Broadcaster accounts are now linked to SermonAudio User accounts. Instead of having separate login credentials for Broadcaster accounts, you will now login to the Dashboard via linked User accounts.What are User Accounts?
Starting in 2024, SermonAudio began offering free User accounts that allow site and app visitors to personalize their SermonAudio experience. This includes being able to follow broadcasters, speakers, and series. It also includes being able to bookmark sermons, save play history, and receive updates via a personalized content feed.
These free User accounts are distinct from paid Broadcaster accounts that are used to upload and publish sermons.

What does this change mean for me?
This change will vastly simplify the process of logging into your Broadcaster account(s). You will only ever need to login to your User account once. This is very welcome news to you, as an end-user, as it saves you from having to remember multiple passwords.
From our development team's standpoint, there was an enormous amount of technical gymnastics and hoop-jumping in order to get this to work. 5 months of development work and 14,250 lines of code changes to be exact!
To get things going, you will need to LINK your Broadcaster account to a User account in order to manage content in the Dashboard. If you don't have a User account, you'll need to create one before doing anything else.
In a nutshell, you are now able to do the following:
- Link a single User to a single Broadcaster account.
- Link a single User to multiple Broadcaster accounts.
- Link multiple Users to a single Broadcaster account.
To better understand how this new user-to-broadcaster linking system works, we've provided a dedicated page with illustrations and examples.
