Viewing recordings
Note (*): Panopto lets you view slides and search, and play at 1.5x or even 2x, and has captions if you want.
If you download video or view local mp4 copies, and want captions, you need to turn them on in whatever video viewer app you use - in quicktime, they're under "unknown" subtitle language for reasons only known to panopto. Annoyingly, the slides in downloaded picture-in-picture video, are not full screen (due to how panopto and keynote interact)- apologies.
There are notionally 16 lectures, but 30 seperate segments of video. The index at the start of this page shows the days they were to be given. Follow the day's link, and you'll see more than 1 file to download/view.
