How can I improve my coding videos

#help

Recently I started making video versions for some of the posts that I am posting here. But it's hard to tell whether they're any good as people usually don't leave comments.

Here's my channel:

If there was one thing that I could improve, what would it be?

Thank you 🙇

It could be helpful to add some visual elements to make it easier for viewers to follow along with what you are talking about.

As an example, I watched your merge sort video and I thought that when you were talking about the time complexity of different algorithms it would have been useful to show graphs to compare them. If I'm a viewer who doesn't know the difference between O(n²⁾ and O(nlogn), showing me a graph comparing the two will help me understand just how different they are.

Thank you for the feedback! I agree that my explanations could use more visuals to help the viewer understand better.

Few things that can increase the engagement:

Add more sections on the Channel; I didn't realize that you have more than 5 videos; so make sections and playlists and add them on the Channel home.
Add a small guide in the description and timestamp links to skip through the videos, as videos are long it is helpful to jump right into the important point.
You can pick up some music from Youtube or SoundCloud to put as mild background audio; this fills up for long pause or the code you are typing.
Ask questions during the video and allow viewers to take a moment to pause and think or comment.
Leave some open-ended questions at the end of video like "Have you used Web Assembly? and Why?" This will build a ground for the next video topics

(I will try to add more comments over time)
