Insider threat. My organization archives our town halls with the President. There are hours of video available on the internal site.

And if not that, you also have internal meetings where managers love to turn their cameras on.

It also doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough.

Same. Not just town halls, but our internal video archive has thousands of hours of recordings of training, project kickoffs and retros, across hundreds of teams.
