Distance is common
One home for the gathering they cannot travel to
Family often lives across cities and countries. The service happens in one room; the people who loved them are in many.
On Timeless, someone hosting the memorial can go live from their phone. Family opens the gathering and watches there. You can still paste a Zoom, Meet or other https link if that is the gathering you already planned.
How it works
Step 1
Add a gathering
Choose Live on this memorial, or add the Zoom, Meet or other link you already have.
Step 2
Share the memorial
Send the same memorial link you already use for details and tributes.
Step 3
People watch or join
When you go live, family watches on the memorial. A meeting link still opens with Join live.
What this is—and is not
Watch on the memorial
When you go live, the picture plays on the gathering. People do not leave for another app. The picture may be a few seconds behind.
A recording stays
When you end, a recording appears on the memorial when it is ready. You can watch again.
Zoom and Meet still work
If you already have a meeting link, add it. Join live opens that link in a new tab. This does not replace the tools you already trust.

Honest about how it works
Live on the memorial
A host goes live from their phone or browser. Family watches here. It is a gathering people watch—not a group video call.
Your link if you prefer
Paste a Zoom, Meet or similar https link. Join live opens it in a new tab.
Same memorial link
Details, RSVPs and the gathering live together so people are not hunting across chats.
