There are several videos posted on their Facebook timeline; here's one:

And here's an interview from this morning, on one of NZ's morning TV news shows.

As it doesn't look like the videos are going to be re-posted anywhere on Auckland Museum's website and they're creeping pretty far down the FB page now, I thought it might be useful to compile the links to the various segments here:

Intro / first segment (starts at 0:52 since they didn't tell us we were live until then! )
A group of school kids comes to take a look
Discussing heavy metals with PhD student Alex Lischka
General intro to the squid: arms, skin, eyes
Looking inside the mantle and first look at the beaks
Comparing giant & colossal squids with PhD student Aaron Evans (plus more beaks & radula)
The end: Dissecting the head, eyes, brain & ink sac
