Fairfax County offers new online streaming tool to watch Board of Supervisors meetings live or on demand.

The Department of Cable and Consumer Services, in partnership with the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, has introduced a new online streaming media solution to view Board of Supervisors meetings on demand.n

Using technology from streaming media content provider Granicus, viewers can now keyword search and navigate directly to specific Board meeting agenda items.

The video link launches a split-screen window, with video and options to the left and the meeting agenda to the right. By clicking on an individual agenda item, the video will jump to that portion of the meeting.
