Thorough note-taking from a live stream is only appropriate when it's impossible to record.

In school, thorough note-taking during lecture is a terrible idea. Only jot down your own questions to follow up on later; don't copy the material. Record the material and replay it later to review.

Note-talking "offline", at your own pace, from a book or a recording, is a great way to build your memory of the material.
