On Sermon Audio, there are a number of features that make use of third-party tools and platforms. This includes the ability to cross-publish sermons to social platforms, batch upload sermons, and stream webcasts to multiple platforms simultaneously. In order to use these features, you'll need to connect your Broadcaster account directly to these platforms. This can be done from the Broadcaster Dashboard's Connection page. From here, you'll find a collection of settings, which are organized into two tabs. First, let's look at the Social Media tab. There are currently three social platforms that can connect to your Broadcaster account, which enable the use of cross-publishing and multicasting. You can learn more about these features by watching the videos linked in the description. When you connect your YouTube account, you'll be able to cross-publish and multicast to a YouTube channel. On this page, you can specify a default description, which will be included with any YouTube videos that are uploaded via cross-publish when a custom description is not specified. When you connect your Facebook account, you'll be able to cross-publish and multicast to a Facebook page. Facebook does not allow us to save a default message, but you can specify text for any Facebook posts from the Sermon Editor when you publish your sermon. Connecting to an X account will enable cross-publishing to an X profile. Next, let's look at the External Upload tab. In this tab, you'll find a set of connections that facilitate batch uploading sermons through the use of FTP or Dropbox. FTP Batch Upload makes use of FTP software to allow broadcasters to upload multiple sermons at once by transferring media files to a remote directory. Dropbox Upload uses a Dropbox account to upload multiple sermons at once and works by uploading media files that have been synced to a Dropbox folder. These external upload methods require some technical knowledge, so we've written articles that explain how to use them. You can find links to these articles in the description.
