Hello there,
This year I had the chance to collaborate with a professional video production crew on the live stream, and people noticed it immediately.
When you watch the recording you can easily see the speaker, view the slides while they're presenting, and easy to hear everyone.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Ryan
