Q: What is the Sermon Media Player?
A: The Sermon Media Player is a built in media player that embeds directly on your website, and was designed specifically for churches and ministries. It doesn't require your listeners to download any software or click any links that take them to another site. You can upload as much as you’d like, in fact we encourage you to upload your complete library!

Solutions for Your Ministry
In addition to delivery of audio, video, and sermon notes, Sermon Studio has many other uses. Here are just a few of the uses we have heard about from ministry leaders using the system.
Broadcast weekly messages from your web site, or podcast.
Clients have found that embedding their player into multiple sites increases their audience. Many pastors are now taking advantage of this easy to install player system to reach a broader segment of their target audience. To get the podcast people simply click on the podcast button in the bottom of the player then auto subscribe to the iTunes feed - it is that simple.
Unique Players for each ministry Department
Pastors have voiced the need for each ministry department within their church to have a player embedded on their web page. With the unique player code now every ministry department within a church can have its own player.
Interchurch training
Many pastors were spending extra evenings at the church to deliver classes either to their staff members or church membership. There are now reports of pastors recording these teaching sessions and their congregants participating online.
Real Time Reports from the Mission Field
Many churches are now equipping their church sponsored missionary with a Sermon Media Player. The missionary can then send back updates from the field via podcast or the ministry web site.
Military personnel or traveling members
Shut-ins, travelers, and military personnel are participating in their local church by accessing the Sermon Player from any location worldwide.
Small Groups
Many times finding material for a small group can be difficult. Now a small group leader can teach directly from the Senior Pastors Sunday sermon by playing a portion of the Sermon pausing for in-depth discussion and then playing again.
