If auto-reporting is possible, check that you are not locked into a single or proprietary application.

Auto-reporting. Your way
Rather than locking you into a proprietary platform, we integrate with the leading worship and presentation software to enable auto-reporting via the applications you already use and love.*
*Auto-reporting can be enabled for the Church Copyright License and CCLI Streaming License. Loop Community Multitracks can be auto-reported for the CCLI Streaming Plus License.
Streaming Q&A
We want to start streaming our services. Where do we start?
We recommend reading our article Four Simple Steps to Start Streaming Worship.
We’re considering switching to the Multitracks.com Church Streaming License. Is it comparable to CCLI?
Unfortunately, no. The Multitracks.com Church Streaming License is not a direct alternative to CCLI’s licenses, and most churches will still require licensing from CCLI to be fully compliant. CCLI recognizes that it can be hard to understand the differences between license solutions. We recommend reading the full terms of ours, or any alternative provider, to make sure they will actually meet your needs.
Why do we need a Church Copyright License to get a CCLI Streaming License?
CCLI allows you to build licensing solutions that only include the permissions you need. Our streaming licenses extend the song reproduction rights provided by the Church Copyright License when you make your worship services available online.
Can we show the song lyrics when we stream our services?
Yes. Your stream can have lyrics embedded in the stream itself or it can show lyrics in the background.
Can we leave our service recordings online indefinitely?
Absolutely. Your archived stream can be accessed as long as you maintain a CCLI Streaming License.
How do we get started using tracks in our worship?
You’ll find everything you need in our article to help you get started with tracks.
Can we show videos during our online worship?
The CCLI Streaming Plus License is for audio recordings only. It permits you to play master recordings and multitracks during services that are streamed or uploaded to the internet. To include video content in your streaming activity, you would need to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s).
Do we need to display our License number during our stream?
We recommend that you include both your Church Copyright License and CCLI Streaming License numbers in the description as you begin your live-stream or upload your worship service, for example:
Used with permission. Church Copyright License Number: 12345 and CCLI Streaming License Number: 54321.
We keep getting copyright strikes, what can we do?
Your CCLI Streaming License provides permission to include authorized worship music during a service which is streamed or webcast. Unfortunately, some platforms may still issue a warning when music is played. Usually when this happens you’ll have the option to confirm that you have the appropriate copyright permission for the music played.
