If they ultimately watch the videos later, what difference does it make whether they watch it live. In my opinion, having a lecture recorded is a wonderful boo

  That's a nice theory and makes a lot of sense. But I don't know about you but I find I very rarely get around to watching things like conference video for sessions I missed live. You end up with a big backlog and it's easier just to ignore the whole thing.

    The parent comment was talking about educational lectures, like in classroom settings. When I was in college, online ed was just taking off at my campus, and I took one CS class with online lectures. It was quite useful to be able to go back to a lecture in that situation. I agree that for traditional meetings/conferences they're not super useful (though I often find myself enjoying presentations from tech conferences long after the conference was held). But that was a different scenario than I was defending.

  The administrators feel the students won't pay enough attention if they can simply watch the video later.
