Join the meeting

Some meetings are broadcast on our website, YouTube and cable TV. For these broadcast meetings, registered speakers will receive call-in information one hour before the meeting starts.

Other meetings are not broadcast, but held in Microsoft Teams. You can join, or call into, those meetings. Find details on how to join at the bottom of the agendas.
