Please see the attached report on the current status of remote participation in the IETF meeting.  Please notice at the end a call for potential experiments to explore ways that we can improve remote participation.
Thank(s) for doing the summary, I believe understanding what is currently done and what has been done in the past is an important point for dicussion to jump off from.

An important consideration imho when the services were volunteer supported (as meetecho still is) is that they were relatively scalable relative to some previous iterations. audio streaming for all meeting(s) in parallel can be run by one person who has other responsibilities and little involvement from inroom participants. bidrectional conferencing typically involves more effort.

2.2. Video

    In the 1990s as part of the multicast experiment, multicast video was
    made available, but this experiment has ended without evolving into a
    production service.
The service was offered really in two phases, one in which bidirectional workstation concerning tools were used on both ends

vic/vat/sdr/wd

and bidirectional participation was possible. (archives were in rtp format)

and a phase through approximately the end of 2004 where streams were sourced in one direction.

in either case the potential audience was limited by the availability of ip multicast at a location.

expired version of the draft covering that time was:

    As part of a separate experiment, some sessions use Meetecho to make
    video available to anyone with a web browser.  WG Chairs must request
    this coverage.  When Meetecho is used, the URLs are announced in
    advance, and the recording becomes part of the session proceedings.
