+EmacsConf 2024 will be on **Dec 7** (Sat) and **Dec 8** (Sun), 2024 from
+9am-5pm Toronto/EST time (US/Eastern); equivalently, 6am-3pm PST,
+2pm-10pm UTC, 3pm-11pm Zurich/CET, 7:30pm-4:30am(next-day) India/IST,
+10pm-6am GMT+8.
+
+You can view the live conference streams in a
+streaming web player such as [MPV](https://mpv.io)
+or via the watch pages in the table above. If you
+need to reverse the video for easier viewing (ex:
+turning dark mode into light mode), try a command
+like `mpv --vf=negate URL`.
+
+If you experience any disruptions (including weird audio), try waiting
+a minute or two and then reloading the page you're using to watch the
+video. If that still doesn't work, please check our status page at
+<https://status.emacsconf.org> for updates on the status of various
+parts of our infrastructure, and instructions on how to get in touch
+with us about disruptions.
+
+We will also try to rebroadcast on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@EmacsConf).

+(Unfortunately, we're running into issues livestreaming to Toobnix/PeerTube.)
+
+To participate in the Q&A, please check the [[talks]] index for a link
+to the talk page, and [[read these Q&A tips|qa]]. The talk page will
+have the Q&A details, including the Etherpad link, IRC channel, and
+optionally a BigBlueButton room (BBB) for live Q&A via web conference. 
+
+**BigBlueButton web conference** (Javascript
+required): If you plan to participate in Q&A in
+the BigBlueButton room, please use headphones or
+earphones in order to minimize audio feedback. The
+link on the talk page will take you to a waiting
+room that will automatically refresh when the host
+has opened the Q&A. If you are having a hard time
+joining or participating, you may need to switch
+to Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, or Google Chrome.
+Please let us know in #emacsconf-org in case we
+can help you troubleshoot.
+
+**Etherpad** (Javascript required): The Etherpad for general EmacsConf
+discussions is at
+<https://pad.emacsconf.org/2024>. The schedule and
+the talk pages link to the Etherpads for the
+specific talk. Please feel free to add notes and
+questions to the Etherpad. 
+
+**IRC**: You can join IRC using
+<https://chat.emacsconf.org> (Javascript required)
+or your favourite IRC client (no Javascript
+required). Here are the irc.libera.chat:6697 IRC
+channels that we'll be using this year:
+
+- \#emacsconf-gen: discussion for the General track
+- \#emacsconf-dev: discussion for the development track
+- \#emacsconf: hallway conversations, other general conversations
+- \#emacsconf-org: if you need to get in touch with the organizers
+
+You can use the `/JOIN` command in an IRC client to join a different
+channel. Ex: `/join #emacsconf-org` if you want to talk to the
+organizers.
+
+**Without Javascript**: If you prefer to avoid
+Javascript, you can still ask your questions via
+IRC in the relevant track channel (\#emacsconf-gen
+or \#emacsconf-dev). Volunteers will read your
+questions out loud during sessions with
+web-conference Q&As or copy them into the Etherpad
+for you. If we miss your question because the
+discussion is very busy, we'll catch it afterwards
+and send it to the speaker.
+
+**Videos**: Pre-recorded talk videos will be
+available on the talk pages and [on YouTube](https://youtube.com/@EmacsConf) after the talks go
+live, and other videos (including Q&A) will also
+be added to the talk pages once we process them.
+(Probably by January.) You can subscribe to
+`emacsconf-discuss` for updates:
+<https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss>
+
+**Accessibility:** Pre-recorded talks will be streamed with open
+captions, and the transcripts will be posted to the talk pages as
+well. If you have any accessibility requests, please join the
+[#emacsconf-org](https://chat.emacsconf.org/?join=emacsconf-org) and
+let us know, or e-mail <emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org> to reach the
+organizers.
