All roads might lead to Rome, but not all avenues provide you access to watch Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 45th president of the United States of America live this Friday, January 20, 2017. Hence, we have decided to make life easier by curating the internet to bring you the possible ways of watching Donald Trump’s inauguration live through various avenues.

Major TV networks continue to rule the airwaves for the moment, even though there has been an explosion of digital devices all over the world. The likes of FOX, ABC, CBS, and NBC will offer live streams of the inauguration on their websites as well as YouTube channels. In fact, YouTube and Twitter have also worked with different kinds of news outlets so that more than a single angle will be made available to viewers when it comes to live stream coverage.

White House Live
The White House is where the President of the US lives officially, and it is a no-brainer that the White House will send forth a live stream of the inauguration broadcast right on their official website.

NBC
NBC will kick off the live stream of the inauguration at 10 a.m. ET. The NBC live stream will be made available not only on NBCNews.com, but the same fare can be caught on NBC’s YouTube channel, on Roku, FireTV, as well as AppleTV.

CBS
CBS intends to ensure that the inauguration live stream will gain a wide degree of coverage, kicking things off from 7 a.m. ET. CBS This Morning and CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley will also air live from Washington, D.C. in order to join in on the festivities. Those who are not able to tune into the two channels at their respective time slots can always check out the live stream on CBS News’ CBSN, which happens to be a round-the-clock live stream channel of CBS. CBSN will also live stream the night’s inauguration events before that, so do keep a keen eye out for it this evening.

FOX
Fox News makes sure that you will be able to catch a live stream of the ceremony, where anchor Shepard Smith will offer on-site commentary. The live stream will kick off at 11 a.m. ET simultaneously on the Fox News website and the app. One will have to log in with one’s TV provider in order to catch Fox News’ coverage of the inauguration.

Twitter
Twitter has worked alongside PBS NewsHour, where there will be a live stream of Inauguration Day tomorrow with coverage that spans from 11 a.m. all the way to 5 p.m. ET. The live stream can be accessed here, and it does not matter whether you happen to have a Twitter account or not, you can still access it.

YouTube
YouTube will be working alongside different news outlets in order to deliver a live stream of the 2017 inauguration. The list of notable names include Telemundo, Bloomberg Politics, C-SPAN, ABC, the Washington Post, and also the White House.

USA Today
USA Today brings on the tech fanfare by offering 360-degree, virtual-reality coverage of the inauguration. This is certainly a unique perspective that might see people flock there to watch something new, compared to the regular angles that news channels have shown for years. This is made possible thanks to the “VRtually There” show, which relies on multiple VR camera angles which will be strategically placed along the inaugural parade route. USA Today’s coverage kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET, and is also viewable on their YouTube channel.

Politico
Politico has taken the relevant steps to stream the whole of President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremony on its website, so hopefully their servers are able to handle the load!.

Democracy Now!
Democracy Now! Will kick things off at 8 a.m. ET where the inauguration live stream on their site is concerned.

Take your pick as to which news outlet or channel will be able to offer the most complete and thorough coverage of Donald Trump's inauguration.
