I asked MIT about the cameras. They say we can use them to stream our meetings, but they can't provide us tech support, so we'd have to figure out for ourselves how to use them.
There's no mechanism for non-MIT users to record from the cameras, but if you can play the streaming video on a laptop, I imagine it should be possible to record the stream to the laptop's hard drive, then post the recording to youtube afterward.
