Xiaomi presentations are not just announcements of new gadgets, but whole shows with demonstrations of technology, benchmark tests and exclusive announcements. However, finding a record or live stream of such events can be difficult: official sources often delete old videos, and alternative platforms spread content across the Internet. If you missed a live stream or want to revise the presentation of a particular model (for example, Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Redmi Note 13 Pro+), this guide will help you understand all the nuances.
We analyzed 5 proven ways to access Xiaomi presentations, from official channels to obscure archives, and collected tips for finding records for legacy models (2018-2022). We focused on problems with geo-blocking, subtitles and video quality, which often spoil the viewing experience. At the end of the article, you will find a table with direct links to recent presentations and answers to frequent questions.
Official sources: where Xiaomi publishes presentations
Xiaomi traditionally broadcasts presentations on three major platforms, but each has its own limitations, such as YouTube often blocks access for users from certain regions, and Weibo (China’s equivalent of Twitter) can have no translations.
- 📺 Xiaomi Global YouTube is a major source for international audiences, where they post English-language posts but sometimes remove old videos (e.g. presentations 2020-2021.).
- 🌐 Official mi.com site - in the "Events" or "News" section, you can find announcements of upcoming broadcasts and links to them.
- 🇨🇳 Weibo and Douyin (TikTok China) - where they post the latest presentations in Chinese, often with exclusive details. VPN.
- 📱 Mi Community app – sometimes short clippings from presentations are posted, but full versions are rare.
It is important to consider that Xiaomi divides presentations into global (for the international market) and Chinese (for the local audience only), the latter usually contain more technical details, but without translation. If you want a presentation of a particular model (for example, POCO F6 Pro), first check what region it is intended for.
How to find a presentation on YouTube: search tricks
YouTube is the most convenient way to watch a Xiaomi presentation, but there are a few pitfalls here. First, Xiaomi Global's channel doesn't always save old videos. Second, a search by model name (e.g., "Xiaomi 13T Pro Presentation") can produce dozens of unnecessary videos. To quickly find the right record, use these techniques:
- Add to the query the year of the model release: Xiaomi 12S Ultra presentation 2022.
- Use YouTube filters: After searching, sort the results by download date (“Downloaded” → “Last”).
- Check out the Xiaomi Global channel playlists – sometimes the records are hidden in the Live or Events sections.
- If the video is blocked in your area, use a VPN (e.g. a server in the U.S. or Hong Kong).
If the presentation is still not available, try searching on alternative channels, for example:
- 🎥 Xiaomi Spain – often duplicates global broadcasts.
- 🎥 Mi Fans Global is a fan community that keeps records.
- 🎥 TechDroider or GSMArena – Technology Blogs That Spread Presentations.
💡
If the presentation is in Chinese, turn on automatic subtitles on YouTube: click on the gear in the player → Subtitles → Automatic → select the language.
Alternative ways: where to look if YouTube doesn't help
If official sources fail, don't despair. There are several hidden platforms where you can find Xiaomi presentations, including outdated models.
| Platform | Advantages | Deficiencies | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bilibili | The Chinese version of YouTube with full presentation recordings, including technical details. | You need to know Chinese or use a translator. You need a VPN. | bilibili.com |
| Xiaomi and Redmi’s official accounts post short videos and links to full streams. | Content quickly sinks in the feed. You need to search by hashtags (e.g., #). | weibo.com | |
| Xiaomi Community Forum | Users share links to the posts and translate key points. | You have to register. Information is scattered on different topics. | c.mi.com |
| Telegram channels | Channels like @xiaominews or @miuiupdates are quick to share links to the presentations. | You need to keep up with updates in real time. | telegram.org |
Bilibili is especially useful for finding presentations of older models (such as the Xiaomi Mi 9 or Redmi K20 Pro), which users often upload even after they have been removed from YouTube. To find videos, search for the model name in Chinese (you can copy from the official Xiaomi China website) and add a word (which means “presentation”).

How to download Xiaomi presentation for offline viewing
If you want to save a presentation to your device (for example, to watch without the Internet), there are several ways to download videos from YouTube or other platforms.
Here is a step-by-step guide for YouTube:

Copy the link to the presentation |
Select quality (1080p or 720p recommended)|
Save the file in MP4| format
