Sort of odd but when you first click on the link you get a video ad. I think the audio may be the same as the broadcast but I'm not sure. Even the local Catholic church live streams the Mass. They started it during covid but have refined it. I don't recognize it anymore but I'm a pre-Vatican dinosaur. You didn't have various civilians wandering around literally handing out wafers, sing alongs, and English except for the sermons and readings.
