What do I need to watch Gather25?

To show the Gather25 livestream at your Gather Group, you need:

  1. To be registered for a Gather Group (Register at gather25.com/#join)
  2. Strong internet connection
  3. Device to stream the event
  4. A way to connect your device to a television

Need 1: Internet Connection

  • Best option: Network cable (fastest and most reliable)
  • Another option: WiFi (Need to know: the network name and password, where your modem and router are)

Test your internet speed on whatever device you will livestream:

  • Go to speedtest.net
  • Hit “Go”
  • Look at the download speed. You want a minimum of 5-10 Mb/sec.

You can use data from a cell service on your phone or tablet as a backup plan in case your internet is unreliable.

Need 2: A device to stream Gather25

  • Best option: Laptop
  • 2nd best option: Tablet
  • Another option: Mobile phone

Need 3: Connect your device to a TV

If you're using a laptop:

  • Best option: HDMI Cable
  • 2nd best option: VGA Cable (if you have an older TV)

*You will need an adaptor for most laptops. Google “Your computer HDMI adaptor” to find one that will work for you.

If you're using a tablet/phone: You will need an HDMI adaptor, which plugs from the HDMI cord to your charging port on your phone or tablet. The HDMI cord then plugs into your TV (This is a good option if you don’t have one!)

You can also use:

  • Chromecast
  • Apple Mirroring/AirPlay
  • Projector
