LIVE SMOKE CAM: Watch the Vatican's chimney as Cardinals select new pope during conclave - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Watch a live feed of the Sistine Chapel's chimney as the conclave of 133 Catholic cardinal electors meets in Vatican City to choose the next pope. Barred from leaving and with zero contact with the outside world, they must vote — and vote, and perhaps vote again — until they select the next leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics. When the conclave chooses a new pope, white smoke will billow from chapel's chimney. Until that decision is made, spectators in St. Peter’s Square will see black smoke, which means another vote will occur.

5. It's hard to tell at night, but there's a huge crowd observing during the day, so they'll sure notice

And since this is a live feed, it'll be easier to tell in the daylight.

10. The "thumbnail" image for this video (showing white smoke) is definitely clickbait...

Ugh! I thought it was real and that a new pope had been chosen.
