The House of Keys will begin live-streaming its public sittings from next week, Speaker David Ashford has confirmed.
New cameras have been installed around the chamber, with a test recording of this week's sitting which took place on Tuesday.
Mr Ashford told members the move would allow the public to watch proceedings online, rather than having to rely on the existing audio stream.
He said: ‘I've authorised the secretary to the house to film and video stream all of our public proceedings commencing next week's sitting.
‘That means we're not live streaming today, but as part of our testing ahead of next week's go-live date, we will be making a video recording of this sitting.’
The recording will be used to test the system ahead of its launch.
The introduction of live video follows a report by Isle of Man Today last month that the Clerk of Tynwald's Office intended to introduce streaming across all public proceedings in the island's three parliamentary chambers.
At the time, Mr Ashford said technology had been tested in the Legislative Council chamber over the previous 12 months, but work was still needed in the House of Keys and Tynwald chambers.
Public proceedings of parliamentary committees have been streamed since October 2024, while hustings during the election of Members of the Legislative Council were also broadcast in March 2025.
The House of Keys currently makes its proceedings available to follow live through audio on the Tynwald website.
The move will give the public another way to follow debates and decisions made by elected representatives.
The Chief Minister hustings debate in October, which was live-streamed, attracted more than 4,000 viewers.
Mr Ashford said the recording of Tuesday's sitting would help ensure the system was ready for the first live broadcast next week.
