# YouTube Live becomes an on-demand sermon

Churches that stream with YouTube Live can now turn a finished service into an
on-demand sermon without copying a recording URL back into TheFaithApp.

In **Streaming**, save the YouTube Live video ID, choose the sermon category
under **Automatic on-demand archive**, and click **Enable YouTube archive**.
TheFaithApp checks the broadcast after it ends and creates the sermon only when
YouTube says the recording is processed and playable.

## The recording keeps its useful details

The new sermon uses the YouTube title, description, duration, and best available
thumbnail. The livestream is marked inactive and linked to that sermon. Repeat
checks do not create duplicate sermons.

## No new church credentials

The connection reuses TheFaithApp's existing YouTube API integration. Churches
do not enter a YouTube password or copy a webhook secret. Other streaming
providers can continue using the signed recording-ready webhook.

If YouTube is still processing the recording, TheFaithApp waits and checks
again. A rejected recording is shown as a failed archive event instead of
creating a broken sermon.
