How does live stream work?
To accommodate families and relatives unable to attend a commencement ceremony in person, we will be live streaming each ceremony on our YouTube channel.
Graduation Live Stream: https://www.okcps.org/Livestream
Live Stream Technical Support: The live stream link will redirect viewers to the live stream event at your scheduled commencement time. Before your event, viewers will be directed to the OKCPS YouTube streaming library page rather than the live stream video. In this case, please wait a few minutes and then click the live stream link again. The live stream link will also be shared on official OKCPS Facebook and Twitter accounts.
