Watch the European Commission Live: Briefings and Press Conferences
This player shows the European Commission YouTube channel when it is live. If nothing is streaming, it may say the video is unavailable, so use the official link below.
What Is This Feed?
The European Commission is the EU's executive arm, proposing laws and carrying out policy for 27 member countries. Its audiovisual service, including Europe by Satellite (EbS), provides coverage of briefings and press conferences.
When Can I Watch?
Commission spokespeople commonly brief reporters on weekdays around midday, Brussels time. Viewers in the United States should look in the morning. Press conferences with commissioners are added around major announcements. Schedules change, so confirm on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
The EU is sometimes criticized as remote from its citizens. Regular, public briefings give journalists from many countries a chance to ask direct questions, and anyone can listen in.
