Request for Local Ward Local Broadcast Support on TV Versions of Gospel Stream

Post by runfastman »

I would like to know whether the Church has plans to add Church Account sign-in and local ward/stake broadcast access to the TV versions of Gospel Stream (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google TV).

Currently, members can sign in to the mobile app and access their local sacrament meeting broadcasts, but the TV versions do not support this functionality.

This creates a significant accessibility problem, particularly for elderly members who may not be comfortable using smartphones, casting, screen mirroring, or connecting computers to their televisions.

The purpose of publishing local broadcasts through Gospel Stream is to make them easier for members to access. However, requiring members to use a phone or computer to get the broadcast onto their television defeats much of that purpose.

Most members have a smart TV or can easily get a Roku and I can as a technology specialist help them get it set up.

Is this functionality being considered or developed? If not, is there a technical reason it cannot be supported?
