City of Racine Meetings Moving to YouTube for Live Streaming
The City of Racine is making an important change to how residents can watch live government meetings. Starting April 1, 2025, all City meetings previously streamed on Facebook will now be broadcast live on YouTube.
This transition is due to ongoing technical challenges with Facebook, including staff access issues and a recent announcement that the platform will no longer archive live-streamed content. Moving to YouTube ensures a more accessible and reliable experience, allowing anyone to watch without needing a social media account.
Past meeting videos will be transferred from Facebook to YouTube. Additionally, the City will continue posting meeting reminders on Facebook, directing viewers to the appropriate YouTube channels.
Residents can access live and archived meetings through the following YouTube channels:
- Main Channel (Common Council & Committee of the Whole) – https://www.youtube.com/@cityofracine
- Finance and Personnel Committee – https://www.youtube.com/@CORFP
- Public Safety and Licensing Committee – https://www.youtube.com/@CORPSL
- Public Works and Services Committee – https://www.youtube.com/@COR-PWS
This move aligns with practices in neighboring municipalities and will improve public access to City meetings. We appreciate the community’s support as we make this transition.
