Any quick wins since Tuesday that you guys want to share testimonials testimonies like anything that's happening with your channel.
I will look my my followers as the same like every time I go into YouTube, I see I gained at least one to two followers, subscribers, and I'm just like wow we it is something to being consistent.
You were right, and Lindsay were right.
It is rewarding to be consistent so I'm learning that.
Awesome.
I think we're alive. Awesome.
Let's take like just maybe one other share and then we'll jump right into a couple things today.
You must got a win.
Just happy to be here, made it to Thursday, it's almost the weekend.
I have a.
Okay.
Yeah, hey, hey Steve.
Welcome to your first call.
It's a win that I got on. I had time to get online today.
Awesome. I got attend. I can't attend very much because my schedules hectic but I'll make it when I can, but it's great it's good to see you. It's been nice watching like at night when I get to watch the reruns.
Awesome. Good. Yeah, I'm glad we that's why we haven't.
Cool. Glad you can make it.
All right. Someone else was going to share something as well.
Hey, I was gonna share something.
I just had a, I just had an amazing post that I just didn't, it was, I posted Psalms 27 to pray for anxiety and fear, and I just, just did that post, and I read Psalms 27.
And it was I think that was yesterday morning, and by this morning. I have 15,000 view views.
Also, yeah. And I, yeah.
Okay.
Even posting daily.
Yeah, I have just maybe about one day. I, I didn't.
But I've been posting daily and I probably sometimes I post, maybe two videos daily. Okay.
Awesome.
One, when I have is I can now share my tick tock from my phone without it blasting you guys with the sound.
So that's going to be a win.
But we'll get into it here so okay so let me switch this over to speaker okay cool.
So, I just had like two or three things to show you guys.
The first one is, we did some editing on the script. Last week so if you guys, you know, want to try that was just giving you guys a different tool to put in your toolbox that you can use for editing.
And so, the script is great.
I'm going to show you another option that you can do just from your phone. And this is the same tutorial that I think Monica did with, it's called a tool called cap cut a cat, and I'll, I'll show you how that works and if you don't have the studio option
on your tick tock and you couldn't figure out how to get it, and no matter what you did it just didn't show up, you can use this tool has all the same features as the tech talk studio.
And so we'll go through some of that and I'll show you how to add some interesting captions.
There's a, there's an interesting style of captions that are coming out where kind of every word is like maybe every three four words is really big and kind of in your face and they've got emojis and all that.
And I'll pull a few examples there.
Awesome. Yeah, I think the script definitely is free for the first little bit a few hours.
Like there's a limit on how much content you can do but hopefully if you're just doing 60 second tick tocks you should be able to do a lot with it.
Really quickly is that is the time dependent on what was transcribed not how much time we spend playing with it.
It's how much it's the like if you do a 60 second clip it should be a 60 seconds worth of time yeah not if you spend an hour working on it, it shouldn't be timed.
You can use the app as much as you want it's just the total time of your, the output, I guess.
How many minutes it's transcribing yeah.
Is that one time Bruce or is that all together.
That is, I think it's a monthly.
Okay.
I was kind of like saving it up,
thinking that it was three hours flat.
You're saying three hours monthly for free.
I think it's, I believe so. If not, I think it jumps to like a 15.
I did.
I can look at it real quick.
Make sure clear that up.
Okay.
$12 for three hours monthly.
$12 gets you 10 hours each month.
So yeah.
So free.
Hours.
Yeah. It's enough to just try it on the free plan to see if it's
something you like.
It's definitely as far as.
Tools go. It's pretty, pretty cheap.
So.
I want to show you. Okay.
Let's just show you this one style. So this is just a guy.
This is not a kingdom messenger.
This is just a business guy that I had seen this tech talk.
So I'm going to show it to you guys. See that. Okay.
Yeah.
So you see how this like text comes in. Like it's basically all caps.
As he's talking, it has like.
You know,
Different colors and greens got some emojis.
It's pretty engaging. Like, even if you're not hearing his voice,
like it kind of sucks you in and you can actually get some value from
it.
So I'll show you how to do that in.
In one app called CapCut.
And how we can bring it back in.
So.
You guys can follow along if you want. There's this app.
Right up here.
I'll circle it.
This one here. It's called cap.
Cap cut.
And I believe it's for Android and.
iOS. If it's not, I'm very sorry.
We'll find you an alternative for Android, but for iOS.
This is where it is.
And it's very, very simple.
Okay.
So I'm going to go ahead and just do it from totally from scratch.
And you guys are welcome to, you know, grab the.
A clip of some kind.
And I think I have something from Lindsay somewhere here.
Here we go.
So Bruce, we need to go to app store to buy.
To sign in for this.
Yeah, let me grab.
And they do have like.
They do have a desktop one as well.
And there is a Google play.
So I just saw the Google play pop up.
Drop that link.
That's not it.
That's just something random.
There you go. That's Google play.
And let me grab.
And here's the iOS one.
So they have a desktop version. There's a.
iPhone one. There's an iPad one.
This is pretty much one of the most.
More popular ones. Those are the two links.
Down there.
So.
I'm jumping back to my screen share here.
We're going to kind of recreate this.
Template here. So.
This is hopefully looking very familiar, right?
Like we've got the text. I mean, the image at the top,
the video at the top, and then we can add audio.
So we're not going to add the music in here.
We're going to do that in Tik TOK.
So I'm going to click on the text here.
The very bottom called auto captions.
And so if I click on auto captions,
it's going to go through and immediately make some captions for me.
Now for a 60 second clip.
This is a, this is a bit of work for 60 seconds.
Cause you doing a lot of spoken word.
You're sharing a lot of words, right?
So it's going to be a lot of.
To edit and to get it just right.
And you can edit it for more than one thing.
So I'm just going to click on edit style.
So don't feel like you have to do this for every video,
but it's just something.
Obviously you can edit and do all the other things you'd want to do
in here. I'm just kind of showing you kind of one of the cool things
you can do here.
Okay. So I just hit this kind of like the easy button.
So I just hit it and you can see already.
There is text up here. So it's, it's changing there.
For each text.
I can see she's starting there. So one thing I'll do just immediately,
as always is trim.
Right to her first second where she says.
And I wonder if since I can't hear it at all, I'll have to go by her.
So she kind of starts.
This is what I pray. I don't know how to pray.
So I can actually tap on that text.
And I can move this around.
And I can pinch and zoom.
So I'll just pinch and zoom this.
And if I tap into it.
and hit style, I can actually change the break here.
So I can say this, so you can see, I can like break it.
This is what I pray.
When I don't know how to pray,
I want that on a different line.
So I can actually grab that.
And then there's different styles here.
So you can pick from this kind of area down here
for different styles, just kind of based on what your,
you know, how your, what's, what the, your lighting,
is it dark? Is it light?
Some of these may look better than others.
And then what else am I going to do?
That's good.
So I'll leave that one like that.
And you can see it's going to come up like that.
And then when I go to the next one,
it's actually going to change.
It's changed them all that way.
So what I'm going to do is click on this one,
hit style when I don't know what to pray.
So I could just leave it like that.
I can also change it now.
So it'll be like, oh, sorry.
One thing you got to do,
I did figure this out last night,
is there's a little option here
that says apply to all captions.
So you do want to turn that off at some point.
That way, when I do turn it like this, just a little bit,
it's going to just do it for this clip.
So you see how it's like, this is what I pray.
Let me make this a little smaller.
And then it goes to that.
So it's like, and often I don't know what to pray.
So this is a very long clip.
I don't know if I would actually do this,
but for the sake of showing you guys, you can go through it.
Now you can spend as much time on this as you want.
If you, for example, clicked on just the word circumstances,
I can say edit style and I can make that red, for example.
The goal is not here to have like a pretty looking thing
when you're done.
It's to have something that's really effective
and grabs people's attention.
So I can even highlight the,
I don't know if it'll let me do that for just the one word,
but let's take it back to this one.
So again, you can make it look unreadable
as fast as you can make it look high impact.
So just kind of play with it and see what looks good.
You can go down.
So now I've got like, this is what I pray.
I don't know what to pray.
And now the other thing you can do is add,
I think I can add a image or some sort of, let's see effect.
I want not that bubble.
You can do it.
I mean, there's lots of fun things here.
I won't go into all the things you can do,
but like I can put it in a bubble if you wanted to, right?
So if I tap on this one and I click bubble
and I kind of have it like this,
you can see it's kind of styling it for me.
And then I can, you know, reorient that however I want,
maybe something wider like that.
So they got a lot of little templates here.
And again, the goal is to make it look kind of to stand out
and to interrupt that feed,
especially for the first five to 10 seconds of your video,
just to really grab people's attention.
And so you can definitely spend a lot of time doing this.
I'm not saying it's going to necessarily like
all of a sudden give you a ton of views,
but it would be something to experiment with,
especially if you don't have the studio option
and you're really wanting to edit them on your phone,
this would be a great way to do that.
So let me grab text.
Oh, it's called the sticker.
So let me grab like, I don't know if I can,
like search for an emoji, but let's see here.
Oh, these are just like regular emojis.
So I could go find, like if I had some time,
I would go find the prayer emoji
because she's talking about prayer.
And, oh my goodness, are there a lot in here?
So I guess there's no way to search,
but let's just grab something kind of general real quick.
So you could grab a little emoji like that.
I can close that.
And again, you can tap on it and I can,
I should be able to move this if it cooperates.
And it's placed it there for me.
So I'm going to tap on that
and just kind of move it to where I want it.
So you can kind of decorate it.
So while this is a little bit painful,
I get it to, so I can make this really big.
And, you know, you can turn it and stuff.
So, okay, that may not be the right emoji.
But if she's, if she was talking about prayer and I took the time to find the prayer one,
that could be it. So it's just, it's a, it's just a different way to communicate with people. A lot
of us use emojis in our texts anyway. It's like part of the English language now. So for better
or for worse, it's what it is. So that is one thing. So you can also draw on this. So if you
wanted to draw, you know, something, this may not make sense for this. Let's just go back to like,
let's say she had a scripture on there. You could, if you could just, you know, pretend
we had a scripture, you can grab, like, you could just circle the scripture like that.
And now you'll see like, it'll be there. And then this will kind of come on.
And you could even take it one step further and add animation to it.
And then go to, like, bounce in. So you see how it kind of, like, animates. So now it kind of
pops in like that. So if she was like that, and you can always, you know, it's not permanent,
you could circle. Or if I wanted to circle the word, like, you know, always, I wanted to really
emphasize the word always, I could, you know, do that. So while she's, when she says it, it just,
like, you know, really emphasizes that. So yeah, so like I said, the TikTok captions are very,
are very simple. Like, they just typically just text underneath. And those are just being added
by the app. I'll show you another way to do something kind of similar in Instagram. There's
a sticker that you can use that will do these giant captions. So this is just for a very specific
style, like this, this guy here. And of course, you could keep tweaking it. And it's just really
big in your face. And, you know, again, he's talking about, like, business entrepreneurship
stuff. So not the, not necessarily our, our audience. And that's it. When you're done,
just to show you how easy this is, you would hit the top right. And it goes through and it exports
this. And when it's finished, it has a button that pops up and says, like, do you want to post
this on TikTok? And you hit yes. And then it, like, preloads it for you on TikTok. So it's
really, really smooth. And I believe this is free. Did anyone, I think there's a way you can upgrade
and get a paid version. Okay, so there you go. So when it's done, check out how easy this is.
It's, it just asks you, like, do you want to share the TikTok? You can send it to Instagram.
So I'll say share to TikTok. It'll take it over my TikTok account. And it loads it. See,
like that right into TikTok for you. So that was just one tap. And now it's got all the edits and
everything happening. Obviously not going to post this because it's kind of not, not ideal,
not finished. But so yeah, someone said the captions in here, if you do process these
captions, let me just let it run. It just sort of places them down here. And I don't think you
can really move them. Yes, good call, Michelle. I was, that was, I was going to get to that.
But yes, if you go to the studio or adjust clips, you go to the very end, there's a silly little
logo that comes up at the end. And so you just, all you got to do is just trim that off. That's
why that's free, right? Nothing's ever really free. They're doing some, like, free advertising.
So look at that. I just trimmed it off and no one will ever know, except for the little,
there's like a CapCut tag that will get added to your content. But that, it's not, that's not too
bad. Cool. So I'll save that. Bruce, is this the one where Monica said you can blur the background?
I believe so. Yeah, I believe that's an effect. Let's go back. So if I click on her video,
I think that's an effect. Or there's a, oops, sorry, wrong app. I think you can remove background.
There you go. It's kind of cool. Just if you were in like a very bad setting, you could actually,
actually cut you out. But especially for people with long hair and Lindsay's curly hair,
these tend to not, they kind of, like, you'll see it kind of around her eye.
Hair is going to be a little frizzy, but it's still kind of cool.
What about just blurring, like, just like smoking the background a little bit?
Oh, yeah. So we can, I think it's, you can, so let me just undo that.
It's either a filter or it's a, or it's an effect. Let me just check real quick.
Don't think I've ever, is that if someone does know, you can jump on, tell me I'm doing it.
Okay, I think it is going to be a filter here.
I wish that they would let you, these are just kind of color filters.
So it may also be on the paid one, maybe what she had as well.
So it may be, may be good.
I will figure that out.
I don't want to take too much time here for you guys.
Okay, I don't want to do this.
Go back.
Yeah, but I believe it's going to be in style and it get it may just be I'm on the free
plan just because I wanted to show you guys what it would look like free but we're probably
a whole tutorial here we could do on like coloring and lighting and all of that fun
stuff like you can make this very bright.
You can make it, you know, play with the exposure, saturation, you can make it black and white.
I would try to keep it as natural as possible.
So don't go crazy if you do want to brighten it up or darken it or something that whatever
looks good.
You can do that.
But yeah, that's that.
If she showed you how to do that, then great.
I just wanted to kind of touch it.
There is like a, I don't even know what this does.
So you can like this is like putting makeup on.
So it's maybe a little hard to tell over zoom, but you can do like a retouch.
And it kind of just takes any blemishes or anything on your face, and it kind of just
smooths it over a little bit of kind of, it just does a little blur is all it does.
But you can do all kinds of stuff like you can, I'm not gonna mess with too much of this
stuff.
But there's all kinds of things you can kind of tweak in there, kind of funny but
Okay, now I really want to find the blur thing but that is that's how you'd edit it
as far as the captions go.
And it gives just gives you an alternative way to then these kind of boring white captions
here at the bottom.
And also people can turn their captions off and on, they don't always see that.
It's just if the user has their captions turned on, then it will show up like this.
So I want to show you guys one other thing that I thought was cool for captions in Instagram.
And let's go back, we'll do the exact same clip here.
Sorry, here we go.
Okay, so we'll hit add.
Oh.
Okay, so here's Lindsay's video.
So there is a sticker option at the top here, and you can hit captions.
So it's going to transcribe it again, but these just you've probably seen these before.
But these just look a little bit more interesting than the tick tock ones.
And check that out.
I think for spoken word options like this is a great way to go because it's so easy
to read.
And there's different styles here.
So you can have it type on like that, which I think is maybe a little distracting.
I like the bold has even has this kind of scrolling title teleprompter style.
You can also change the text.
So there's like, oops, sorry, let me get back.
So you can see at the top, right top, top up here, I hit the styling of the text.
So you can just tap on it, and it will put a white background behind, or it'll be clear.
So I can just leave it with white.
And then maybe I want to change the color to red, or we'll say blue.
And we'll tap off of this, hit done, done.
And again, some of the words get missed.
So Lindsay typically gets, like for the word peace, I've seen the P-I-E-C-E verse P-E-A-C-E.
So just keep an eye on that, because that would obviously look, that would be not great.
So that does let you adjust it a little bit.
And you can kind of shrink it down.
You can scale it up as big as you want.
What's cool about this is it's just very engaging, I think.
And I didn't even have to like sit there and time all of it.
So maybe you're like, maybe you should have showed this to us first.
But this is how it goes.
And then.
Next, let's go back here.
So what you can do then is when you're done with this,
I can actually put that in Instagram
and then bring it from Instagram without any music.
I can bring that into TikTok if you want.
So I could save a draft here and then go over to my drafts
and come back to that later and download that if you wanted to.
So cool.
Yeah, for Michelle, yeah, you can blur one and remove the background.
You know, that's a smart.
That's how you would just have to duplicate it.
So kind of a fancy way of doing it.
It's not like a motion blur is definitely for like action.
Kind of like where there's a lot of movement,
it'll kind of blur things just a little bit to make it look like it's moving faster.
But there's that.
Cool.
Those are captions.
I just wanted to give you guys two different ways
to add some more interesting captions for spoken word content
where it's just you're just sharing advice.
You're just sharing stuff like having these words like emphasized.
It can be really powerful and really engaging.
So a little extra time as always.
But this is probably something you could spend time on.
I would at least do something like the Instagram captions.
And then if not, you could definitely get into it
and do all kinds of stuff with the CapCut option.
So.
Bruce, I'm not sure if you saw my post advice.
In signing into CapCut, it asked me to allow them to track my activity.
You could just say no.
Okay, so that's shown up a lot.
So is that just kind of a standard say no to it?
Yeah, I generally don't.
I mean, if it doesn't need to know your location, that's fine.
You can always, if you're on an iPhone,
like go to settings here and go down to privacy.
And then I will look at things like location services.
And this is every app on my phone that is using,
that needs to know where I am.
So not all of these need to know where I am.
Like this Filmic Pro, for example,
it doesn't need to know my precise location.
And it definitely doesn't even need to know my location at any time.
There's other apps, like if you're using Maps or something,
yes, the Maps are going to need to know exactly where you are
if you're getting directions somewhere.
But if you scroll down, like you can see all these apps
will give you the option.
They have to give you the option there to opt out
if you don't want them knowing that.
So even if you didn't know if you did select it or didn't select it,
you can come back into the services here under privacy and make that change.
So this was asking about tracking my activity
across other companies' apps and websites.
Yeah, you can opt out of that for sure.
Bruce, I have a question.
Yeah.
Descript, I've got it on my computer.
I haven't tried it yet, but can I also put it on my phone?
And will they, will the same, if I have it on my phone,
will I sign in with the same password?
What happens there?
So I think it's just for desktop.
Oh, is it? Okay.
Yeah, unfortunately, it's actually is based in the cloud.
So I don't know why they wouldn't eventually have it on the phone,
but it is fairly new.
Well, I did.
No, I didn't try it, but I found something interesting.
YouTube, I put all my Instagram and TikTok last night on YouTube,
because I created one that was a video that they had with words on.
And YouTube now is doing the reels.
Just automatically put it to shorts, which before I haven't managed to do.
From Instagram to YouTube?
No, no.
I put it on Instagram and it worked really well on TikTok.
And I put it on YouTube.
The only thing with YouTube, I couldn't figure out how to do the music.
The music is much more limited.
Well, I couldn't get it to do the music.
It has all the songs, but you click on it and it doesn't make any difference.
It doesn't affect the video.
Yeah, I have.
So we've been, I've been cheating a little bit
and just taking the finished edited version from TikTok
and sharing that on YouTube and have not had any problems with it.
So do that at your own risk.
You know, sometimes it works great.
But like, for example, I'm on YouTube now.
So if I chose this video, it's already got the music in it.
It's already got the text.
It's already got the captions.
It's already edited.
So I did something.
This is for Notion.
And I did a little emoji.
And I did the text just to kind of go through this as a experiment.
And so this has already been posted, but there is a place to add the music.
It's not going to play it for me right now because I got the sound just turned off, but
you can hit add.
Oh, there's me.
Add sound.
And then once you choose it, it'll play it and then you would hit this blue button there
to add it.
OK.
Add it to your thing.
I don't know why it feels like it needs to be.
OK.
Yeah.
So that's that's good.
Yeah.
So the app cut is for the phone and the descript is for the laptop.
Yes.
And they're two just very different.
Like one is very you can do kind of the same thing with all video editors.
This just lets you gives you kind of a different just different ways, whichever style like
the descript is like editing a word doc and they do all the video for you, whereas CapCut
and, you know, DaVinci and some of those all the other editing apps are more like they're
just putting a video on a timeline and then they're doing you know, you're kind of adjusting
things on that.
So OK.
Now, I have one more question.
I posted something on TikTok, a video, and it has a little bit on the end.
I wanted to edit out, but it didn't come up with the the editing where you could squeeze
it in.
Now, usually it does, but it didn't today.
On Instagram or you say?
No, this was TikTok.
OK.
Usually it does.
And you can just squeeze in one end and cut the end off, which is what I wanted to do.
And was that in the.
Did you do you have the studio option that's right here.
It was normal Instagram, you go on Instagram, you click on your profile, you click on that.
OK.
Oh, from Instagram.
Yeah, let's go.
No, I'm sorry.
Did I say Instagram?
Yeah.
It's OK.
There's just like four different platforms.
We're talking about that.
No, no, no.
TikTok.
Yeah.
If I try to upload.
Yes, I will get the pictures come up, I will upload it and it comes up with no ability
to cut any of it off.
Do you have something called adjust clips there?
There's an audio editing.
Let me go back here.
Oh, yes, yes.
Thank you.
It does.
Oh, OK.
OK, thank you.
That solved my problem.
OK, perfect.
Yeah.
Everybody's looks a little different.
So if you're looking for the studio, it's not there.
It should say adjust clips.
And usually, usually it comes up automatically.
Got it.
That's good.
Great.
Sorry, that emerged.
I had that same problem and I do have just put my, you know, the little white part that you bring in.
It, it looks like it's cut off but then the video cuts off but it goes, it just goes with the caption for a long time after that no matter what I do it won't.
And yes, I have, I have had this problem and I tried to fix it.
I don't have like a instant fix.
So the way, the way I got it stuck like that is I had a 60 second piece of music, like I had added a sound, that was 60 seconds.
And then I went back and I tried to edit the video down to let's say like 50 seconds. It would just, it would just keep it to 60 seconds so what I had to do that to delete the sound, edit it, and then add the sound afterwards.
So, see if that's does it for you.
But yes, I got stuck in that for a long time and wasted a long bit of time so I know exactly what you're talking about. Yep.
Denise, you had a question.
Yeah, I'm I have a basic question because I'm a little overwhelmed, one of the earliest probably, and you can refer me to if you've addressed this before and not take time today, but I don't know how to get into analytics I mean I got into analytics,
but I can't seem to figure out how to get into that screen that you showed us where you can actually look at your analytics and make sense of it.
of of tick tock.
Yeah, yeah. Okay, I went to talk.com forward slash analytics, but it on the website.
Yeah, I don't know how to do it from my phone at all but yeah, so you would go, I'll show you both ways so the top here, the top three little lines that are up here, you would click that and then you click creator tools.
You would click analytics up here.
Okay.
So now I can see how many video views, and it's, this is within the last seven days right here.
Last 28 days.
There we go.
Total shares total likes analytics Okay, I think I got that.
And then it says, right, okay got that and then.
But there's something about that I saw online one time I don't know how to get back to it about at 1% market drop stuff and this is where you're losing your audience.
Yes.
Yeah.
So I think if you go to a particular video.
I can see they're here. So there it is retention right.
You go to the video.
Yeah, so sir content so you go to the content tab up here.
And then, yeah, so just to talk, well I'll share, kind of, if I'm going to tap on this one that is 1500.
And you'll see all the stats are just this so this is a 60 second video but it has been watched as if someone sat there for four hours and 18 minutes so that's a, that's a lot.
But when I scroll down.
You can see this is retention so what is retention.
If you tap on the little I there it'll give you a little definition the percent of viewers who are watching your video at a particular time.
It's only works for the first three minutes that's the only time they care about, but you're only not even doing three minutes you're just, I've got a 60 seconds so you can see that I think if I tap on here.
Remember we said the first three or four seconds are important. Hopefully this is like setting, you know, becoming clear for everybody.
32%. So 68% of people are leaving before we reach the five second mark.
So, because they don't know, you know, so they're figuring out this is not for me. And you can see it drops off extremely fast because think of how much time like the tick tock comes up, and it's like one, two, and they scroll back up.
You know, and they scroll on so that's one or two seconds and they bounce. So, if we take a look at this graph down here so I see like only 4% of people made it to the very end.
The first five second drop off is totally normal. And so, but you'll see, let's maybe jump to a different video. This one did really well.
This wishlist one.
There we go. That's much better. See, like the other one kind of went down like this. Right. It was. So what this means is more people stayed for longer and longer.
The reason why I think this is looks better is because this is only 19 seconds the other one was 60 seconds.
So that's part of it is doing this by short content, not just less than 60 seconds but 15 seconds 20 seconds like tried different lengths of content because different things will hook different people and it'll get your viewership.
This videos had 26,000 views, but it was only 20 seconds.
So, it works, it worked well so, but we're experimenting with some of the ones that are longer the 60 seconds aren't doing as well as the ones that were 15 seconds.
So, yeah, there's a lot you can learn with the analytics, you do if you just started your account you need I think about a week to 10 days before it starts to show you stuff.
We just launched this like a week and a half ago so this is the first time I'm actually able to see the analytics.
Yeah, I do actually it's actually showing me my analytics.
Right. And if I go to the website side.
You can go to tick tock.com slash analytics.
Oh, and I'll have to sign in real quick.
So once I'm in here.
You can go up to the top and then just click on analytics right there.
And it's a little bit easier to kind of see all the numbers, I think.
1300 views 1300,000 drop down here to. So we didn't post. We didn't post on these two days so that's why you should be posting every day.
And then we see we didn't hadn't started the account till then.
And we just had one we had like our third post went semi viral with 20,000 plus.
And then everything else has been kind of dropped down again so anyway.
The same thing you go to content you can click into this.
And you can see the average watch time was 14 seconds, the average person, you know, total watch time and you can just kind of click between them here so two different ways to get to the exact same screen whichever one you prefer.
Okay, so in the top right corner, show me where you did it again.
Screen up here and then yeah you just go to analytics, or was it was that.
Because I would have seen it. So you went to.
You went to your account. I can't find what account I can't even find the information on what account I'm in like what my address is.
It's, it's crazy. I don't know. Okay.
Basic stuff. Well, the phone will be easy. It should be in the right, either one.
Okay, you don't want to, you don't have to like change your entire strategy, based on a few analytics you see but it's just good to know it should just be encouraging to you guys that it's that what you're putting out there is working so.
I have a little emoji in my top right on the tech online, and it says view profile get coin settings English, it doesn't have analytics.
So you can try to just go to tick tock.com slash analytics. What does that do.
I think what I did. Okay, hold on, let me try that again. Yeah, and so.com slash analytics.
Right.
Okay, so that.
That takes me to.
Okay, so there's this weird little figure on the top right and then.
Hold on, well it's just loading slowly, so you go on.
Okay.
That sounds like tick tock.
Awesome.
Okay, so we can. That was all I had as far as teaching something new today.
I'm happy to take any tech questions you guys have about anything that we talked about. If you guys want me to look at your accounts like we could try to give some feedback on some videos, whatever you need so let's just go to Bobby, and we'll come back.
I don't know Denise if you still had a question.
You're good. Okay, so Bobby.
Okay, so I had trouble doing the YouTube, and I was so encouraged by what Marian said I, I, I tried but then I, I couldn't use the tool very well and.
So, what you're saying is to go to just go ahead and take your whole tick tock, but is it okay to have a little icon on there, and just upload that YouTube is that okay.
So, yeah, I've seen people do it as people not do it.
I've tried it with and without, I feel just like it is not a scientific measurement precise but it feels like I'll get more views when I don't have the tick tock logo it seems like it works better than the algorithm so if you have time, you know, take time to like,
strip out. You can take the finished video from tick tock and then use something like that snack snap tick app will, it'll take the exact video with the music and just strip out the little logo as a way to remove the logo so that that would be kind
of a compromise where you don't have to re edit the whole thing or change the captions, but that snap tick.
This is just like a free little website that will rip a video down, but you wouldn't, you wouldn't take the Instagram one because the music might conflict with YouTube.
You think I'm better.
It's not good advice to do it, I'd say, I'd rather it be posted that way, as is to the other platforms and not posted at all, if that makes sense so like there's kind of different you can either just do it on tick tock or you can do a tick tock with
a copy of the same video music and everything to everywhere else. And if you have even more time, then go and post it separately, you know and edit them on each platform if you have time but those are three options to experiment with.
Depends on how much bandwidth you have and time.
Cool. Okay. Amy, you had a question?
Yes. Okay. A couple of nights ago, I was answering some comments on a reel on Instagram that had a lot of views probably is like the top one.
And there was kind of a controversial, I mean, it wasn't controversial, it was a religious comment, you know, and so it's one of those that drew the comments of other listeners and watchers, you know.
And as I was answering, it said this video is no longer available for viewing.
Oh, yeah.
And then I got a notice that, you know, in my notification saying that it had been taken down for not following community guidelines.
And there was, I mean, truly, I mean, it was about the Holy Spirit.
Yeah, I was just, it was probably someone like reported it, is what happened, like, because you could anyone can report any video, it's like a...
I saw that when I went in trying to fix it. So is there a way to fix that?
So what you can do is, if it gets reported, sometimes it just like does a quick check just look for some keywords if it is it'll just take it right off. There's not a human that's looking at it so don't feel like someone looked at it was like this is not
appropriate. It's probably just a bot.
So what I would do is sometimes they have a way, if you can see it or if you got a notification anywhere and it says that it got removed. Sometimes there's a way you can dispute it.
And then you can share that but yeah that is part of the bigger, you know, topic people. Part of the world. Yeah, we're using the platforms and like they always have the right to censor whatever they feel isn't working so.
Did you read, I mean I read all their community guidelines and I thought nothing I said interfered with. Yeah, no it's probably just the comments, like people's comments got, you know, off color or whatever and so they, that's where they cut it,
they, you know, they just saw like there was a lot of dispute and arguments they just judged what you're, they didn't even look at what your video was they probably just looked at the comments.
Yeah, which I didn't comment on on any of those, but okay so would you repost it or just repost it 100% repost it yeah just keep doing it again.
Pray that whoever reported it won't have to see it again. Yeah, I mean, it's such a odds are the people who watched the first time they never see it the second time.
There's one question.
Is this your account.
Okay, there was like a few Amy.
Yeah, my daughter in law is another Amy Riburn.
Oh, didn't know there were some more. Okay.
That's my personal account. My other. This one was shown, probably from Instagram because it was before I started posting on my actual page bound by love with Amy Riburn.
Let me see here on here.
Yes. Nice.
Oh yeah, is this one, not the 23,000 one.
No, no, it would not show up there. Okay, well obviously it's been removed, but, but now but it wasn't even on my page, it wasn't even it was not what because you know those don't your reels do not appear, unless you post them there or at least
that changed. So, it never was put up on my page. Okay, I see.
I may put it up on my page, you know, that'll just go to my followers, I'll just repost it.
I would say, you know, if it happens again.
It's very unlikely it'll happen again if it does that I maybe wouldn't do it a third time. Okay, yeah, no, I don't want to get it, get something you know, a black mark on my account for doing that, but okay.
Well,
it's a thing it's a real thing.
Yes. Oh yeah, for sure. It's definitely.
Can so one quick suggestion here.
You have, I don't know why this link is there.
Don't either.
Because that's just linking basically to the page you're looking at so I would change that so that's Instagram. Yeah. Oh, I can change that to
my solo to. Yeah, you're so late.
Exactly. Yep.
even notice that. Okay, nice. These look good. Awesome. Okay,
so that video is still on Instagram. Yeah, I didn't realize
I thought you're on Facebook. So yeah, no one. I'll show you
which one it is. If you scroll up. I mean, scroll down. It's
not too far down. My hair is in a like a ponytail bun kind of
thing. And I'm wearing blue. This one right here. And it
didn't even I mean on Instagram, it didn't get as there's no
comments. Yeah, this was on this was on Facebook. When that
when it shared over to Facebook is when there were all those
comments going on.
Got it. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'll try it again. And
then just see. See if you get let us know how it goes.
Okay, thank you. Okay. And then I think Gloria.
Did she go away? Oh, did you say Maria or Gloria? Go? There
you go. You're good. You just disappeared off my list
somewhere. So okay, cool.
Just really quick. I don't know what you think about this. But
if I get some kind of comment from, you know, because there's
so much spiritual warfare. And there's going to be people that
are just going to want to our time. And so when I discern
something that you know, somebody just posting something
and it's just, you know, it's just take away from what God is
doing. I just remove the comment right away. I don't even
respond. I don't even anything because I can see that it's just
a ploy of the enemy to, to try to bring just, you know, just
just kind of try to deviate to what God wants to deliver.
Yeah. So did you have a question or just asking?
I wanted just to get some feedback on my, my tik tok and
you know, my Yeah, so if you could, that would be awesome.
Um, no problem. Do you mind just dropping your other areas?
Anyway, yours is it's here. I'll pull it up. Yeah. So just
responding to the first thing. Yes. 100% you can block, you
can delete people immediately. Don't have to be nice about it.
We typically will delete and then and then block that person
forever from our account, depending on how aggressive you
want to be. So those are all options. So cool. Let's see
here. This is good. So you do have 1000 followers. Have you
been able to add a link to the top in your profile?
I was it on my name? Was it adding to my name something?
No, so it should, it should add like a link down here. Yeah.
Because I don't have a website or anything.
You're gonna use the solo dot to site, maybe American grab the
link to that solo video. There's a little video on how to set it
up on TV. So she'll drop it in the comments and then
that'll be in there.
Whatever you're sharing on the comments, will you be sharing
that?
Yes, let me let me show you guys.
Yeah, if I if I can't get it on the comments right now.
So we go like a step further than just the comments. But you
can thank Tamara for this. But if you go to a video, there's
the video is gonna be at the top here. Yeah. And then be like,
here's like she actually, Tamara takes time to like format
this. So you can see like, who shared the wins. Like we talked
about the script, there's some bullet points. It's basically
like if someone took notes on the whole meeting, and then we
did q&a. And then all the links that are shared are right here.
So it's really nice. And that should be there for each each
week. So that is also there's all Lindsay's like scriptures
she read on Tuesday. So all of that. So you can kind of just
skim through that if you if you missed my email to you as well.
I believe once a week. So those notes will get emailed in our
like weekly update. Oh, great. Cool. And there's the Yeah, so
there's a link she just shared there. But that'll help you set
up what we call like solo. Solo. That's here's it's just a free
free site. So I'll just show you Lindsay's real quick. I think
you may be in the car driving, but you can see here it says
solo.to. So that would actually show up like under your thing
here. And if you have nothing else to send people to you can
just send them to your from Tick Tock to Instagram or Tick
Tock to YouTube, or whatever thing. So we just have this we
have some upcoming
events for the kingdom messenger stuff on hers and then, you know, we have watch all episodes on YouTube watch on tick tock, you know, whatever, there's just some different things we're promoting so.
Okay, great. Okay, great.
These look good. I mean, I think you're doing great.
Let me take a look at one of these that are doing well.
Did you have a particular one, you're needed feedback on.
Well, you know, let's just take the last one. The last two days.
I actually was a big concern of posting that because I thought maybe that my voice was a bit, you know, too, too much too strong.
But I'm not sure the analytics.
I didn't make that a bit long. That was almost like two minutes. And I don't know if they just the analytics would be great.
Yeah, I mean you have 16 tell me about if it's if I'm talking too fast.
Yeah, so, I mean, it looks like you just posted this 24 hours ago but so one thing, the fact that it's longer. And again, you can come back and watch this because I'm looking at some stuff on the screen, so you probably can't see the screen but you can
see that the engagement percentage is a lot higher. So yeah, this one only has 230 views, and then 16% engagement this has 16,000 views but only 7% engagement so now more people probably saw this just because those two numbers are so different.
Those two numbers are 14 10% engagement 1513 26. So this one, I would want to go back and look at, because of the 200 people that saw it like 26% of people were like engaged and that was very active so let's just see it maybe.
So immediately I know that's one of the contributing factors because because it was shorter and tick tock wants to see people engaged. So if you see very low number there's 37%, that's great.
One here that's 8%.
Even though it was 1000 views so just go look at those numbers again it's not to say like don't ever post content like that again, it just means maybe even repost it.
If you want again but maybe edit it a bit shorter or just reshoot that same thing but make it shorter.
Where am I looking at for engagement and what is the engagement, when you're saying 3037% or 27%. What, what does that mean that that's 27% of the video, they actually watched.
Yeah, it's basically if they liked or commented or shared of the views. So, a view isn't the only metric, like just having 1000 people view.
If you had 20% engagement, it means that 20% of the people. So 200 people of the thousand liked it or shared it or commented in some way engaged in some way.
What is a good, what is a pretty good engagement.
Anything over 20 I mean 20 to 30% is great. Yeah. I mean there's nothing there's not a rule it's more like just looking at it relative to your other videos.
Lindsay's is all hovering around 2026 21 1919, but there's, I would kind of skim this to see which ones are the outliers like one of these dropped to 15%.
So we can see that one's just cropped a little bit tighter. So maybe that could be the way it was edited.
I'm not seeing anything that's an outlier here.
Someone asked, so Joe asked how do I see the engagement. I think this is coming through vid IQ on my, you can get vid IQ is just a Chrome extension.
You can get particularly useful for YouTube.
But, awesome yeah if you go back and watch that Gloria later, you'll see all the details of what I'm pointing to, and it'll make a little more sense.
Okay, great.
Okay.
And then let's go to Susie's had a question.
Yeah, just a simple one, I'm finally getting on to Instagram and opening it up and it says Instagram, allow Instagram to access your camera and microphone.
That makes me nervous, and I make selected ones on my, you know, in my photos but then those didn't come across so do I just need to say okay allow Instagram to access, access my camera.
Yeah, you may not ever need your camera.
And you don't have to share your camera, it's just if you're going to record it in Instagram.
You can record it on Tick Tock or put it on your camera app.
like upload it to Instagram that's that's you won't ever need to use your camera.
Okay so then I okay going back here um so how do I get past that? Okay so I just hit the little x
then and and then I will be able to post that I was able to get one up I'm not sure exactly how I
did it but I would like to be able to um import a file instead of just importing so what's on my
camera is the raw stuff not the edited stuff. Okay so how did you edit it? If I edit it um
well yes I was editing it on TikTok and I think that's the one that I uploaded to Instagram was
the TikTok and all and not doing the snap tick but if you did one like on DaVinci or on Descript
don't you get like a file wonder or you know? Um yes so you'll have a file at the end and you'll
just move it back so I think I think you have uh iCloud set up I think we had done it another time
right um and you could just put it into an iCloud folder and then you could grab it from
your phone um you could go to the files app on your phone and then just grab it there and then
one of the options will be to save it to your photos um boxes so that it will be just ready
there for uh Instagram. Okay so I have a feeling okay I've got files I've never really paid
attention to files okay um so that's just like files on on the computer. Okay right so um and I
okay I'm grabbing this video at the top left here um and one of the options is once I click on it
and open it if you go to the bottom down here okay little arrow um see it says save video uh-huh so
if you save the video it will move it to your uh to your your uh your photo app and then it will be
everywhere so you can add it to TikTok or you can add it to Instagram or wherever from there. Okay
you know it's really I'm sure everybody else has found this all the words that you say
make perfect sense but when I try to put them all together and remember them something goes
we'll go I mean if it helps go back to the some of the recordings and just like go through it and
pause the video and then you can like get to that screen and then unpause it and then just keep going
um yeah I do that a lot as well um and and I so thank you thank you thank you Tamara for doing
the agenda in the in the video so that we're not having to try to figure out where that is
you know in fact if you wanted to she could even could she put the time on it um oh sure
it's easy for me to say but yeah maybe it may not be too hard but yeah if it's not too hard
that would be handy or just even to say yeah a batch of numbers you know yeah that's good
we could probably do that um cool okay um also just one other thing to look at the airdrop
tutorial I showed you as well last week you could also try that if you're on a
iPhone and you have a Mac which I think you do um you can just use airdrop to get it from one
to the other but I don't I won't take too much time here to tell everybody how to do that
but use your use your files in iCloud I think that should be good
awesome uh I think Bobby had another question just and I know you've said this but I didn't
know if it changed is there a timing like some should we do it like first thing in the morning
or just when we can and if so sometimes my mornings are really hectic and my evenings I'm
so tired that just so if I know you said there's something you can like put a time on it and then
it will release at a certain time and we can do that next time because it's not that big of a
deal now but morning evenings or is there something changed now or yeah so if you go to the analytics
um I would just I wouldn't worry about it in the beginning it's something I give it a couple weeks
and then you can head over to the the followers um option here so this is the um my TikToks
apparently 85 percent of our followers are female um and so but then this is the what you want to
look at so um you can see like where the most people are online there so right around 10 p.m
you know um there's about a it's kind of a peak
there at 10pm. And it's pretty average. So like, that's 11am on the one side may zoom in a bit. Oh, there we go. So there's like 11, 8, 11, 10am there all the way to 10. It doesn't really matter to you like on this day, it happened to be morning.
And these are sort of in real time so generally people are seeing that doesn't mean that you want to post it. When the peak is happening, you ideally want to be posting it.
You know, a few hours before that so I can kind of get into the system and start to get a bunch of views and start showing it to more people. And then the most people are online.
It doesn't really matter I haven't.
We haven't really experienced like the other thing you can do is post the one video on a, you know, Tuesday morning, and then take that same video and post it again, just as is maybe change the music or change it a little bit but post it on Thursday
or something so same video same content just post it two different times. That does count as two posts.
So if you're short one week, and you're like oh my gosh it's 10 o'clock and I forgot to post, just grab one of your ones from last week or whatever and just repost it.
And odds are you'll see like another like another spike of try you may see different people may see different traffic so the algorithms a little bit random. So that's why like if you take like feel like you got a really good video and you post it and then no one
watches it.
Don't feel bad like just post it again and try to get another time so that's definitely.
Thank you so much. Sure.
Any other questions you guys have we got time I'm happy to hang out for a little bit more if you guys have any technical questions anywhere people are getting stuck.
Good.
I do have one but I'm so sorry.
But, okay. On YouTube.
Once I kind of put a wrong video like to upload, and then it would never let me go back to choose any other one, and I didn't know how to delete that out of there.
So either it was going to make me make another video for their tools and record it right then, or it's just like all the garage doors were shut, I could only choose the wrong one that I put in there or it didn't let me like search again.
Okay.
So if you're on YouTube. Here we are. And I've just dragged in a video, let's just grab in one of these.
And I hit done.
So, it's been added now.
What you can do is there's this little button down here.
Okay, where, like right there. It's like a back button. Okay.
So if I tap on that, it'll ask if you want to restart it from scratch, or just go back, kind of undo one move now if I accidentally tapped it I didn't mean to you can do it again, and it will bring that video back.
Does that make sense. Yeah, so, so it'll take me, it'll just delete that video out of there, because that was my problem I'd always try to.
Yeah, then you can just take it out and then bring and bring it in again.
So, do that. Okay. And how do you take it out, that's what I mean I click on it I do all. It's like there's no delete button.
Can you just go back, it's just saying once you've already added it.
We see.
I'll just keep hitting that back button and I guess I thought I did that but maybe I didn't.
Yeah, so there's a another back button at the top left here, so let's say I've added this one but actually I don't want to have it so I can hit this back button up here.
And it will take me back to my camera, and then I it's still loaded, I need to then hit the back button again to go back to the beginning so now you can see at the very top here.
Yeah, it's, it's got this little red bar. So when I add a video like that. See how the red bar fills up. Yeah.
So now it's showing you that that's, that's my 60 seconds and I'm pretty much used up all my 60 seconds.
So now when I hit the little white button, I'm editing that 60 seconds. I go back.
The red bars filled in at the top.
And then if I hit the back button, bottom left here.
Then that see how it just cleared it away.
So now that video is totally gone.
I'm going to put that video down because mine keeps appearing in the bottom left hand corner see how versus there. Yes. So, if when I go again to try to upload that same darn video comes up but we'll just, yeah, maybe just make sure you're choosing a different
one. Okay.
Okay, I'll, I'll give it a try tonight.
Yeah, we'll, we'll look at it again next.
Okay, no problem.
Yeah.
Let me know.
All right.
Thanks again.
I think that's it.
All right, guys.
Anything else?
Good.
Everybody has no technical issues.
They're all got everything figured out.
Perfect.
I just wanted to say this quickly, Bruce.
Yes.
The other time that I had lost a couple of my videos and I wasn't sure what it was.
It was my phone had didn't have enough space.
I needed to have more.
Yeah, I needed to have more space.
My phone was full.
So I would if it wasn't saving my photos.
Yeah, so you can definitely.
Are you on an iPhone?
Oh, no, I have a Samsung.
Okay, well, you can definitely just keep an eye.
Like once the videos go up, if you're doing a lot of video videos, take up a lot of space
very quickly.
So if you are keeping a lot, I would either move them to where you have probably have
Google Drive connected to yours.
I'm assuming.
Yeah.
Okay, so I would use like put all the videos on Google Drive and you could delete them
off your phone.
I have a question.
How, how long of a video can I save on Google Drive?
And does that take as long as you want?
No, there's no limit.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, now there's a free version of Google Drive that has a limit of how much space you
have.
But the length of the video is unlimited.
So.
Okay, because I have saved stuff on Google Drive, but my videos didn't get saved.
Okay.
You just want to check to see how much space you have.
Okay.
And so, like, I'll show you here, down here under storage on the bottom left.
So you can see here, I'm on our like business account.
And so we have 600 gigabytes or whatever.
And then we have, we currently have like unlimited space.
So all these videos, like you can see this is like three, this is like a one hour long
video in here.
Um, we do all of like our challenges, like everything we've ever recorded is in Google
Drive.
And so, um, yeah, it's like you can definitely save a ton of stuff.
You just may have to upgrade to like a bigger plan.
But between iCloud or Google Drive or Dropbox, all the pricing on that is almost identical.
Like everybody's pricing is the same.
So don't feel like if you're on one, it's going to be a whole lot cheaper.
It's not really a whole lot cheaper.
Um, so if you've got iCloud and you're paying for iCloud, um, you know, you can do, I would
just stick with what you got.
Um, it's not like it's going to be, it's just a lot of admin and effort to move everything
from one to the other.
Or you'll end up with what we have, where we have like three different storage things
that we're paying for, but I haven't bothered to take the time to move it all to one.
So, but it's important to note that your online storage is going to be orders of magnitude
greater than your phone.
Yes, that's, that's the key.
It's basically unlimited on, you know, the cloud.
And also the beautiful thing about that is if you're, um, you know, you lose your phone,
you drop it in a Lake, you didn't just lose every single thing you've ever recorded.
Right.
So now if you're on an iPhone, you can just turn on iCloud sync and it does all the things
we're talking about for you.
It's quite magical.
So, um, that's Apple tends to make it pretty easy.
Yeah.
So how do you turn on iCloud sync and is it safe just to sync everything, Ben?
I've got this little paranoia thing of what I'm opening up to.
So, um, if you're on iPhone and you go to the top here, um, you can go to the very top.
Um, okay.
I'm hitting my settings.
Okay.
Yeah.
Let me go back a step.
So the first thing you see, you'll see like your name at the top versus Bruce.
Yeah.
And then if I scroll down, um, or if I click on iCloud, see, it says two terabytes right
there.
So, um, Lindsay and I share, share an account for that.
So we can each put stuff in there, but you can see like, we're only using 500 gigs of
our two terabytes.
So two terabytes is just think of it as 2000 gigabytes.
Um, the TV is just a thousand.
So it's, we're using 500 and we have a, you know, 2000 available.
So we have plenty of space.
Okay.
Wait, I'm back at, at your name.
I'm not seeing iCloud or click on, click on that.
Um, oh, you should see iCloud there.
There it is. Okay. And mine says 50 gigabytes and yours says terabytes. Okay.
Yeah. So that's, so like your iPhone will come with some free storage. That's probably what that
is. If you click, I think it's managed storage. You can basically, it's like a one tap upgrade.
So you can see if I tap on where it says manage storage.
Okay.
If you ever need to, this is how easy it is to update. You just do it from your phone.
Um, manage storage. And then there's an option that says change plan.
So yeah. Upgrade options. Okay. Yeah. So then I can choose, you know,
and you'll see it's about, I think it's 10 bucks a month. Yeah. 999 a month.
Okay. That's for a terabyte. 200 gigabytes is $3. So yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah. That's going to be plenty probably. And the good thing is just get it as you need it.
You can keep going. Um, so it looks like I've used up most of my 50 gigs.
Okay. So you can do that afterwards. I'll just show you here, um, where you go back
to the first screen. So I've got, I just tapped on, um, iCloud down here. Um, yeah.
And then there's, uh, photos. Okay. Yeah.
And then here you can just, um, turn on iCloud photos right here.
Yeah. I have that shared. So that means your stuff is, um, sinking.
Okay. So it's sinking with my stuff. Okay. Yeah. So here's why that's cool. You know?
Um, and so let's say you like drop your phone in a Lake and you can't ever get it back. You go to
the app, like go to the Verizon store, whatever, pick up a new phone. You sign in with your iCloud
account and all your photos will show up immediately as if you didn't lose your phone,
like on the brand new phone. Um, so that's, what's cool about it. And it's as easy as that.
You just literally sign in with iCloud and you just give it a few hours. And next thing,
all your stuff is back, um, as it was. Okay. So I should have somewhere in my
list of passwords. I should have an iCloud password, right?
Probably. Yeah. That's you probably should somewhere.
Okay. Great.
And the other thing I would turn on whoever's watching this and just for thoroughness,
like the iCloud backup options, you just want to leave that, um, checked as well. So it'll do a
full backup of everything on your phone, your emails, your, your, uh, the notes that you have,
everything that's on your phone. Um, it will keep all that backed up. You lose your phone,
you go get a new one, you sign in with iCloud and everything will look back. Even your,
your, your wallpaper on your phone, where your icons are placed, you know, on the,
your phone, everything will be exactly as if you didn't lose it. So it's a great, great option. So.
Great. Thank you. It's just like little things that there's like a little check box and then
you only care about it when you lose your stuff. And then you're going to wish you
check these boxes. Um, and we have had like two computers stolen from our car in the past few
years. And so it's not a fun feeling, but we did have all this stuff set up. So at least we didn't
lose anything valuable. So if we can go through, I'm going to Instagram and there's this little
plus that I'm hitting and then I'm hitting real. And then it goes to allow Instagram to access
your camera and microphone. And if I hit open settings, then did you say I don't need them to,
do I need to click over and say, yeah, you don't have to only if you're going to record or take
pictures with Instagram. Okay. That, but then if I X that out, then let me see. Um, then I,
if I exit out, then I go back to the homepage and if I hit plus again, I'm doing the same.
I'm back to the same thing again. Okay. So, um, what I would do is just go to your settings again.
Okay. Settings on Instagram settings on, on your like main on the phone. Okay. Okay. Back
to settings. Yes. I just got a privacy. Um, okay. And then, um, if you click on photos,
you can make sure that just, you can let Instagram have access to all your photos.
That's probably what it's asking for. I have selected photos already.
And so give them all photos. Yeah. I would do all. Yeah. I've been here before. Okay. And then
you can, so there's the photos are like things that have been recorded. The camera is like
actually accessing your camera. So again, from here, you can actually tell anyone.
of your apps to never have access to your camera.
There's just certain ones you probably never need
to have access to a camera.
So that's just where you can change those settings.
Okay, so I hit camera.
I've got like just Instagram and TikTok on here.
Okay, so I have a few more than you were saying.
Yeah, they definitely look like mine.
Okay, that's why.
So I've got TikTok on and Instagram off then.
Okay, that should be fine.
Should give it another shot.
Yeah, I've been trying to get this to work
and I've been having a hard time.
Okay, so up at the top,
when I've just gotten into Instagram,
up at the top, it's got a plus, a heart
and a little message sign.
When I hit the plus, then I hit real
and I come back to that screen that says
allow Instagram to access my camera and microphone.
I hit no and I go back to where I was before
and I'm not seeing how to post.
Do you not see the, like on the bottom left,
do you see something like this down here?
I'm not, okay, are we on Instagram?
Because Instagram, yeah.
Because when I, okay, I don't hit post,
I hit reels, right?
Yeah, so I hit the plus and then I hit reel.
Okay, my order is different from yours.
You may just want to give it access to your camera
because I don't know why it's wanting it,
but it doesn't, see, like my camera's
technically on right now.
See, there I am, but it's just there for a second
while I choose my video I want to post.
Okay.
Nope, it's still saying open settings,
even with that turned on.
Okay, so, oh, even when you did turn the camera on
or the photos?
I turned camera on.
Okay, that's weird.
Try to, so you can just swipe up
from the bottom of the screen on it.
So if you're in Instagram, there's a little like white thing
if I just swipe up or sorry, yeah.
And I'm on my home or am I on my,
I'm on my profile page?
Yes, if you swipe up and then kind of to the right,
I don't know if you can make it do this,
you can actually force quit Instagram altogether
like that and swipe up.
That's not as big a deal if it doesn't work, but.
Okay, so I'm on my home.
Okay, so just closing out doesn't,
okay, that doesn't force quit it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, well, I don't want to take up everybody's time.
That's fine.
If you want another just thing to try,
go ahead and like hold down the Instagram app
and delete the Instagram app completely
and go back and install it one more time
and just let it do it from scratch.
And just when it asks you for permission
the very first time, just say yes to everything.
And then it should at least let you get
to where you can post it.
And then we can always, you know,
change the settings later.
So.
Okay.
And now this says remove from home screen
or just delete it.
Yeah, you want to say delete, not remove from screen.
Okay.
Cool.
Okay.
Awesome guys.
We'll let you go.
Have an awesome rest of your day
and we'll see you guys on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers.
Bye.
Bye bye.
