+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 streams using the watch pages or in a streaming web
+player such as [MPV](https://mpv.io). 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 [Toobnix](https://toobnix.org/c/emacsconf) (a
+Peertube instance) and [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@EmacsConf). Please check back
+here for details closer to the event.
+
+<!-- If you prefer, you can watch the livestream via Toobnix (a PeerTube
+instance): [General
+track](https://toobnix.org/w/7t9X8eXuSby8YpyEKTb4aj), [Development
+track](https://toobnix.org/w/w6K77y3bNMo8xsNuqQeCcD). Pre-recorded
+videos and replays will also be available on Toobnix in the [EmacsConf
+channel](https://toobnix.org/c/emacsconf). -->
+
+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 Q&A. 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.
+
+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.
+
+You can join IRC using <https://chat.emacsconf.org> or your favourite
+IRC client. Here are the irc.libera.chat 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.
+
+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.
+
+Pre-recorded talk videos will be available on the talk pages 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.
