Microsoft has updated theirspecial Xbox E3 Briefing pageon the Xbox website with the show’s date and time (Sunday, June 11th, 2:00 pm PDT), a link to add the event to a calendar and direct links for where to view the livestream on YouTube, Facebook,Twitch, and Twitter and icons suggesting that it can be watched on Xbox.com and theXbox One console.

The company’s preferred method for watching their livestream though is via Beam which has been given both a large graphic on the page and a giant header saying, “Watch on Beam”. Microsoft purchased theBeam streaming servicein late-2016 and has recently integrated it into both the Xbox One software andWindows 10 devices. It makes sense that they’d want to encourage more people to use it. Whether Microsoft can get people to choose it over the other more-popular services though remains to be seen.

Which service will you be using to watch the presentation? Let us know in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
