Unsurprisingly, the easiest way to watch the WWDC 2016 live stream is on an Apple device. If you've got a Mac, open up the Safari web browser and head to Apple's WWDC16 event webpage, which will stream live footage of the keynote.

Your Mac will need to be running OS X 10.8.5 or later, and have Safari 6.0.5 (or a newer version) installed.

Once again Apple has made it relatively straightforward for Windows users to watch the WWDC keynote, though you will need to be on Windows 10.

You will also need to use Microsoft's default web browser, Microsoft Edge, to view the live stream. If your PC meets those requirements, then just head over to the WWDC16 event webpage to watch it live.

If you have an older version of Windows, or you use Linux, then it's a bit trickier to watch WWDC 2016. Usually there is a workaround by using the versatile VLC media player.
