Windows Central’s October 2, 2026 report links to the listing and describes it as a public stream; it does not report a ticket or fee.
Windows Central reported the listing and viewing details on October 2, five days before the event. Dr. Windows also reported that Microsoft planned an official YouTube livestream. The stream listing could not be independently opened for this guide, so these details are based on those reports.
