I learned about this development from another participant in a (virtual) meeting of the AAAS "Committee on Science and Technology Engagement with the Public", where I suggesting offering public internet access to recordings of the symposia organized at AAAS meetings.

This was an idea that I promoted unsuccessfully a decade ago, but perhaps its time has come. Another current example: Last week I participated in an ACL Workshop on "Benchmarking: Past, Present and Future" — registration was required for the live sessions, but slides and videos have been posted on line.
