Reporting Online Worship Guidelines

Count online participants separate from in person worship. If you have in person worship that is also streamed, enter two counts for that service, those in the building and then those online. It is recommended that you count views within 24 hours of the broadcast. Given that online worship is often an entry point or initial connection for stewardship as well, it is also recommended that you track online donations (“giving units”) separately from standard pledging units. Going forward this information will provide helpful financial trend data for congregations, dioceses, and the whole Church.  For Zoom, count participant devices that are logged in.   For more information about how to count Zoom participants, click here.  For Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, and YouTube, count views (longer than one minute) by device.   Instructions on how to count participates on the platforms can be foudn here: Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, and YouTube.
