So to me it seems enough to make it clear that talk rooms are filmed and to have a space for those that don't want to be filmed but still want to attend the talk. Having only a small "film" areay would make it harder to ask questions. Either questions would be asked without microphone anyway because people don't care about moving to the film area first or it would hinder a lively discussion as everyone has to move to the microphone/film area first to ask a question. I prefer a setup where it's easy for the audience to ask a question and for the live streaming and video quality it's important that questions are asked with a microphone and the person is filemd (if they agree). Having the person on video makes it easier to follow the discussion and to understand the question for non native speakers as you have additional non verbal communication hints. But I agree that this view might be skewed be that fact that I personally think that the talks video are very valueable and don't mind being filmed during the talks. Gaudenz
