The White House live stream broadcasts all kinds of White House events, from press conferences with the President to concerts in the East Room.

To participate in a future session, stay tuned to the White House blog, Facebook page or Twitter feed for announcements, and then head to the White House Live application on Facebook during the event to submit a question.
