We are so grateful that our new wedding planner is allowing us to stream our ceremony for friends and family who can't come. So, I don't want to do it in FB Live- it's still a private event.
Any recommendations for what we could use that more than one person could log on and watch live? The ceremony itself is like 15-20 minutes. Mahalo!!!

Periscope looks good, but do you know if the other person has to have a smartphone? Or can they watch on an iPad or computer?

“Even without an iOS or Android device, you can still use Periscope! You can watch broadcasts on the web on desktop or mobile. To view an endless stream of popular broadcasts you can visit periscope.tv/couchmode. You can also locate a specific user's web profile. If you have an Apple TV, you can download the Periscope app through the App Store. Having trouble viewing broadcasts on the web? Make sure you have Flash installed on your computer. Also check your browser settings to make sure Flash is enabled.”

Zoom is also an option. It’s basically like Skype but lots of people can conference in to the same “meeting”.

I might be wrong - but I think you can create a private group on FB and then do the live video from there.

If not I believe youtube also allows for a live stream and only those with the link are able to view it.

As I said I DO NOT want to use FB live. Period. Many of our older family aren't on FB. This is NOT an option.
I use Zoom for conferences, it wouldn't work for this.
Seems like Periscope might be the best?
OR
maybe they don't need to see it live and we can just record it. LOL

All you said was that you didn't want FB live because it is a private event... I was simply stating an option for how to still make it private... your extreme response to my simple suggestion was a bit harsh.

Well I said that I didn't want to do FB, I didn't mean to be harsh, just saying that I said we don't want to do FB and people keep saying to do it. We are looking for suggestions outside of FB.
The private event is one of the reasons, the other is that some relatives aren't on FB.
I apologize--I'm multi-tasking and just answering quickly not intending to be harsh. I appreciate all suggestions.
