Hello. How do you change the battery in a Sony ZV1 or ZV-1 camera? I had a rainbow above the happy heart here. And uh this is what it looks like on the picture I took on my phone. I had to take it on my phone cuz when I tried to take it on my ZV1, I got the camera out and then got this error message. Battery exhausted. I've had this battery for about oh my goodness about 5 years now and I think it's time to to change the battery. Here's how I change mine. It's quite straightforward as soon as you know where to look. And I think this is the same for many other Sony cameras and versions of the Sony ZV-1. The battery that the ZV1 takes is Sony lithium ion NP-BX1. I have a brand new one here. There's a link down in the description if you want to get a new one, too. Maybe you just want to take the battery you've got out. This is what the battery looks like. And you can see there are these four terminals here. Let's take a look now though at where the battery goes in the ZV1 camera. So I'm going to look underneath. And this is slightly different for different versions of the ZV 1. The battery compartment is just on the left hand side here. And to open this compartment, you slide this slider here towards the open. And then underneath, you can see there's the SD card that pops out like this. I'll just push it in like that. And then to release the battery, there's a catch here, blue catch. So, I'm going to push this catch to the side. And the battery should spring up like that. And then the battery comes out. Now, I've written my phone number on here just in case I ever lose the camera. So, I'll leave my battery this side up. I'll just take the new camera battery. And you can see the terminals there match the terminals inside the camera. So, I'm going to put it this way up. So, the Sony side up towards the lens. And we just bounce it down. And you can see there's a spring there. And we need to just push it down so it clicks into place like that. And then we can close the compartment and slide the catch over to keep the compartment closed. We can now charge it by opening this compartment here. And there is a on my camera it's a micro USB slot. You might have a USB-C slot, but we just uh power it up there and that will charge the battery inside. So, the rainbow's gone, but at least I've got a new battery in my camera. Time to charge it now. Thank you if this video is helping if you hit the thumbs up or the subscribe button. It really helps me to keep this channel going. So, thank you. And right here are all my Sony ZV1 or ZV 1 camera videos, all my accessories and tips and tricks.

Best SMALL Dehumidifier? MEACO 6L ARETE ONE REVIEW!



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

This is the small Meaco Arete One 6L dehumidifier and air purifier, but is it any good to use in a single room? Welcome back to the channel. Very exciting day today. By the way, this is where I do all my hair and makeup. Actually, it's my daughter's bedroom where I do all my hair and makeup. But look, I've got this for her room. It is the coldest room in the house. And we've had all kinds of... I want to say damp problems, but they it's more condensation, mould. It grows everywhere. I've tried pulling away the furniture from the walls. We've even completely stripped bare the walls and completely redecorated in here. And since we've done that, we've not had any mould back. And that's thanks to this, the bigger brother to the 6L. This is the Meaco Arete One 18L dehumidifier. Since we got that, we've not had any mould in the house. And I've been chasing the mould around the house for years. And in about 1 year, this completely solved our mould issue. But now we've got the bedroom exactly how we want it. I want to keep that moisture at bay. I want to make sure the mould stays away from here. This is a weird extension to the house. It was built in the 1980s and it's on the first floor. The roof is... I mean it's just pretty much uninsulated. So although we've got the bigger dehumidifier that completely solves the house. When Meaco got in touch and said, "Do you want to try out our our smallest ever dehumidifier?" I said absolutely 100% yes. I bought the 18L Arete One with my own money. That's why I'm... I can compare this with that. Is it good value for money? How loud is it? How much energy does it use? And more crucially, will it look good in here? My daughter absolutely loves the Arete Two 12L dehumidifier. I think a large dehumidifier copes with our house. It solved the mould problem, but having a second one has really helped with the laundry, and it's also helped just to have one on each floor. I don't think we need it, but the second one does make the second floor feel a lot drier. And we've got the bathroom up here, plus all our bedrooms. We're breathing in the night. We've got condensation galore. Having a small dehumidifier was actually how I got into dehumidifiers. This is not a subject that I thought I would know anything about, but I made this video, this first video about the I think it's the SilentNight, and I think this is a 2L dehumidifier. Should we just open it? Let's just open it. This is just a first impressions review, by the way. It's not going to be in-depth. I just want to show you what it looks like when it arrives. Let's unfurl it. Amazing. So, it's a really nice size. It comes with a HEPA filter. That's the air purifier part of the dehumidifier. This filter, I'll spin it around. It's got blue tape that holds it in place for transport. As well as purifying the room, the good thing with the filters is that it protects the dehumidifier. It stops dust getting into the fan inside. And I don't think you can open this up if it's like the... the bigger ones. But you just get the the filter, put it into the air intake, and this has got a grille on it anyway just to stop big particles going in. But this will actually help purify the air in the room. So that's nice. And you just slide it back on like this. The power lead, the power cord looks like it's I mean that looks like it's a metre and a half. I'll put it on screen when I've measured it properly. But that's a really nice amount of lead. I love, by the way, that I can just put it on her desk. The Meaco dehumidifiers are this shape because you can push them up against the wall. So, they're they're kind of designed for UK and Ireland houses. We don't have that much floor space. So, being able to push this up against the wall and the air intake has been designed to be able to draw in from the sides. You're encouraged to push it up against the wall. At the front is the water tank by the looks of it. Just pull that. And because there's a clear window here, you can see when it's full up. When it fills up and it's full, the dehumidifier will cut off and it will stop because there's a... there's like a device in here so it knows when it's full so it doesn't overflow. This is me in the edit. I just wanted to drop this clip in now because this is the next day. I just kick this to one side. It looks like it's off, but it's actually on night mode. So, it's been running all night. It's now down to 61%. But I just wanted to show you how much water is collected. If I give it a little shake, it's quite a lot. So, if I turn it off and then pull it out. So, yeah, I was filming the unboxing at 8:00 last night, and it's now 2:00 the next day. This is how much water it's collected on night mode. I think we put it on about 10:00 last night. I can show you how much comes out.



So all of that... it was nearly full. So I'd say maybe 1 and 1/2 L uh just on night mode in about 14 hours... 15 hours. So that is the kind of liquid that's removed from the air by this dehumidifier. And there's also there's a hose attachment. I've never used these, but you can plug it in and attach I think a garden any garden hose and then it will just continuously drain. So, if you want to leave it and not have to empty the water tank. Oh, look. It's like my dehumidifiers have had a little baby. Now, I think what makes this an Arete One is that it doesn't have the louvre of the Arete Two. So, this is where the air comes out, the dry filtered air. There's a handle here that says your Arete has been designed with a discreet carry handle. Lift both edges basically. Uh don't pull it up from one side because it might snap. So you you pull it up like this and you can move it around. Although that said, I mean it's pretty easy to to carry without it. I'm going to take this label off. This is a nice satisfying moment for me. Get to take off the protective film and I'll give you a tour of the control panel. So obviously this is the the power switch. I'll turn it on here. I think my camera isn't coping very well with the LED numbers. These are crystal clear in real life. What it's doing at the moment is sampling the air. So, it will take a few minutes for it to take a reading of the humidity in the room. That's what this number is here. At the moment, it's reading 68. The target humidity Meaco recommend is 55%. On an aircraft, it goes as low as 20 or 18%. So, you get dry air. You can feel the liquid leaving your body. And when it's really super humid, which is what it used to be in here. These, this used to be like up at 80 or 83%. On the control panel, we have this button here, which selects the target humidity. We've got laundry mode, night mode, and then we have four indicator lights here. So, I think this first one means that it is actually dehumidifying at the moment because it's not hitting the target humidity yet. This light here lights up when the water tank is full. This lights up when it's in air purifier mode. And this is a lock to lock the control panel so you don't accidentally change it. It's like a child lock. So this is the... this is the button we use to control humidity in the room. If I press it once, you can see it says 55. Honestly, this display is crystal clear in real life. It looks a bit fluffy. If I press it again, 55 means that's the target humidity for this room. So, it's at 67. This dehumidifier will run and dehumidify until it hits 55%. It will go down over time to hit 55. If I want to change that, if I press it again and then press it again, every time I press the button, it gives me a different target humidity. So, CO is short for continuous. So, if I just want it to just keep running, I'll put it on CO. If I press it again, that's 40%. Which is quite a dry room to have. Press it again. 45. I'll just bring it back up to 55. When I let go, 55 will be the target that this dehumidifier will try to aim for. I don't use this button very much. It's laundry mode. And if I press it, you can see the target humidity now is 35%. I just paused there to see if you could hear that the fans are going at a higher speed now. So, if we had laundry in the room, this is now running at a slightly higher fan speed. And the target humidity is 35. It really wants to dry everything in the room. The SL stands for smart laundry mode. So, in smart laundry mode, it runs for 6 hours and turns off laundry mode after those 6 hours. I don't know if I can get a countdown. Yeah, there we go. 06. So, that's the 6 hours. So, you just press it a couple of times to see how many hours you have left on smart laundry mode. Honestly, I... I it's a nice feature to have, but I just run the dehumidifier as a dehumidifier. The button here is night mode. If I press this, we can see that the indicator goes on here and then all the indicators go off. But I hope you can hear on my microphone that it's still running. And I believe the fan drops to a slightly lower level. I'll turn night mode off just by pressing the night mode button again. And now we can change it back to if I press it again, it now flips it back to the normal dehumidifier mode. And I don't know if you heard there, but the fan came back up to a higher speed. This is supposedly one of the quietest compressor dehumidifiers on the market. The figure that Moaco quote is 32 decibels. That 32db is when it's on night mode. There are no casters on the Meaco Arete One 6L. So, it sits flat on rubber feet and there's less vibration rattling against the floor. When you do want to empty the water tank, all I do, I... I tend to turn it off. And can you can just pull out the water tank here just from both sides. And then you can just pour it in the sink from either or both holes here. And then once that's done, you just push it back into place and turn it on again. The capacity of the water tank is 1.8L. When I compare that with my 18L Arete One that stores, I think 4.9L. So, it's a... it's a couple of litres. And this is probably the good point where I do my bad description of how the litres works. So, you can see on the box, this model is called the the 6L model. So, all dehumidifiers have a litre figure attached to them. And it's really easy to think of the litres as the... the storage tank, and it's not. So my Arete One 18L dehumidifier will remove 18L of water at a certain percentage humidity and certain temperature of the room. That's why they call it relative humidity. Which means that compared with that model, this 6L dehumidifier would remove 6 litres in a day under those same conditions, which means that my 18L dehumidifier would remove three times more water in a day. It's just a way of being able to compare like with like. At the back, it comes with a grille that filters out large particles and mud in the air, thanks to my dog, Casper. And it comes with this filter. It's a HEPA filter. All you do is you just slot this into the filter tray. Just push it down. There's like a foam edge around the edge to make it airtight. And now we can just slide that back into the dehumidifier like this. This isn't hugely scientific, but I've got this device that measures how much power a device uses. Should be able to see how many watts it draws. Now, this is going to be different depending on all kinds of different situations. And you've seen the relative humidity is about 64%. And you can see that it's drawing about five watts. To me, that's incredible. I actually think it's sampling at the moment. I don't think it is uh 5W. Oh, here we go. I just heard the compressor kick in. Let's have a look now. There we go. 113 W. So, I can hear that the compressor is working. The fan is going and it's on it's on normal dehumidifier mode. And that is running at about 114 watts. If we want to translate that into a cost, I'll put this on screen. My energy bills at the moment are 24p per kilowatt hour. So if I ran this at 100W for 10 hours, that would cost me 24p. Uh, but it wouldn't be running all the time because you might hit the target humidity. Um, there might be time in there where it's sampling. I might even put it into uh a higher mode to dry some laundry. But just to give you a rough ballpark figure, it's about 24p for about half a day. I have got all the dehumidifiers in the house in this room. Let's move the camera back because over here I've got my Arete Two 12L. So, should we compare? Should we see how that compares? And instantly you can see the number of watts that my 12L Arete Two dehumidifier uses is 142. Your circumstances will definitely vary, but the 12L the much bigger 12L dehumidifier uses 143W when it's first plugged in. So, this dehumidifier, the 12L, is double the dehumidifying power of the 6L one, but it only uses 40 to 50% more electricity. I was obsessed with the the cost of this thing to to run when I first got my big dehumidifier, and we were really careful to only just leave it running at night on the landing or in the main kitchen area. On the second year, because our bills hadn't gone up that much, we just left it running. We left it running pretty much all the way through the winter and we also used it for our washing. So, we stopped using the tumble dryer. So if you're in a say a student flat, maybe you're in some kind of bedsit and you're thinking about should I get one of these or one of these, whichever you choose will cost a lot less than the tumble dryer or tumble dry function on your washing machine. This is just a fraction of the cost. We stopped using our tumble dryer altogether. We only use it for towels now and our electricity bill really came down. So that was unexpected. And also the thing dehumidifies the house at the same time. So my goodness, what a dull video. But if you're looking for a dehumidifier, I know what it's like. Do you go for a small one or a big one or a really big one? Because the 18L or the 20L or even 25L models are even larger. It's difficult to gauge which one. If you have a house and you want to dehumidify it, if you have mould problems like we had, I'd go for the biggest one possible. But if you've got a problem room, I'm going to put this down cuz it's killing my lap. If you have a problem room or you're living in a shared house, this thing, this 6L thing is absolutely gorgeous. And I've found that the 2L models are really tempting because this is a lot of money. But these things work. They draw so much moisture out of the air. The proper dehumidifiers, as soon as we got them into the house, they completely did the job. We've not had any mold issues for 2 years now. Hands down. We we spent our own money on buying the first dehumidifier. It's the best thing we have spent our money on. I completely understand the difficulty in in choosing. Uh, I say go big, but if you're looking for something for a room or a uh house share situation, this Arete One 6L dehumidifier on first impressions is absolutely gorgeous. What do you think? If this is helping, thank you for saying hi down in the comments below. I really appreciate it. There's a link in the description to the 6L model and also some of the other different models if you want to compare like with like. Right here is my playlist for all my dehumidifier videos. Good luck with your choice and good luck with beating the mould this winter.

Samsung SmartTag 2 Battery Low FIX: how to change batteries! Hidden Eject Hole!

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

These things are absolutely brilliant. The Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2. Oh my goodness. This has saved me on so many occasions. I am an ADHD dad and I got these Samsung SmartTag2's to well, basically saved my life. I've put them in my bags. I put them on the car keys, house keys. But you too might be getting these error messages to tell me that the battery is running down. I think when the battery level falls below something like 20%, the Samsung Smart Things app starts kicking off, it starts reducing the power of the tags, which makes them less effective. The the warning tone is definitely quieter and obviously if these things stop, that's going to be completely pointless. It's just going to become a key fob. How do you change the battery in a Samsung Smart Tag 2? I think this works for the smart tags as well. What we need is either a pin or a needle or a push pin or best of all is a phone sim ejector tool. This is a gift to future me. I managed to keep this in an envelope. The SmartTag 2 is designed to be water resistant and also child resistance as well. So, they've hidden the eject button. I was looking on the side, couldn't find it. You will never believe where it is. Let me catch the sun at the right angle. There's the ejector hole. And what I'm going to do is use my SIM ejector tool. My phone tray ejector tool. I'm just going to push that down. Oh, I had to really push hard for that. I don't know whether mine is just sealed up over time or if it's designed to be really tough, but you have to really push it hard. And now we can pull out the battery tray.

Oh, right. So, don't forget it's that side up. And if I flip it over, you can see that that's the negative side. You need the positive side, which is usually where the details of the battery are. And the positive side sits on top of this notch here. So, that's the way up that you want the battery to be. And it's a CR2032. Again, it's another gift to future me. I managed to buy some in the past. You can get these from supermarkets in the UK. I'll show you in a moment what we need to do with the app. But to put the battery into the tray, it just sits on it like that. So the notch is open to the positive side. And then to put this in, I think this can only go in one way. So I'll try and do it the wrong way. That won't go in. So it has to be this way round. So, the positive side goes to the back of the Samsung SmartTag2. You can see there's like a black notch there. And I'll just push it in until it clicks. There. So, that's back in. Oh, it just beeped. I didn't touch it. It just beeps. I've just put the battery in. I've got the Samsung Smart Things app up on screen now. And you can see the battery is sufficient. Nice big green battery logo there. But, will it work? Let me press play on the ringtone to see if Oh, it can find it. So, it it hasn't lost or forgotten the tag, which is great. But if it doesn't find it instantly, I'll put Samsung's instructions on screen now. Congratulations. You have changed the battery in your Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2. I'm calling this delivers success.

Why I'm STOPPING my YouTube Memberships



Sharing exactly why I am turning off YouTube Memberships on my channel, and walking you through the entire disable process in real time! This video is essential if you are monetized, interested in recurring income, or considering YouTube memberships. I have 3 big problems with the feature, focusing on the split call-to-action (Subscribe vs Join button), hiding my best videos behind a paywall, and poor user experience of member-only videos in your feed. Full step-by-step tutorial on how to safely disable memberships and why I choose subscriber growth over recurring membership income. Is this a good move? 

Why I'm STOPPING my YouTube Memberships



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
I am turning off my YouTube memberships on my channel, but I'm also sharing with you why I'm ending YouTube memberships. And I'm doing that in real time so you can follow along. Because if you're not monetized and interested in how you can earn money here on YouTube, or maybe you have memberships and are thinking about this too, for many creators, memberships work brilliantly. It's a way to make a paid exclusive community with reliable recurring income. For me, memberships are a great space to make less formal and quick to make videos, the more experimental stuff, but there's just something that's not working for me. There are many problems that I have with the membership feature, and this is why I'm turning it off now. So, the first problem and probably the biggest right now, if you look at my channel page or videos where you'd usually see the single subscribe button, I was shocked that instead you see a big fat join button. For me, this is a split call to action, which means a new viewer is being asked to do more than one thing. I think my number one priority right now is hitting 100,000 subscribers. It's purely a vanity metric, I know, but it's important to me. The join button, no matter how great the perks are, and we'll get on to that problem in a minute, the join button, I think, pulls focus from what I want the viewer to do and from growing my free subscriber base. And it turns out that is quite important to me. The second problem is hiding my best work behind a pay wall. The whole purpose of this channel, my whole reason for doing it is to encourage as many people as possible, you to make more videos here on YouTube. When I turned YouTube memberships on, I suddenly realized that all the videos I'm making for members only are all videos I actually want as many people as possible to see. By making the videos exclusive, I'm stopping them from doing the work that I want them to do out in the world. I don't want my videos hidden. I think I want them out there helping people. Which brings us on to problem number three, which is how members only videos are presented in viewers feeds. My members only videos and posts appear in your YouTube feed. You might see a great thumbnail if I've, you know, managed to put some effort into it and you click on it and then you're hit with a pay to see screen. For me, I think that's a frustrating user experience. Even worse, that's one impression, one thumbnail that could have been used instead to promote the videos that I want to be seen. All of this works really well for other creators, but having to build up a whole library of videos that no one's watching in the hope that one day it might equal what I would have earned with Google AdSense is a big ask for me. I'm already working for nothing on this. So then to do that again from scratch with no upside for potentially a lot of work, it it just felt like one push too far. I know, I get it. You've got to speculate to accumulate, but I can only make so many videos per month. To then make even more videos or make fewer that instantly pay so I can make the members only videos, it's just too much for me. Your experience may vary and you may have a channel with hundreds of people wanting to pay you directly every month. I just don't think my channel is there yet. Which means let's turn off the YouTube memberships right now. I'm in YouTube studio on a desktop and we are going to click on the earn tab on the left hand side here. These are all the features that I have switched on for my monetized channel. If I click on memberships, and this has been enabled for about five or 6 months now, you can see the hundreds of dollars I'm earning from the thousands of members I've managed to attract to my channel. I did have lots of videos and posts up. I've been slowly removing them from the from the memberships. To end YouTube memberships for your channel, at time of recording, the option is slightly hidden. I'll put a link to the YouTube help article in the description for the latest guidance. All we have to do is click on these three dots next to your memberships offer. Then click on disable channel memberships. This brings up a warning. If you do, you will lose all of your members and any future revenue that you might receive from channel memberships. This action can't be undone. I will tick the box to say I understand and want to turn off memberships for all my fans, all my thousands of fans there. Then we will click on the turn off button. Oh, it's thinking about it. There you go. So, it's reset itself to the splash page that we had before we started memberships. Grow your community and earn monthly. And if you want to restart memberships, I think yeah, you could just go through the process again. I have a video down in the description that walks you through the entire memberships setup process. YouTube will automatically refund members for their last month's payment if their billing cycle isn't complete. I'm really excited about this because it means I can finally release these hidden videos and get those views and watch time and revenue, but it also helps me feel okay about doing more experimental quick turnaround videos in future. Are YouTube memberships something that work for you? Let me know down in the comments below or to just say hi and thank you for hitting the thumbs up button or the subscribe button. It really helps me to keep this channel going and means far more to me than a monthly subscription. And right here is what YouTube knows you want to be watching next.

How much STORAGE does a DJI Osmo Nano camera use?

Welcome to the DJI Osmo Nano SuperNight mode test! I put this specific setting through a rigorous indoor challenge to see how it handles low light footage and the notorious stabilization shudder. I compare every combination of settings: 1080p vs 4K, and Standard vs High bit rate, all while using RockSteady stabilization. Watch the full sample footage from these chest-mounted walks to see if the SuperNight mode really improves the DJI Nano's performance and which bit rate gives you the cleanest output for your vlogging or indoor scenes...

Welcome to my kitchen. This is supernight mode and uh I'm using the internal microphone. It's rocksteady stabilization 25 frames per second and this is on a standard bit rate. So I've not changed the bit rate in the menu settings to high. This is standard bit rate. And I'm... I'm indoors in my kitchen with curtains closed and it's an overcast day outside. So, we've got some windows, but this is just uh to give you a sense of indoors footage using the DJI Osmo Nano camera. I'm going to stick it to my chest and I'm going to walk around and I'm I'm watching it on my on my viewer. So, this is standard Dewarp field of view. I don't know if you're getting the shudders. I'm jumping up and down. I'm really wobbling this camera. Let's go into a dark room. Turn the light on. That's 1 minute.

We are now using a exactly the same settings, supernight mode, but this is at um a high bit rate. So, I've gone into the menu and changed the bit rate to high to see if the footage is any better. Now, I'm shaking the camera. I forgot to say in the last video, it's 1080p. This is 1080p, 25 frames per second. Super night mode, rocksteady. Uh, I'm going to wear it now again. So, clip it to the magnetic lanyard. And I'm still on the internal mic. Can I point it down? It's looking like it's pointing up a bit. There we go. So, I'm going to jog up and down. I'm hoping this will be a good I think I'm hoping this will be the the least suddery. Let's go into the dark room. I didn't quite make it in in under a minute last time. Turn the light on. I'll show you Casper's things. This is Sunday morning in our house. Bit of Aftermath from Saturday night. Now it's 4K. It's still supernight mode. Uh but this is standard bit rate, 25 frames per second, supernight mode. And this is what it looks like indoors in... in our kitchen after a particularly busy Saturday night. You can probably hear my son having a shower next door with his speaker full blown. So, it's a little test of the internal microphone here. If you hear any copyright music, it's uh him to thank for that. But, let's chest mount this now and walk around. Really give it a wobble and I'll pan quickly and we'll go into the utility room. I could have said a pan into the pantry, but we don't call it a pantry. Anyways, Casper's dog biscuits. So, supernight mode 4K standard bit rate.

Now, I am on 4K. So, exactly the same settings as uh as the other videos other than it's rocksteady. It's 25 frames per second, supernight mode, but this is at the high bitrate. So, this is a high bit rate. I'm jogging up and down. Let's go into the utility room, dark room. Turn the light on. Uh do a quick pan. This is all chest mount on the magnetic lanyard. And I'm going to walk around, give it another jog. So, supernight mode. Really um wobbling the camera on my chest. It's the camera that's wobbling, not my chest for a change. And I'm going to let this run for a minute just to just to give you an idea of what this is like indoors moving around. Welcome to our home. It's uh 4K. Can you please help my dad get to 1 million subscribers? Just click on his face. Thanks. Bye. Can we have dinner now?

How to make INSTAGRAM posts PRIVATE and HIDDEN



How do you make an Instagram Post PRIVATE? 
Want to hide an Instagram post or video without deleting it forever? Or set an Instagram post, picture or reel to private? Maybe it's an old embarrassing picture, or a photo you're not sure you want on your profile anymore. While there's no private post button or setting, there's a simple, free workaround: the Archive feature. 
I'll show you how to quickly archive a post so it disappears from your public profile but stays safe in a private folder that only you can see. Plus, I'll show you how to unhide a post if you ever change your mind.

Do you want to hide a post on your Instagram account without deleting it forever? Maybe it's an old embarrassing picture or a photo you're not quite sure you should be posting. You've probably looked for a private post button, but we won't find one. At the moment, Instagram doesn't have a way to make a single post private. When your account is public, all of your posts are public. But there is a simple and effective workaround. It's called the archive feature. And this could be a huge help. Archiving a post removes it from your profile so your followers and the public can't see it. But it doesn't delete it. It's like putting it in a secure private folder that only you can access. We can do this in just a few clicks. Plus, I'll also show you how to get it back if you change your mind. I've got my phone on screen now. Step one, go to your Instagram profile. Scroll down and find the post that you want to hide. 

Click on the post to open it. Then, look for these three dots in the top right hand corner. We'll tap on the three dots and a menu pops up. You'll see an option that says archive. Click on that. The post is immediately removed from your profile grid and it's no longer visible to anyone but you. It's that simple. But where did it go? To find your archive posts, go back to your profile page. Look in the top right hand corner for the hamburger menu with the three horizontal lines. 

Click on that and this menu slides out. Select archive. Make sure you're in the posts archive section and you'll see all the posts you've ever archived. If you ever change your mind and want to unhide a post, it's just as easy. From your posts archive, find the post that you want to bring back. Click on it to open it. Look for the three dots again in the top right hand corner. We'll click there. Now we can see this new option, show on profile. Click on that and the post will reappear on your profile in its original chronological spot with all its likes and comments back on there. It's a great way to keep your feed clean and up to date without ever having to permanently delete anything. If this video helps clean up your Instagram account, thank you for saying hi in the comments below or hitting the thumbs up button. It really helps me get to 100,000 subscribers. So, thanks very much for your help. And right here is what YouTube knows you want to be watching next.

You've found that amazing YouTube Short only to lose it to the algorithm... 
This is the complete step-by-step guide for beginners on how to save YouTube Shorts to a playlist so you NEVER lose them again. I show how to add Shorts to an existing playlist, create a new playlist, and manage crucial privacy settings (Public, Unlisted, Private).

Start organizing your favorite Shorts instantly!

You know when you're scrolling through YouTube shorts and find an amazing video, but then you lose it forever. You try to scroll back to find it, but it's gone. Swallowed up by the algorithm. You can only find it again through your YouTube history. But we can add YouTube shorts to a playlist, which is probably why you're looking this up. As you know, playlists let us save and organize all our favourite shorts. So, we can find them again instantly. And we can also group them by topic or give them any title we like, making it easy to find our favourites later. Plus, even share these videos with a friend or the whole wide world. I've got my phone on screen here. So, let's do this. First, open the YouTube app and find the shorts that you want to save. Once you're on the short, look at the right hand side of the screen. You'll see a series of icons. In the top right hand corner, you'll see three dots. Click on the three dots and a menu will pop up. From this menu, select the option that says save to playlist. A list of all your existing playlists will now appear. You can simply click on the check box next to the playlist you want to add the shorts to. Then click on the bottom here. Done. But what if you don't have a playlist for this topic yet or you want to create a new one? At the top of the playlist list, you'll see a button that says add new playlist. Click on that. Now you can give your new playlist a name. My best air fryer recipes. Below the name, you can set the privacy of your playlist. The options are public. Anyone can see your playlist, which is perfect for sharing your favourites with friends. Unlisted, only people with the link can see it. And private, which means that only you can see the playlist, which is great for personal collections. There's also this toggle switch that says collaborate. If you turn this on, YouTube will give you a special link that you can send to other people. Anyone with this link can then add their own videos to your playlist. It's a perfect way to create a shared playlist with friends for things like a movie night, a road trip, or a collaborative project. Once you have your name and privacy setting, tap create. The short is now saved to your new playlist. To find your YouTube playlist, click on your avatar picture icon in the bottom right hand corner. Scroll to playlists. By the way, there's a plus button here where you can also create a new playlist. But if you click on the button next to that, view all, that brings up all your playlists. To delete your playlist, either click on the three dots on the right hand side of the playlist and choose delete or inside the playlist, click on the three dots in the top right hand corner and choose delete playlist. If this video is helping your YouTube shorts, thank you for saying hi in the comments below or hitting the thumbs up button. And if you subscribe by clicking on my face, you'll see my other videos all about how I'm earning thousands of dollars from my two YouTube channels.

How to link DJI MIC MINI to DJI Osmo Nano camera



Need to connect your DJI Mic Mini to your DJI Osmo Nano camera for better audio? This is a full, step-by-step pairing guide for beginners! I show exactly how to access the dedicated wireless mic settings, use the transmitter's link button, and troubleshoot the common "Osmo Audio not found" error (which is likely due to a previously connected mic). And include a sample audio test to see if the microphone's orientation affects the quality. Get better audio for your vlogging instantly!

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
to connect the DJI Mini Mic to a DJI Osmo Nano camera. I'll turn on the Osmo camera. Hello, I'm here. I'm not just a disembodied voice. We will swipe down from the top into settings. And on the Nano, we have a dedicated wireless mic button. So, I'll click on that. And we have two options. We can either connect the mic mini to the TX1 input or the TX2 input. TX stands for transmitter. Let's choose TX1. And the menu screen here says power on Osmo Audio and pair. There's also a linking guide to guide you through how to connect with the Mic Mini. On the DJI Mic Mini, we will hold down the linking button. It looks like a a chain. And can you see it's blinking off and on blue and green. I'll let go of the link button. It will carry on flashing on those two colors. Oh, now here it says Osmo Audio not found. Now, I think the reason that has happened is because I had my mic 2 connected to this. So, I'm going to hit the reconnect button and it says power on Osmo Audio and pair. So, I'll hold down the link button and it's flashing blue and green alternatively again. And on the camera, it now says Osmo battery level 40% Osmo audio connected. And we have a solid blue light on the microphone here. Beneath this display on the DJI Nano, we have transmitter one settings. So, we can change settings in the microphone from the camera. I won't go through all of them because they will change over time. You can have a play with those yourself. But the one I use a lot is the LED button. So, I can just toggle this LED switch on and off. And I haven't turned the microphone off. I've just turned the LED light on and off because sometimes it's distracting when you're filming. I've now connected the DJI Mic Mini to my Osmo Nano. And this is how the DJI Mic Mini transmitter wireless microphone sounds on my DJI Osmo Nano camera. This is how the the microphone sounds. What's interesting and while we're talking about small cameras with a small microphone, what I found is that it's really easy because it's so small, it's really easy to set it on its side because it's just the the square shape there. So, this microphone's pointing in the other direction. And if I keep talking, hopefully you won't hear too much of a difference, but this is the difference between the microphone pointing out to the side and the microphone oriented towards my voice. I don't know if you can hear a difference there. I'm just saying it's really easy to have this pointing in all kinds of directions because it's so small. It's fantastic.
