent morning service. Watch it right there, or select Details. While a service is streaming, it says Live now instead.
- The search box (marker 2 on the screenshot): find a sermon by its title, preacher, passage, series or date.
- Recent series (marker 3 on the screenshot): the newest series. Show all (marker 4 on the screenshot) lists every series.
- Preachers (marker 5 on the screenshot): everyone who preached, most sermons first. Select one to see only their sermons.
All recordings
All recordings, under the preachers, lists every sermon, newest first, with how many there are (marker 3 on the screenshot). Each card shows its series and part (marker 1 on the screenshot), then the sermon title and passage (marker 2 on the screenshot), the preacher and the date. Select a card to watch it.
Where the recordings come from
Nobody uploads anything. Your church streams its services on YouTube as usual, and Scheduly links each stream to its service on the calendar. The title, passage and preacher come from the service's Preaching row, so the Library fills itself in as you plan your services. See How recordings get to the Library.
Who can see what
| Service | Who sees its recording |
|---|---|
| Public | Everyone, including visitors who aren't signed in. |
| Restricted | Everyone. People who aren't on the service don't see what comes from its roles (the Preaching notes and the preacher), so their card may show the YouTube title instead. |
| Private or hidden | Only the people on that service, its owner and admins. |
Who can do what
| Who | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Everyone | Watch, search, follow a series and share a link. |
