> I don't know how often recorded videos are viewed--conference committees have to wade through a lot of applications.
For most conferences that do blind-rating first, only in subsequent rounds when the programme is being put together.
How common is that (outside of academia maybe -- which I have little familiarity with)?
Certainly when I've been on conference committees we tended to know a lot of the presenters and wouldn't have wanted to just rely on submissions. We knew who were experts on specific topics or were just good presenters.
