The biggest addition comes in the form of new version for the Apple TV. Viewers can now livestream sessions on the set-top box, an iPhone, or iPad. Sessions and videos from previous years are also available to view on the TV.

Along with a new design, version 5.0 also features multitasking capability on applicable iPads running iOS 9.
