Royal Observatory Edinburgh are running a series of online talks. The talks are part of the public outreach and are being done online due to Corvid-19 but being online they are available to those who are too distant to travel to Edinburgh.
The talks are live and are limited numbers and you have to book a ticket (free) in advance. You provide your e-mail address and when you book your ticket you get an e-mail telling how to "attend" the course (link, booking ref number, etc.).
Live talks are at a set time but I've no idea if recordings are put online later. Being live, you watch/attend on your computer and you can type n questions and periodically the lecturer will pause and answer (some) questions.
I "attended" one last night about galaxy formation and development computer simulations and it was interesting and worked well. The next one scheduled is for 27 April 2020 19:00-19:45:
Ticket numbers are limited so if interested do book as I have no idea if or how quickly it gets fully booked.
Last night was the first, 27 April is the second but they want to make it an ongoing thing but beyond 27 April nothing yet scheduled (I suspect they are waiting to see how well it's received and how much work is involved, etc.)

Booking, tickets are free and the only e-mails I've received are confirmation of booking and details about how to "attend".

The Very First Light
Teresita Suarez Noguez
Are we able to see the first stars and galaxies in the Universe? How do we know they are the very first stars? These early luminous objects determined the formation of structure in our Universe that led to the distribution of matter that we observe today.
