UPDATE: Here's what Google announced today:


Original Story:Google's annual developer conference kicks off today, and as you'd expect from the company that owns YouTube, it's really easy to watch live online.

The Google I/O conference begins at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET with the main keynote followed by the developer keynote. You don't need to go anywhere else, just click play on the video below to watch a live stream of the conference:

Although the focus is on developer tools and services, there's sure to be some software and hardware announcements to get excited about over the next two days.

Top of the list has to be Android 13. The first beta of the mobile operating system was made available late last month, and Google is sure to reveal more details and give us a glimpse of the OS our smartphones will be running later this year.

As for hardware, we've recently seen a Pixel Watch prototype left in a restaurant, so don't be surprised if Google decides to make its new smartwatch official today. Will a Pixel Watch be worn by any of the keynote presenters? Keep your eyes peeled and you may spot it on a wrist half hidden under a shirt cuff.

The other piece of hardware expected to make an appearance is the Pixel 6a. After being leaked via a coloring book back in January, and then cleared by the FCC for the 5G spectrum last month, an official reveal today would be more surprising if it didn't happen.
