Scope agreed in writing. People at every step.

“FOMC press conference”, “fomc press conference live”, “fomc meeting today live”, “fed press conference”, “fed live press conference” and “fed press conference live” all look for one thing: the Federal Reserve's own record for a specific meeting. This post shows where that record is.

Start at the meeting calendar

The official FOMC calendar lists every scheduled meeting with links to the policy statement, the implementation note, the meeting's press-conference page, projection materials and, three weeks later, the minutes. Check the date and the published time on that meeting's own entry; do not substitute a previous meeting's replay. The committee's meeting dates for the following year are published in advance and marked as tentative until confirmed.

The transcript is the citation

Each FOMC press-conference page links an official transcript PDF published by the Board, so the words can be read and quoted directly instead of reconstructed from a video. Minutes of the meeting itself are a separate, later record. The Board's own live player is served by a different video platform, not YouTube, so for an embeddable recording use the channel's published upload of the meeting press conference.

Recording of the FOMC press conference published by the Federal Reserve on its official YouTube channel. Check the meeting page for the matching statement and transcript.

The searches people use, and how to verify each

  • “fomc press conference”, “fomc press conference live”: open the calendar and follow the link for that exact meeting.
  • “fed live press conference”, “fed press conference live”: the meeting-specific page carries the video and the statement; a live search result may still be a replay of the previous meeting.
  • “fomc meeting today live”: confirm the meeting date and the announced time, then use the meeting page rather than a third-party player.

Editorial scope

This is a navigation guide, not financial advice, a live player or a forecast of the next policy decision. The Board publishes contact details for media enquiries; it does not publish a registration requirement for its press conferences. Official pages were checked on 4 November 2026.
