“I don't suppose there's still any live streaming, or better
yet, recordings?”
“My wife and I watched on our Samsung TV's YouTube app. We
searched in the YouTube app and it couldn't have been
easier. The video and sound quality was also very good.”
“I would definitely like to see the meetings streamed as
well, now that I'm living in the San Francisco Bay area.”
“How much do you need for equipment?”
