Audio is surprisingly important for Video, especially for talking-head videos...
Think of it this way -- you're essentially recording a podcast, except including your video as well. Become really aware of reverb/echoey sound in your audio, and adjust for it. Ideas to try: Bring your mic as close to your mouth as possible (well, not so close as to distort the sound.) Fewer hard surfaces around you where sound can bounce around -- cover it with soft material like clothing or blankets. Or sound tiles. Which can be pieces of art! Get a better mic :) my favorite are Earpods (the wired type) purchased direct from Apple (don't get the knockoffs from Amazon and many retailers) Comment below with mics that have great sound for you!

The experience of uploading first YT video and finding flow for regular creating - Shoubhik's example
Here is Shoubhik's first ever YouTube video! Besides the comments below (if any), also check out the live chats from zoom for this segment here. (This is a preview segment.

I've seen it recommended strongly elsewhere to create a new gmail account for the youtube account.
@Jill Binder That's interesting. Being a minimalist, I don't like creating new accounts because I already have more than one. Do you maybe remember what was the reason they recommend it that way?
There is no laptop input that matches the headphones, looks like I need some kind of adapter...
@Devora Gila Berkowitz I'm interested in this too. Did you find the adapter?
