    Hi @MasoodRaja
    you have made a good first-up video however you could do a few things to capture our imagination.

    • First up your intro is too long (it looks professional but generally bores people), you only have a couple of seconds to capture my attention and you take 10 seconds before you introduce yourself - come in much earlier.
    • You immediately crossed your arms - body language is important - you then uncrossed them but I have already seen the closed gesture.
    • You look as if you are reading a script, and, not once do you look at me.
    • Be aware of the text blocks in the lower RH corner as that is where the Udemy Watermark goes.
    • You give a good explanation but do not sound very excited about your subject.

    As said this is a great first-up video - I can hear your clearly (very important) - there is no background noise and the setting is apt re your subject matter.

    All the best

    Sharon
