Could you tell me what type of camera you are currently using to photograph your story it's seems amazing

Ok, I was trying to get reviewed several months already and didn't ever noticed this line:DO NOT FILL OUT THIS FORM UNTIL 1 HOUR BEFORE LIVESTREAM. WE PURGE IT EVERY WEEKThat makes total sense now! Now I'll make sure to submit it 30 minutes before the next livestream! 🕐

Hi Rob. I've been using vidIQ for about 6 months or so and find it a very useful tool for streamlining channel management, so thank you for that. I was wondering would you consider doing shout out style videos, but delving into the realms of channel audit on your subscribers channels? By this I mean not on live stream but maybe highlighting just 2 or 3 of your subscribers channels in a dedicated video and offering a channel audit/shout out to them? Might be a cool way to bring a bit more attention to some great channels that support you. All the best, keep doing what you are doing it's clearly working!

i hope they roll out YT Stories to all channels.

I didnt watch the livestream because i thought its another pewdiepie video 😂😂😂 i love this kind of content...

[paperkawaii]

I just got stories, it wouldn’t work at first.. had to uninstall and sign out and everything...
no link means it’s pretty pointless?

13:30 oh nothing has ever aged so poorly 🤣

[allawesomefacts]

Thank you vidiq for reviewing my channel, I am focusing on random facts and current events on my channel. Is it a good strategy to grow ? And yes I had uploaded a compilation of tv ads which which gained a lot of views and after that I decided to shift to some thing which is created by me.. that's why the views are less. But the ads compilation contains ads of which I have permission to upload.
