I was really comparing live over video to pre-recorded over video. I agree it's easier in many ways in person and that's my preference. (That said, my videos on YouTube are watched by far more people than in-person unless I'm giving a keynote.)
That said, it's gotten easier over the past year. My office is pretty much set up as a studio now with lighting, mikes, camera and so forth. And I've learned things like better eye discipline. I've also learned that, sure, I should do a retake if I really flub something (or, umm, forgot to hit the record button). But for anything longer than a very short clip, it doesn't need to be perfect.
But, then, this is one of the things I do for a living so it's been worth the time and money to get things right.
