Good news is ORNL is uploading their MP4 of ORNL MSRW 2020 to YouTube!
I was working (slowly due to "real job") through ORNL MSRW 2020, and have made it up to Kairos Power's "Advanced Reactor Licensing" (presented by Peter Hastings), when ORNL uploaded a bunch of unlisted videos to YouTube themselves.
Go here: https://msrworkshop.ornl.gov/msr2020/ ...to see the index.
I'm very happy ORNL did this. I'm not sure why they're presently unlisted, or if it is possible for ORNL to try expose such content more effectively by making such videos public. That would take me completely out of this loop, which is sort of the goal here.
I'm always going to want to have access to as much ORNL video as possible, for my own communication purposes. But I don't like being the major bottleneck between ORNL talks and the public being able to access them.
So I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the talks. I'll probably just focus on the small number that both seem important to general public, and also can be improved by combining ORNL's captured video stream with my own.
For example, with the Kairos Power licensing video, if you want to compare the two...

...here's what I did:
- took out some stammers, coughs and pauses
- split-screened to show Peter talking
- evened out audio levels
I think it is more watchable, but also a lot of effort. (The audio levels take the most time.)
It was Aslak Stubsgaard who alerted me to ORNL's uploading of the presentations to YouTube. Copenhagen Atomics wants a Gord edit, and I'll do that ASAP. But if anyone thinks a MSRW talk should be improved as much as possible, you might have to point it out to me. Otherwise I just tend to focus on the most dynamic speakers, and not necessarily the most important topics.

...I also notice their playlist is unlisted as well as every video it contains.
I'd suggest hanging on to ORNL's playlist URL, as ORNL MSRW website links to videos in the playlist but not the playlist itself.
President-Elect Biden names John Kerry as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate
Which makes some old John Kerry footage relevant again.

There's a lack of footage of Biden talking about nuclear, so please alert me if you come across anything from this century.
End of Update
That's it. My MSRW ORNL 2020 playlist is up to 13 videos. ORNL's surprise playlist has 26 videos.
I'll work on Copenhagen Atomics presentation next. If you have any other requests let me know. But for the most part I'll be assuming ORNL's playlist is adequate and certainly not posting every talk myself.
