I have no intention of ever recording YouTube videos but I'm watching just for the sake of learning something new. You're one of those people who are so good at teaching and explaining you just make people want to learn from you. And you make it fun.

Ali is casually showing his room and not even mentioning the amazing view he has through his window. It looks like a Wallpaper to me <3

I'm an educator, hoping to grow on YouTube and start making more varied YouTube videos on Philosophy, Book Reviews and stuff instead of Maths and Physics.

Definitely needed this!
Thank you, Ali!

If your reading this I hope you channel blows up!

You are amazing bro, your channel is one of the best definitely. I can say that being a YouTuber is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman offers product/service that people need. And you are doing that. For some beginners it could be tough to start channel (Use a lot of Famester to help start your channel). I was like that, and if I didn't found out about it, I probably wouldn't be able to type this comment today.

Omg! I would never think of putting a rug to improve the audio. I’m so glad I found your video!

A someone who is a beginner in content creation, this is the most comprehensive video I've seen. He literally covered everything especially the dos and don'ts

I'm 3min into this video and it's already changed my set-up. Thank you for this!

[ivanbrezakbrkan]

Came for the studio setup (as I’m setting my office studio), stayed for the fact you’re a dad - congrats, mate! ❤

And yes, I’m watching this in the dark after putting my 3year old to sleep - it’s gonna get fun! 🎉

You were right when you said a YouTuber’s studio set up is a reflection of their personality. I feel like I’ve got to know the real Ali more in this short video than in all the others I’ve watched over the years. It was very informative and you are charming. Thank you Ali

hey I want to say thank you in 2022 I used your videos to study productive, they were so helpful not only I passed my exams with the best grades but also developed a strong concept of learning anything. Thank you so much. this comment I know has nothing to do with this video. I wanted to make sure you hear me out.

What a timing, moving to my new place soon and I was thinking about how to setup a small studio there ( interior, lighting stuff) and here you are sharing exactly that. Is this called manifestation ? 😊❤

[timmytimmy]

Thank you so much Alice, really without you this quality of content would not be possible.

[SaadAhmed-hdsu]

Exactly the video I want! I also have a small room like this, and this is the perfect step-by-step guide I can follow to convert my small room into a YouTube studio. Thank you so much, man, for making these minimalist and clean videos for us. I always get a fresh and clean vibe from your content.

This was so necessary!!! One of the barriers in shooting videos has been trying to set up in my tiny room.This was helpful!

[TheWholesomeLioness]

There’s nothing better than a fresh start! It's encouraging how you showcase the transformation in just 23 seconds—it really makes it feel achievable for all of us starting out. This video couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’ve been stuck overthinking how to set up my living room to film my very first video🙂.

[TarotlogicallySpeaking]

I really appreciate this. My bedroom is currently being turned into my YT studio so space is absolutely at a premium. I’m excited to get to it after watching yours come together so beautifully! That Displate hack is a game changer!

This video came to me at the exact time I needed this thing. I just started to make my room a better studio and I got a notification about this video. What a brilliant timing 😊

That view out of the window is insane!
