Mansfield Public Meetings on YouTube

The Town of Mansfield is using YouTube to provide live video streams (and archive access) of many of our public meetings (primarily Town Council, Planning and Zoning, and Inland Wetlands) at https://mansfieldct.gov/video.  YouTube provides a number of key advantages:

• YouTube is compatible with the widest range of personal devices.
• This new channel can support an unlimited number of viewers.
• The stream is optimized to work for both low and high bandwidth connections.
• It provides for a higher quality video and audio experience.
• YouTube is an interface that is already very familiar to most people (it is the most widely used streaming service with over a billion hours of video viewed per day). 

This replaces our former solution (Town Hall Streams).  Town Hall Streams is still accessible for viewing past videos, but YouTube is the only way to view future meetings (live and archive) going forward. 

We encourage you to go to https://mansfieldct.gov/video and click on the link for “YouTube” to view live meetings, as well as to access recordings of prior meetings. 

While you are there, we would appreciate it if you would consider clicking the “subscribe” button (it will prompt you to log in with a Google account.) Subscribing makes it easier to access the channel in the future and helps improve our search results.
