I would say that if we were to set a requirement in this day and age it
would be that video should be live streamed and immediatly (and
permanently) accessible. If I understood it correctly, in London this
will be the case through a Youtube premium account. That should be
repeatable from the same service (or another, like Bambuser that we in
WMSE is using) for all coming events.
