If you have access to the technology, there are two ways you can stream live video of your Alaei Day vigil and have it appear on the virtual vigil page with the other video streams that we have available.

1. Use a video enabled phone in conjunction with Qik.com.
2. Use a laptop and webcam over a broadband connection in conjunction with Ustream.tv.

It is a very good idea to test your streaming setup, to make sure you can get it to work, before you try streaming from your vigil. There may be complications, depending on your equipment, your internet connection and other factors. PHR will not be able to provide technical support.
