How to access webcasts of EBC services
Last updated 3rd April 2020
We are using Live Events from Microsoft Teams to live stream Sunday morning services from Eastleigh Baptist Church during the Coronavirus response.
You can watch the services on either a PC, a Mac, an Android phone or an iPhone.
In all cases, you will need to navigate to this page on your device and click this link HERE Note that the web address behind this link will change every week so please remember to revisit this page. Also note that the link will only work when the service is running - it's a live stream, not a recorded video. "Doors open" (ie event goes live) just after 10:00 on the Sunday and the service starts properly at 10:30.
Note, that if you want to test your set up before the event, there will be a test event running on Saturday 4th April. To access the events, click on a time below at a time in that 30 minute window:
19:00-19:30
If you really get stuck please use the contact page on this website and send us a message. We'll try to get back to you quickly if an event is running.
