Video streaming frequently asked questions

The City of Peterborough offers live streaming of all Council meetings and we archive those videos so that you can watch previous meetings. If you have any issues using this service, please see the following how-to tips that might help resolve the problem.

The video player only displays videos when a live meeting is taking place. At all other times, a black screen is visible. Once the page has loaded, it can take 5-30 seconds for the video to begin playing; please be patient as your device establishes a connection.
