For 2026, we will start LIVE streaming from Asian American Resource Center (AARC) starting about 11:00 am until the conclusion 6 hours later. We will try our best to cope with sound levels, variable bandwidth, bad camera settings, battery death, operator inattention, network failures etc. etc. If the video freezes, wait awhile and refresh. We are volunteers and streaming doesn't always work, so please be patient while we make corrections. We monitor YouTube comments about sound levels etc. and @punoffatx on X for your feedback. If the stream URL changes from those below, it will be announced on @punoffatx. If live streaming fails, we record camcorder video to upload online later to YouTube. (Note: Live stream will have a 90 second delay from the real-time audience experience.)
