I'm also good with pre-recorded videos. It will be helpful if there is time built into the meeting for viewing them, but also if they are available a little ahead of time.
Anyone interested in having a session introducing VR? That can (probably) be streamed to a 2D format for folks without headsets. If folks are curious or interested, I can see what is possible. I expect that Carlos knows a little about this, too.

Subject: Re: [AMBER-Developers] Planning for the 2021 Amber Developers' Meeting
[EXTERNAL SENDER - PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY]
1. no date restrictions
2. yes I have extreme Zoom fatigue lately. short days are better.
3. I don't mind looking at slides in advance, but not sure I will follow
them without discussion unless people add lots of text. Andrés made a good
suggestion about advance recordings, I've done that for a few meetings
lately since internet can sometimes be unstable so they want a backup.
