How to Share Access to Lifeway Bible Study Videos
Lifeway provides several options for sharing access to Bible study videos with your group, depending on the type of purchase and the platform features. Below are detailed instructions to help you ensure that your group members can access the resources effectively.
General Sharing Instructions
Using Sharing Links: If the resource includes a designated sharing link, you can distribute this link to your group members. Ensure that the link is only shared with your intended audience to maintain access control.
Using the "Manage Access" Feature: - Log in to your account at my.lifeway.com. - Click on your profile and select the "Manage Access" option. - Use this interface to invite others by entering their email addresses or copying a sharing link. Ensure each invitee has an active Lifeway account to accept the invitation.
Using Lifeway On Demand Platforms: You can stream videos using Lifeway's On Demand app on mobile devices, Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV. Alternatively, access the videos directly on a computer through the Lifeway website.
Sharing Access for Specific Resources
Nehemiah Study Videos: - Log in to my.lifeway.com/manage-access. - Find the "Nehemiah" videos, click on "Manage Access," and either email invites or copy the provided access link.
Elijah Video Streaming:
Individual Access Options:
Purchase video access independently of the Bible study book for flexibility.
If your Elijah workbook doesn't include a code, you can purchase access via an individual access link.
Group Access Options:
Access is licensed for settings like in-person gatherings or online platforms. To share access, log into your account at [URL] and use the "Manage Access" functionality to grant access to up to 10 people.
For groups larger than 10 people, you will need to purchase additional access licenses accordingly.
Streaming Platforms: The Elijah videos can be streamed via the Lifeway On Demand app (available on mobile devices, Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV) or the website on desktop computers.
Important Note: Once access is shared with a participant, it cannot be revoked or reassigned.
Alternative for Large Groups: To manage budgets for large groups, each member can purchase a "Bible Study Book + Streaming Video Access" package.
Entrusted Study Videos: - Sharing access is only possible if you purchased multiple copies of the video bundle. Single purchases do not permit sharing. Additional copies must be bought to share this resource.
Sharing Video Access with Book Purchases
Some books include video access codes for individuals. Here are scenarios:
If the book says "Video Access Included" on the cover, each purchaser will find an access code in the back to unlock the video sessions.
If you bought multiple books with video access but no individual codes, the videos are linked to your Lifeway account. Share access by: - Logging in at my.lifeway.com. - Selecting "Manage Access." - Entering recipients' email addresses to send invitations.
Streaming Platforms for Book Purchases: Videos included with book purchases can also be streamed using the Lifeway On Demand app or website, providing accessible viewing through multiple devices.
Gifting Video Access
If you purchased multiple copies of an eBook or digital video content, Lifeway offers a "Buy and Share" feature:
Log in to your Lifeway account.
Navigate to the "Manage Access" section.
Use the "Buy and Share" feature by entering recipients' emails or sending the specific link.
Single-copy purchases are not shareable.
Limitations and Important Notes
Sharing is restricted by the type of purchase (e.g., single-user licenses cannot be shared unless explicitly stated).
Group access is typically limited to 10 people unless additional access is purchased.
Access slots are permanent once shared and cannot be reassigned, so plan access carefully for group arrangements.
Always verify the terms of your purchase before attempting to share content to avoid misunderstandings.
By following these instructions and understanding the purchase conditions, you can effectively manage and share video resources with your group, enhancing the overall experience and accessibility.
