This is our first virtual WordCamp; we\u2019ve played with the format a bit to give you the fullest experience.

Sessions will be streaming on YouTube and can be viewed embedded on the <a href=\"https:\/\/2020.asheville.wordcamp.org\/front-porch\/\">Front Porch page<\/a> or you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KLvrEvo01RA\">watch on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Back Porch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More great talks, but slightly more technical than the Front Porch.

Sessions are not streaming on YouTube &#8212; they occur in Zoom Meetings. Make sure you have the <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/download\">latest version<\/a> of the app!
