Great! Could you remind me in UTC at which time of the day? Because I
generally have to record them at 00 UTC to reduce the environmental
noise. And then match them.

Yes, the slides videos take the duration of the audio file. And the
cli session videos, let me check, but they are easier in terms that
you have to say what is said during while listening to the audio, to
match the command.

When I packaged, I did it the other way, and my mentors approved them.
Recall that you are "touching" .scm files from your the guix you have
installed if you do it the other way around. But if the others can
shed some light it would be great. In case I am wrong, I would need to
change not only the slides but also the cli sessions :/. In that case,
could you reschedule the day for the recordings?
