BLU has recorded some talks (audio quality questionable, see video of my
2011 crypto talk). They've also done telepresense lately as one regular
member was in rehab hospital so his buddy streamed it for him. I'm sure
audio quality was poor too.

AFAIK that's for SLOANE use.

In theory my phone could do that even if my laptop were presenting. I've
never tried Skype video or transmitting on a Hangout. Not really my thing.
If another regular wanted to make this their thing it could work, but it
needs an enthusiastic volunteer.

(Federico likes devices but he's not as regular as we could wish.)
