I'm looking for recommendations on a camera that can be used for live streaming - mostly for church services.

Ideally, it would be able to stream directly to YouTube - but alternatively if it can just stream to an rtmp server, I can set up a local rtmp server and then shoot that over to YouTube

But I'm having trouble finding anything - I guess I don't know what specifically to search for.

Ideally we'd like something a bit more advanced than just a cell phone. Something that can maybe be set in the back of the building and zoom to the front. But also not looking for something that is extremely expensive. Is a $200 to $1000 budget too small?

In my mind, I have something like a Canon VIXIA HF R800 - although I don't know if that specific model does YouTube or RTMP streaming.
