Apple's World Wide Developer Conference is about to get started beginning with what will likely be a jam-packed keynote full of updates from Tim Cook and other executives.

The live stream, available here, is set to begin at 10 a.m. PT, but as Apple's streams are always a big draw (and have been known to have technical problems in the past) it's always a good idea to get your setup ready at least a few minutes before the start of the keynote.

As with previous years, Apple's live stream is limited to those watching on Safari's desktop or mobile browsers or on an Apple TV. On desktop, the video requires Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X 10.8.5 or later while on mobile it supports Safari on iOS 6.0 or later. Second and third generation Apple TV devices, with software 6.2 or later, are also supported.

If you don't use Safari, or have a compatible iOS device, you're not completely out of luck. You can switch your user agent settings, which basically "trick" websites into thinking you're using a different browser. For Chrome users, the easiest way is to install a browser extension (like this one), which automates the process, though the settings can also be changed manually. Similar add-ons are available for Firefox as well.

Unlike other Apple reveals, WWDC is a software-focused event with updates to iOS and OS X being the main focus of the two-hour keynote. As such, Cook and other executive will likely spend a good portion of the event highlighting the new features coming in iOS 9 and the next, still unnamed, version of OS X.

The company is also expected to finally reveal its new music streaming service, which may eventually replace Beats, according to previous reports. Sony CEO Doug Morris confirmed Apple's plans for a streaming platform Sunday during an interview at a music industry conference.

If watching a two-hour video stream is too much, Mashable will also be reporting live from the event in San Francisco, so be sure to follow our live blog for all the latest updates and analysis.
