The Villages the District Government - this isn't in the budget to record these things, so if we want to do this then there will be additional costs which has to come from somewhere, that will be the Maintenance Assessment that has to be raised to support this.
The Villages the Recreation Department - again, this isn't in the recreation budget and we just can't raise the amenity fee any time we want (See the video The Amenity Fee (part 2) and The Villages 8-17-20 Construction Update - YouTube - bookmarked at the point of discussion) so the only way to fund this would be cut something else, any suggestions?
If the information was posted by the District or Rec Department that would incur additional technology costs not budgeted for, so again the money would have to come from somewhere.
The Villages the community - this is you, I, and everyone else living in The Villages, this is the only real source of resources to accomplish such as task and then these efforts could be posted on YouTube or a social media website - these are free, but the user must endure commercials.
So, the pejorative "they" or in this case "The Villages", comes down to "us", the residents. "We" can make this happen if "We" want it to. Is it a good idea? No, it's a GREAT IDEA!
While I don't have the bandwidth to make this happen myself, I am very willing to share my knowledge and experience with individuals willing to pick up the yoke and make this good idea happen. If someone out there would like to take the challenge, they can contact me directly and we can get things rolling for the good of all the residents.

They is whoever run these classes today. According to your post (I have no reason to doubt you) is us. Thus us is doing it today without turning a camera on or Zoom or the like. How much more would it cost US to add/enhance this feature. In the scheme of things I suspect it wouldn't put a very big dent into any budget however I am very well versed on the term creeping elegance.
