Video-team is often understaffed, so it is difficult to have shifts, and usually core-video team will do a check of equipment over lunch [solving problems, changing cassette, etc.]
Note: the problem is not only for video-team, but whole orga-team: we will spend much time to look for people. The venue is smaller (i.e. more packed) than dc12 and dc13, but…
I think we can live with 90 min, but IMHO it will not be a enjoyable period for us.
So I would make 2h (or 1:45) and take time from afternoon break. 1h break in full summer it could cause beer and relax (so skipping last talks).

Some people don’t like to be recorded (first timers, sensible topics, and possibly because more reasons [maybe something like CTTE and SPI board meeting, but I’m not sure]

I’m a video-team member (but not a core video-team).
marga: really we should act and ask teams explicitly. We need to reduce the surprise factor. Not having answers, don’t give us free of problems [and BTW we return on orga running middays (and also all day) to find people and fix stuffs we didn’t recognise before] [and BTW is it this a task of coordination, to be sure all relevant team give informations?].
