I want to record a video stream from my church website. I do not have a file of the video. -OR- where can I get an operator's manual

Can you ask them for the file? That bypasses several problems, all in one shot.

Of course, you'll have the original quality, and not what a streaming service did to it, and it might even be better than what they sent to the streaming service.

And, you should ask them what they'll allow you to do with that file, and get that in writing if possible. This is the not-so-fun legal side of media creation and production. Anything at all that you use, that was done by someone else, is copyright infringement by default. If you have permission for *exactly* what you're *actually* doing with it, then you're good.
(and you only have to convince a Content ID bot to not take it down automatically just because it's similar, which is NOT how the law is supposed to work, but more or less *is* how it has to work when there is so much new content pouring in that it can't possibly be reviewed by humans)

That legal situation will likely prevent you from getting direct help here. Even if you personally are perfectly okay and legal and all that, someone else will see "how to break the law" and run with it. So we're not going to give that answer here.
