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.

the footage at the end of Wikimania.
d be that
A 3-9 month delay between the end of Wikimania and the uploading of
videos has been the case for many past Wikimanias. One of the main
concerns is cost: it would be considerably more expensive to contract
the filming company to do all the post-production.
If enough Wikimaniacs think it is important to have the videos
available
promptly, then it may be an idea for WMF to set aside funding for
someone to work in the WMF datacenter after Wikimania to process and
upload the videos... (I say in the datacenter rather than as part of
the
recording contract, because as many WM13 attendees have found, average
upload speed from HK to WMF servers is less than 10kB/s)
