I hope it wil be captioned in real time? FCC is a federal agency and required to provide accessibility – especially that that agency also makes laws to make information accessible.

Anticipating your comment I have already written to Susan asking her to confirm that it will be. Since accessibility is one of the topics under discussion, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t!.

Susan has confirmed that the webcast will be captioned live.

Watching it now (live). Is there any way to record and/or download it?

There are programs, like Camtasia, to record live off the screen. My own trick is to use the screen capture in the procaster webcasting software to relay to a livestream channel, that makes a back up copy on one’s pc . That is free, but takes a little setting up.and some bandwidth. . It does look like the FCC will offer an archive on their site, but it may take a little while.
