Resi is a livestreaming and on-demand video platform that churches use when a Sunday service has to reach people at home, at another campus, and on social without the stream taking over the hour. It is built around Resi's patented Resilient Streaming Protocol (RSP), and it also serves education, government, events, and other organizations.^1
RSP verifies every frame before it reaches the cloud and keeps a local buffer of up to 30 minutes, re-sending data until the cloud confirms receipt, so a dropped connection does not have to mean a dropped service.^1 A team schedules a broadcast once and Resi automates the start, stop, transcoding, and archive, then delivers the same event to its own website player, Facebook, YouTube, RTMP destinations, and OTT apps.^1 Churches run it through Resi hardware encoders or the ProPresenter Stream software encoder, keep finished broadcasts in Resi On Demand, and can host them on a branded, ad-free Media Site.^1 Studio AI, an add-on inside Resi Studio, turns a long service into vertical clips, editable transcripts, discussion questions, and social-ready posts.^4 Support is available seven days a week, and plans are subscription-based with nonprofit pricing.^5
The company began as Living As One, founded in 2016 to fix a problem for its founders' own church, whose livestream between campuses kept hitting quality problems.^6 Cofounder and CEO Paul Martel had worked on broadcasts at Hewlett-Packard while helping his church with A/V, and built the new system after public internet connections proved too unreliable for campus streaming.^7 Living As One rebranded as Resi on August 18, 2020, short for Resilient, and Pushpay announced it would acquire Resi Media in August 2021.^6 In August 2026, Midwich became Resi's U.S. distribution partner.^9
"Our internet went down for 16 minutes today, but thanks to you guys, once it was back up it literally picked up as if nothing happened." - Chad Vegas, Transformation Church Tech Director^2
