Any comments on the technical aspects

The technology was a bit glitchy.
A few issues with the videos shown but generally fine.
My internet grrrr!
All worked well. (2)
Excellent.
Sound and video was a bit jerky on a few occasions, but not enough to interrupt my understanding of what was being said.
