         | 1.- speakers do not need to know how to record their stuff and
         | send it by some means.
         | 
         | 2.- There is no need of somebody putting them all together
         | before broadcasting.
         | 
         | As far as I understand, both processes are automated so that
         | speakers just open the web app and record, and everything is
         | ready on time.
         | 
         | Maybe it'd be a nice feature for services like Streamyard,
         | allowing to introduce recorded videos in live events.

       | The description mentions that questioners can also record
       | questions... But how can you record questions for a talk that has
       | not happened yet? And if you hypothetically did wouldn't the
       | result be extremely jarring/annoying for viewers of the final
       | montage (as likely most questions would be answered by the talk
       | anyway - or even worse be way off topic)? Are the speakers
       | supposed to watch the whole in-progress montage immediately
       | before their talk to catch the questions? And what about
       | questioners that send the questions after the talk, will there be
       | a second round offset by 24 hours?

       | The point of conferences is discussing ideas, which
       | asynchronously is hard to say the least. Remote conferencing is
       | already a big step down compared to in person conferences. Doing
       | them asynchronously I fear that would put the last nail on the
       | coffin.

       | A: Let's do X
       | 
       | B: To do X, we need to Y.
       | 
       | C: To do Y, we need to Z.
