How long is tomorrow's live stream?

I don't normally watch live stream announcements (for anything, not just ESO) because they're usually mostly chatter and hype and semi-related activities with the actual announcement taking up a tiny fraction of the time. (I don't watch awards shows for the same reason).

But I am considering watching tomorrow's because I'm expecting it to be more complicated than just a new chapter announcement and something which might be easier to follow if I watch the whole presentation. But at the same time I have a lot of other things I need to do with my evening (it's my night to make dinner for one thing) so I don't really want to spend hours hanging around the computer waiting for snippets of info.

Does anyone know how long these things usually are and how far into it the actual announcement is likely to start?

    They're usually right around an hour long. Around the 45 minute mark it usually becomes apparent that they're stringing it along to cut down on Q&A segment.

    It was difficult, but I arranged it so I could leave work early to watch both the reveal and the afterparty deep dive with Gina! I’m just praying nothing messes it up!

    You're not likely to miss any info that you can't catch up on later. The only reason to watch live is if you want to discuss with other players who are also watching and get the rewards from Twitch (you can just have the stream on on your phone or PC and passively get the rewards anyway even if you're not actually present at the screen).

    Thanks everyone. :) If it's only 45 minutes I can probably watch it.

    (And yes I know it's possible to passively farm Twitch drops, but I don't care about that, I don't even have an account, I just want to know what they're doing to the game.)
    What time is the stream tomorrow?

    Don’t forget about the special code we are supposed to get close to the end of the first presentation that gives us a monkey! Ten years from now we may look back on tomorrow as our little monkey runs around behind us thinking, “We were there!” 🐵 🙈 🐒 🍌

    Edited to add: Or ten years from now, we may look back on ESO as that game we used to play! 🤣

    Twitch Chat is never an actual discussion, it's nothing but Bethesda fans asking where TES:VI is, and PvPers asking where new PvP content is.

    This is why I specifically didn't mention discussing with other players 'in twitch' :) you can live watch in discord with friends etc.

    While I hope for a significant change I sure hope it's not done in a way that turns you, or anyone else, away from the game.

    I would like to as well, but with husband in hospital, I won't be able to. I'll just have to check it out later.

    Or, in this case, 10,000 people spamming the monkey code.
