This video was captured using a locked-down, unmanned camera. As a result, there may be moments when speakers are not fully in the camera shot. Additionally, the audio quality captured by the podium microphone is dependent on the proximity of the speaker to the mic. This means that variations in audio clarity may occur if the speaker moves away from the microphone during their presentation. We appreciate your understanding of these technical aspects.
