This is a topic we discussed on our blog:

One of the commenters pointed out that in the most recent General  
Conference Elder Eyring told the story of a deacons quorum who  
recorded (audio) their class for a quorum member who couldn't  
attend.  The guidelines are probably stricter for sacrament meeting,  
but maybe an exception could be made for shut-ins?  Who can authorize  
that exception?
