Thanks for the link. Handful of quick points: 1. The sound quality is poor, to a level where I find it quite hard to work out what is being said half the time especially as the speech is quite rapid. It would be worth investing in a bit of better audio kit for these videoed discussions. If the video is being captured remotely, better results might be possible by having a local capture, at least of the audio.
2. It would be great to have a tiny index as a text note on youtube at the time of publication so that, say, on an hour+ long meeting like this it would be possible to skip around the video to when new questions are addressed. Though the session notes are useful <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Executive_Director/May_2016_office_hours/Video-based_session_notes>, there is no relationship to timing. 3. The video has been published on a standard youtube license. Can those that manage these videos apply a free license that would be allowed on Wikimedia Commons as a default please? As a side note, there was quite a few minutes of in-crowd banter at the start, an awkward drop-out mid-way for a couple of minutes and another award minute or two at the end where the meeting was being accidentally recorded to youtube after it ended. It might be good to edit these out of the published version considering it is a public record.
