The first video was made in 2013 while Freaky's OP tried to make it seem like the events happened together.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvAnfi8WpVE
As far as I can tell, the second video is from an NAB conference in Las Vegas. The delay seems to have virtually nothing to do with the time it takes a signal to go from Earth to the ISS (which is negli ...[text shortened]... ntent delivery network.

Your reference says that the signal went from ISS to the Johnson Space Centre, to the cloud, and then via geostationary satellite to a truck at Las Vegas. ISS is at 400 km, the Earth's radius is 6,300 km so the maximum distance from ISS to the Johnson Space Centre is of the order of 6,000 km. Geostationary orbit is at 35,000 km, so the signal had to travel about 76,000km, the speed of light is just under 300,000 km/s which gives a time of travel is about a quarter of a second. And a round trip time of half a second (the time from a question being asked and the questioner hearing the astronauts response). The actual video coding happens in real time, so most of the delay will have been to do with Amazon's servers.
