For the events that don’t fit a plan.
Custom is where the big things live — large one-time and recurring events, ticketed and nonprofit galas, members-only and multisite gatherings — with extra security when the moment demands it and the reach to notify everyone the instant you go live. We host your stream on one private watch page and hand you the names of exactly who attended.
Custom is bespoke — let’s plan yours together. Smaller and standard? The free trial has you covered.
One tier, every kind of moment
Your weekly service has a rhythm. These don’t always — they’re the once-a-year, once-in-a- lifetime, and out-of-the-ordinary gatherings where getting it right really counts.
Large one-time events
Conferences, special services, and big single occasions that outgrow a weekly plan — hosted, gated, and measured for the one day it matters.
Large recurring broadcasts
A regional weekly service, a monthly network gathering, a season-long series — the same secure setup, running on a schedule, with attendance rolled up every time.
Nonprofit & fundraising galas
Banquets, giving nights, and mission events — register attendees, collect gifts through Stripe, and know exactly who joined so every thank-you goes to a real name.
Ticketed & for-profit events
Paid conferences, paid trainings, and revenue events — put it behind a paywall, collect payment at the door through Stripe, and only ticket-holders get in.
Members-only & leadership
Business meetings, elder and board sessions, class gatherings — gated to your own list so only the people you invite can watch.
Multi-campus & multisite
Send one live feed to every campus and living room at once, on one secure watch page, with attendance rolled up by name across the whole network.
Private one-time broadcasts
Funerals, weddings, and ordinations you want kept private, recorded cleanly, and shared only with the family and church.
Big seasonal peaks
Easter, Christmas Eve, and Watch Night — the services with the biggest online crowd, where headroom and a real attendee list matter most.
Locked down as tight as the moment demands
A public link is a leak — anyone can wander in, and no one leaves a name. A Custom event is yours to control, start to finish: paywalled, members-only, or invite-only, with a verified number on every seat.
You decide exactly who gets in
Gate to a verified mobile number, your member list, or a paid ticket — as tight as an invite-only board meeting or as open as a public revival. No link-forwarding to strangers, no gate-crashers.
Never floating on a public feed
Your event lives on your own private PealCast watch page — not adrift on a social platform for any stranger or algorithm to find. You host it; you control it; you can geo-restrict it to the US & Canada.
You leave with a real attendee list
Every person who watched is captured by name and verified number — ready for thank-yous, follow-up, giving receipts, and next year’s invitation. A public link leaves you nothing.
Notify the masses the moment it starts
A big or one-time event only works if people actually show up — and a calendar invite from three weeks ago won’t do it. The instant you go live, PealCast sends your whole list a one-tap alert by text, email, and push: “We’re live — join now →.”
That single, well-timed nudge is the reach advantage: for a time-sensitive gathering, reaching everyone the second the doors open is the difference between a packed house and an empty one — at any size of list.
- Text to every verified mobile — the message people open in seconds.
- Email with the one-tap watch link, ready to forward to a household.
- Browser & Planning Center push straight to your members’ Church Center app.
- No cap on who you notify — invite everyone; you only ever pay for who watches.
At the door, you can ask for…
- A verified mobile number — a real cellphone, not junk or a landline
- Payment for a ticket or a gift, processed securely through Stripe
- A few registration details — name, church, whatever you need
- Nothing at all — leave it open, if that fits the moment
Free, ticketed, or members-only — the way churches do it
Some events should be paid, some should be members-only, and some should be wide open. You choose. Collect a verified number and, when it fits, payment through Stripe — great for ticketed conferences, paid trainings, and fundraising galas alike.
It’s a warm welcome desk, not a velvet rope: enough to know who’s in the room and to cover your costs, never a wall between people and worship.
How a Custom event works
Five steps, and we walk them with you.
- 1
Point your feed at PealCast
Send us your live feed over RTMP or SRT — from the encoder or camera gear you already have, from software like OBS, or as an inbound simulcast from BoxCast, Resi, or Restream. We host it as your streaming home.
- 2
Set the gate + the security level
Choose how people get in: a verified phone number, an optional paid ticket through Stripe, member-list-only access, and any registration fields you want to collect. As tight or as open as the moment calls for.
- 3
Notify everyone the moment you start
The instant you go live, PealCast texts, emails, and pushes your whole list “We’re live — join now →,” so a one-time event actually fills up instead of playing to an empty room.
- 4
They watch on your secure page
Attendees tap the link and watch on a clean, private PealCast page — no app to install, on any phone, tablet, or computer.
- 5
You get the list + the recording
When it’s over, you have the full attendee list by name and verified number, per-person watch stats synced to Planning Center, and a recording ready to share or keep private.
One private destination — never a public feed.
PealCast hosts your event and is the sole, secure place your people watch. Your feed goes to you, your congregation, and no one else — not adrift on a social platform where the audience quietly slips away.
A plan built around you
Large, recurring, ticketed, or multisite — Custom is the tier for churches and networks with more than about 60 watchers, and for any engagement that needs its own shape.
