How to watch if you're a part of Apple's ecosystem
Watching the live stream of the event is pretty easy for those in Apple's ecosystem. If you own an Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, the keynote can be streamed by visiting 'Apple Events' website on Safari browser or by downloading the WWDC app from the App Store. Apple TV owners, on the other hand, can directly tune in on the Apple Events app.
Other platforms
Streaming for other platforms
For other platforms, you need to visit the same 'Apple events' website. However, Apple recommends that Windows 10 users should tune in on the website via Microsoft Edge for best experience. Meanwhile, those on Android should use the latest version of Mozilla or Google Chrome with support for MSE, H.264, and AAC. The site may not work on older versions.
