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. BigBlueButton doesn't seem to work under
Mozilla Firefox private browsing; please use
regular Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome,
or another browser.

**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.
