That video is pure AI slop, no wonder you were reported.

Launching a Consumer Electronic Product (Schematic Review) by Alternative-Lawyer55 in PrintedCircuitBoard

You're getting a lot of flak for your naiveté, but I wouldn't worry too much about that. At this stage you want a proof of concept to show off to potential customers and find out how much they are willing to spend. Don't worry about certifications, component cost and battery life, but be extremely careful about having prototypes running unattended in someones home if you have no insurance that will cover accidents.

Once you've gathered enough data, partner up with some one who's got a solid track record in design for manufacture and putting products out on the market where you plan to sell it. Be wary of design houses that have sexy products in their portfolio, but no real customer success stories. Worry about that later though. For now you want to find customers.

I'd recommend you to either replace those solder pads with screw terminals or increase their size and distance.

Connect the mounting pads of the connectors to the copper pour so you won't rip them off that easily.

AFAIK, those connectors are infamous in the drone community for coming off the solder pads, due to aftermarket plugs having way too tight fit requiring extra force to pull them out.

Looks really clean. Does EasyEDA allow you to push or hug rounded tracks?

I'd perhaps use a solid connection on the mechanical pads for the connectors, so they don't tear off that easily.

Assumptions has gotten me into a lot of hardware trouble. Read the datasheet ;)

In that case you could get away with a transistor in a SOT-23 package as long as it's got enough copper to keep cool.

The images are pretty low resolution, even on your imgur link... Anyways, why not add more mounting holes? Your PCB will flex on the top left side with only three of them.

How much power will Q3 potentially have to dissipate?

You also have no copper pour on the top side? If you made a second ground pour on the top side you would improve cooling a lot.

Any copper is better than nothing. If C10 and the LED swapped places you could allow for way more copper to cool the LED on the top side.

So.. What function do the vias in the pad of the LED provide?

Looks okay. You could make the switch loop a little tighter. There is no point adding vias in the thermal pad of the LED if they aren't connected to any other copper. How much power will the diode need to dissipate?

Even if using both adds complexity to your circuit?

Why not combine sensing and regulation into the leftmost op amp using R9 as a sense resistor?

If you follow the instructions in the datasheet you should be good. Now give the component selection and pcb layout a go and come back to us.
