Q12. What should I do with regards copyright processing to publish a recorded lecture?

Firstly, prior to recording the lecture, you should check your slides content. If you used any copyrighted work then you must do one of the following: remove and create new content yourself, quote the author, or obtain authorization from the copyright holder. If you have already recorded the lecture, and it features copyrighted work, then you should edit the video to remove the copyrighted work.
