Transcribe services from Church Online Platform from the video host behind it.
Church Online Platform shows a service whose video sits on a host your church chose, so you transcribe it by pasting that YouTube or Vimeo link, or by uploading the file: a 75-minute service returns in about 2.5 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and six 75-minute services (450 minutes) fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes.
Find the video behind the stream
The platform hosts the experience; the video lives somewhere else.
Where the video really is
Church Online Platform is the room people gather in, while the service video itself usually comes from a host your church set up. Look in the service settings for the video source. If it is YouTube or Vimeo, copy that address and paste it here. WhipScribe has no connection to the platform itself.
When the host is something else
If the source is another video service, download the original from wherever your media team keeps it, usually an MP4, and upload that. A Google Drive share link to the file works too, so a team folder of past services can be pasted rather than downloaded.
Transcribe it once
If you run the same recorded service at several times on a Sunday, the words are the same each time, so transcribe the video once. Only the chat and hosting differ between showings, and those are not part of the recording.
Six services on the smallest pack
A 75-minute service uses 75 minutes of credit, so six fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes with 50 left. A year of weekly 75-minute services is 3,900 minutes, which belongs on the $24 pack of 5,000, leaving 1,100 for a midweek study.
Online services without text
Online visitors arrive mid-week and want to read what they missed.

Each upload may be 10 hours long or 5 GB in size. Uploads up to 2 GB start before the first pack; larger files start once a pack is on the account.
