Features

Everything you need to reach the people watching from home.

PealCast turns your live stream into named people, notifies them when you go live, and hands your team the weekly follow-up list — all synced to Planning Center.

The centerpiece

The Shepherd’s Report

Every week, the two lists every pastor wishes they had.

Every Monday, PealCast sends your team two short lists built from who actually showed up: the New Faces to welcome, and the ones you’ve Missed lately to check on — each with a name and a number, ready to text or call. One click to mark someone contacted, hand them to a team member, or open their Planning Center card. No spreadsheets, no guessing, nobody slipping out the back.

A real audience you can reach — not a view count

The moment someone watches, PealCast invites them to connect and captures them as a verified mobile number — a real cellphone, not junk or a landline — in your church’s own list. It’s a warm “get connected” moment, never a hard paywall. Once someone connects, a signed link keeps them recognized, so they land already-connected next time and their watch history attributes automatically.

  • Verified real mobile numbers
  • Church-native connect prompt, not a paywall
  • Your list stays yours, on every platform

Ring the bell the moment you go live

The second your service starts, every member gets a one-tap notification to watch. PealCast delivers across every channel your people actually use — no app to install: native text, email, and browser push from PealCast, plus notifications straight through Planning Center (SMS, email, and push). One person, one message, on the channel they’ll actually see.

  • Native SMS, email & browser push
  • Planning Center SMS, email & push
  • One tap to watch — nothing to download

See every soul by name — synced to Planning Center

PealCast keeps a per-person heartbeat while people watch, so you get real attendance, not a peak-viewer guess: who watched, how long, how often. Those stats write straight onto each member’s Planning Center profile, and New Faces / Drifting Watchers can auto-create Planning Center Workflow cards for your team. Your office finally sees the online congregation the way it sees the room.

  • Per-person watch time, completion & frequency
  • Written onto the member’s Planning Center profile
  • Breeze, CCB & Rock next

Reliable streaming — keep your setup

PealCast rides on top of the stream you already run. Keep your platform and your encoder, or send us RTMP/SRT and we deliver low-latency HLS to a clean watch page. Everything is auto-recorded for on-demand replay. Streaming is table stakes here — the value is everything PealCast does around it.

  • Works with your existing stream
  • Low-latency HLS + auto-recorded replays
  • No new hardware
