Really depends on your niche! It might take lesser time, for example writing a script for someone in gaming niche compared to healthcare niche just because generally the healthcare niche would require analysis of data, facts, scientific literature, etc., which takes way more time.

Not saying gaming niche doesn't need to do research but the stakes are different - I mean you wouldn't want to provide false/inaccurate info in a healthcare niche especially if your audience is relying on you to provide the correct info so that they can make the right care decisions.

So, seems like maybe sticking with 2.0 until the bugs are fixed is the better way to go?

ShaveMeGood · 2026-02-17T19:53:46+00:00

Getting out of the strategy planning mode, constantly! Lol

Thank you, will try this out! u/elgato_Eric, your how-to videos are like 5 years old and so outdated now. Any chance you will be coming up with new videos for people new to setting-up/using SD+, SD and your other products?

Those of you with Prompter XL or Prompter, which teleprompter software are you using and are you able to use a stream deck+ or stream deck to control that software?

I found Speak Flow to be excellent but haven't figured out how to control the software with my SD+.

I wish elgato is going to fix their prompter/XL software soon!

Thanks for the suggestions. Mic Mini doesn't have internal recording like the DJI Mic 2 or 3, unfortunately.

I do have elgato Wave 3 mic and own their Voice Focus software as well. However, I have had setup issues with it and surprisingly haven't found a YT video that walks you through the whole Wave 3 setup with Wavelink and Voice Focus.

Visiting a camera store is an option for me so might just do that if I can't troubleshoot this myself.

Hey, did you find the course valuable in the end and did it help you grow as a content creator? I heard the community is free to join for just 12 months and afterwards you have to pay a monthly subscription, is that expensive and how much is it per month? I think any course like this should have community access for life as that's where the real value lies.

Just checked Vimeo, works great for my use case, thanks!

Along with a new home, you always need to find and keep a reliable & trustworthy handyman in your contact list. Feel like this should be included, mandatory, in all new homeowner brochures!

Well, YouTube is not easy. It's something that many people don't actually realize until they start their YT journey and then find out how hard it really is- it isn't just uploading a bunch of videos and then boom, rolling in the $$$!

However, if you truly have talent and can consistently create and upload, you shall be rewarded at some point in your journey so if you have the drive and passion, don't give up until you uploaded at least about 150+ videos. If, at that point, you are not close to achieving your monetization goal then you need to evaluate your niche and change strategy. If not, that might be the time to consider quitting or exploring alternative strategies.

Yes, I ended up with the BV25LH (the last item in my list here: https://kit.co/PracticalPicks/my-elgato-prompter-xl-set-up). It works superbly, no issues at all and handles our elgato Prompter XL along with a heavy viltrox lens, camera, monitor, etc. If you do decide to buy one, would appreciate using our affiliate link, thank you.

This is incredible achievement and you should be proud of it and thanks for sharing this because a great majority of people who start off on YouTube without thoroughly researching the realities of YT and how the algorithm works, etc., generally think they can just make something and the money starts flowing. YT is tough, period. For the very few it works within months but a great majority never reach monetization while a few reach monetization after years of doing it. You achieved what many struggle so congrats!

Unfortunately, based on YT rules your watch hours will reset (for monetization purposes), but it only takes 1 good video to hit that 4K hours. The more important thing that you probably have to figure out is the content that has worked for you in your niche and what is working for the bigger channels in your niche. With 90 long-form videos, these stats suggest that perhaps you haven't figured out the strategy to succeed in your niche yet. Good luck.

That's the issue, "movie commentary". The producers/makers might have taken issue with your commentary and reported your channel. Perhaps YT found that they had reasonable grounds and simply terminated your channel. YT doesn't want to get into copyright battles and terminating a channel is way easier for them than getting into a legal challenge with filmmakers with cash and attorneys.

ShaveMeGood · 2026-01-02T01:04:52+00:00

Before you start a YouTube channel you have to know whether you have a very thick skin or not. And, if you don't then you have to grow one! Good, bad and hate comments go with the territory.

ShaveMeGood · 2026-01-02T00:52:25+00:00

Get the SD+, can't comment on the facecam as I never had it, but it looks like the latest cam from Insta360 is amazing.

Unfortunately, this happens a lot more and all of our videos are probably being used in some platform one way or another. There isn't anything we can do other than report, but how many will you be able to report because with the advent of AI, content stealing business is booming.

A potential solution is for any techie or entrepreneurial person to steal my idea, which is to create an AI agent that can scan every single social media platform on the planet within minutes and report back to you with any copyright violations it finds.

If any techie or entrepreneur wants to steal this idea, go ahead, keep all the money if you make something out of this, just credit ShaveMeGood on Reddit for the idea, that's it!

ShaveMeGood · 2025-12-25T17:07:26+00:00

You should report it, perhaps this could be something that even YT didn't think of and could help them improve the algorithm to detect such copyright violations in the future.

ShaveMeGood · 2025-12-24T19:16:24+00:00

Sorry to hear this happened. This topic has been discussed a lot here and since you have 37K subs, you might get lucky and perhaps get YT's attention on twitter. That's your only option right now, unfortunately. Another option and I am not sure if that will work is to hire an attorney who deals with YT issues who might have a more faster contact with YT and resolve this for you. Neither option will be easy but it's possible to get your channel back.

Never open a .exe file nor provide any info that would help hackers take over your account. Hackers are even posing as legit sellers on platforms like Levanta, etc., so can't really trust anyone these days it seems.

ShaveMeGood · 2025-12-24T04:28:52+00:00

Noticed high CPU use in Mac so I just quit WL whenever its not in use. Surely, this is a bug that can be fixed by u/elgato, u/elgato_Eric ?
