0:00A stationary camera shows the street outside court, with pedestrians passing and press conversations audible.

12:07Off-camera journalists discuss court procedures and the timing of the jury's verdict.

Photographers check their cameras as pedestrians pass a stationary camera outside Southwark Crown Court. Daily Record's livestream is titled "LIVE | Russell Brand arrives at court as jury prepare verdict", but its opening section shows the press waiting, with Brand not visible.

Background conversations are audible as journalists discuss court procedures and the timing of a verdict. This is an exterior live feed, not footage of proceedings inside the courtroom. Some viewers ask whether the jury has reached a decision; others point out how clearly the surrounding conversations can be heard.

The broadcast drew around 18,000 views in its first six hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's longer livestreams.

A separate Daily Record broadcast, "LIVE | Russell Brand found GUILTY at Southwark Crown Court", also attracted an unusually large audience. Its description reports that Brand was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. That upload is likewise a live shot outside the court, rather than footage of the jury delivering its verdict.
