IGF Session Recording Links
At first view, the Norway IGF team are to be commended for producing some of the best quality IGF video ever!
The IGF Interactive schedule is at https://intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2025-schedule
On there, there is the tab ‘IGF 2025 Live’ which includes links to UN WebTV, YouTube, and Real Time Text.
UN WebTV is covering only plenary sessions, but with translation into the 6 UN languages: https://webtv.un.org/en/search?query=IGF2025
The site can be filtered to display only recordings in a particular language, for instance ENGLISH
The YouTube links provided use an outdated address system. They should be:
Live Webcasts: https://www.youtube.com/@igf/streams
Trimmed Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/@igf/videos
The IGF secretariat have been notified, and this may soon be remedied.
Real Time Text (provided by Caption First stenos via Streamtext) is ephemeral, and may disappear once a session is over. Transcripts will be posted, after a delay, at https://intgovforum.org/en/igf-2025-transcripts
The value of Digital Watch’s DiploAI Reporting page cannot be overstated. It comprises AI-generated reports from as many sessions as practical. These include not only verbatim transcripts, summaries, and in-depth analysis, but also speaker lists which, ridiculously some might say, calibrate the number of words delivered by each speaker and the actual rate of delivery!

A remarkable achievement!
ISOC LIVE is making backup recordings of just a few sessions (e.g., GigaNet, DC-CIV), which will be posted/archived with multilingual open captions when processed: https://isoc.live/?s=igf2025
