Can the stream be viewed on a mobile device (e.g. laptop, tablet or mobile phone)?
Yes, if you have internet access on your device.
What do I need to view the videos?
You will need a device running a supported operating system, a supported web browser and speakers or headphones. Using headphones can help block out white noise and provide you with a more direct feed to the audio.

I can’t access the stream. What should I do?
Council uses YouTube to stream meetings. If you are unable to access the stream when the meeting is occurring, go to the YouTube help website, here.
I can't view the stream but there is a “Video Unavailable. This video is restricted” message displayed.
This may be because “Restricted mode” is enabled on your YouTube profile. To turn the restricted mode off, follow the instructions, here.
Can I pause or stop and re-start the stream?
Yes. YouTube will allow you pause, rewind and resume your playback of the livestream.
Will I be able to watch a recording of the meeting afterwards?
The meeting will be recorded for statutory record and available on Council’s YouTube for your continued viewing, however, it will be up to Council to establish how long it will remain available for.
