Comment (by BrashRebel):

 This is technically possible and requires three things:

 1. Use [this Publicize
 filter](https://developer.jetpack.com/hooks/wpas_default_message/) to
 customize the default share message so that it includes the speaker's
 Twitter handle.
 2. Add a new custom field to posts for saving the Twitter handle.
 3. Add a field to the video submission form to include it during initial
 submission.

 That's the most straightforward solution I can think of. There are two
 problems with it:

 1. The way I described it would not really support multiple
 speakers...although if it were just a text field we could provide
 instructions to separate handles with a space and it might work fine.
 2. We would only be collecting values going forward. Our 10k+ posts on the
 site now would not benefit.

 Anyway, it is possible and not particularly difficult. And it could be
 pretty handy too. Thanks for sharing the idea @carmemias !
