EmacsConf 2026: Development track


Watch - Pad and Q&A links - Chat - Schedule | Tracks: General - Development | Tips for watching/participating
For better performance, we recommend watching https://live0.emacsconf.org/dev.webm using a streaming media player. Examples: If you have limited bandwidth, you can watch the low-res stream https://live0.emacsconf.org/dev-480p.webm. If you don't have a streaming media player, you might be able to watch using the player below. (Google Chrome seems to be having issues; Mozilla Firefox might work better. If watching from a phone, Google Chrome seems to work there, or download VLC from your phone's app store and use the URLs like https://live0.emacsconf.org/dev.webm .)
