So I read somewhere that when you upload videos, you should schedule it 24 hours later to publish to allow youtube time to analyze and find the correct viewers to recommend to. Does anyone actually do this or do you just publish after uploading?

On YouTube, I publish short form videos on Wednesday and Friday at 7pm. On Sunday I post a long form video at 4pm. All three videos are scheduled in advance. I would like to provide a link from the short form videos to the long form video. Is that possible? I asked this question of both Gemini an ChatGPT and received almost the same answer from both. Gemini said I could link to either a scheduled or unlisted video. Chat said I could only link to an unlisted video, but then I could make the unlisted video a scheduled video and the link would still work. Unfortunately, in practice I'm finding that the link actually opens the scheduled video. What am I doing wrong?

Hey everyone, I've lost countless hours and days over the past few months trying to solve this teleprompter issue and it's preventing me from getting my videos done which is incredibly frustrating and I'm no closer to getting a solution. First of all, I realize I can use bullet points, but not really because I do super in depth videos with specific historical info that I need a script for, so I don't need that suggestion. The trouble I'm running into is there is only one app I know that allows me to use my own phone camera, so that's fine (it's floating) but it won't let me touch the screen if I need to scroll back without messing everything up. But it also won't let me connect to some sort of bluetooth remote to control it. So I look into physical teleprompters but I still need an app to control the scroll. Plus I already spent all this money on getting my phone set up perfectly and if I have to buy a physical teleprompter to use my phone with that goes down the drain. I cannot find an answer. I need to be able to use my own phone camera and control the scroll without it interrupting the video. Help please! TIA

Alexa. I am following through on my Youtube comment that I am here to show up and grow up. In Jan - I launched a Mighty Network community called Walking Sober - Walking was a big part of my journey to Sobriety- hence the name. My domain is walking sober. My community Walking Sober Club. So when I turned to Youtube - I made a Walking Sober Channel- 10 subs My personal channel - with my name Terry Grier - has about 350 subs. I had the idea of doing both and wound up doing neither. I consulted my AI (Claude) and it thinks my name Terry Grier - is better channel than a branded channel. and I tend to agree. It would be 95% sobriety / recovery and about 5% other but that other is still going to be around my journey and story etc. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,I run a travel and golf channel, and I really like keeping ownership of all the raw video footage we film on our trips. For me, that footage has a lot of value because I can reuse it later for new videos or other content. The problem is that my workspace is now full of all kinds of hard drives, which I really do not like. On top of that, my footage is not 100% secure. I also want to make sure everything is backed up properly, so if one of my drives gets damaged, I still have my footage safely stored somewhere else. How do you store your old raw video footage?
