What Cecula Stream is
Cecula Stream is a cloud-based 24/7 internet TV platform for churches, schools, businesses and broadcasters. It schedules playlists into time belts for continuous playout without physical servers. Churches can upload MP4, MOV and AVI sermon files, organize playlists and assign them to 24-hour schedules. Live feeds from OBS Studio, vMix or a mobile phone can switch sources in the cloud; a live service overrides the playlist and the channel returns to scheduled programming afterward. Services are recorded server-side for replay and on-demand viewing. A scrolling ticker updates from a phone or browser console, while dashboards can insert promos, announcements or sponsorship clips. The church offering includes website embedding, viewer chat, custom branding, multi-user roles and assistance with encoders, volunteer training and bulk media onboarding. Plans provide HTTPS streaming, 25GB to 80GB storage and viewer limits from 100 to unlimited. Starter costs 50,000 NGN a month, Growing 80000.00 NGN and Unlimited 120000.00 NGN.
