Ignition occured at ~ T+0:30 in the livestream. Did they launch late, or was the clock out of sync (video lag)?

T-45 minutes. A balmy -21 C at Vostochny!
And very clear!  From-the-ground camera views were able to follow the vehicle for several minutes.

Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

Steven noted earlier that the feed was substantially lagging behind the clock.  My >guess< is video lag.

Wow.  Gotta hand it to @OneWeb for not just acknowledging SpaceX and Starlink but showing footage of some of their launches... in the OneWeb launch webcast.  Mad respect.  Did not have to do that.
