TubeBuddy
I use TubeBuddy to grow my YouTube channel. TubeBuddy is a browser extension (aka browser plugin) that adds a layer of tools directly on top of YouTube’s website. After installing TubeBuddy, simply go to YouTube.com and you’ll see our features right inside their site designated by the TubeBuddy logo.
Logitech H111
The Logitech H111 stereo headset is so cheap I didn’t dare to use it at first, but the microphone proved itself otherwise when it comes to recording online courses. It works on both laptops and smartphones. I use it to record my voice.

QUESTION : Is the iphone as two camera feed Lighting Port > dongle with A/C power to iphone and HDMI Out to Yolo Pro the only way to use A/C power . Android smartphones have no such Power-In to HDMI Out to Yolo Pro . This maximizes number of cameras input to Yolo Pro , as the Yolo Pro has more HDMI IN inputs. Thanks Adrian !
There is also a USBC multi adaptor with power and HDMI for high end Samsung phones. Not all Androids.
