It seems more like automated to be listened to later (with powerpoint).The presentation was in a lecture room at the University of Tasmania. They have a virtually automated recording system set up to make it easy for lectures to be watched later by students who may even be at different campuses. (My son attends UTas and I know they do it this way in other disciplines.) I assume this is how the recording was made. There was noone present who appeared to be fussing around with any recording equipment.
Just to be clear i'm not complaining, perhaps i just like seeing as well as hearing (the difference between radio and TV).
