      Hi Mike! Thank you 😊
      I set myself a challenge during lockdown to see how long it takes to get monetized (1000 subs, 4000 watch hours) I've kept it very quiet and not really advertised aside from the occasional reddit post here and there.
      Hope you like the content :)

    I just viewed your Top 5 Surface Pen Tips, well done. Initially I am wanting to enhance my PowerPoint Presentations. Do you have other Tips than the one you told us in your Top 5 related to this specific topic? For example, is there a way while using PP in presenter notes view, of blacking out the screen from your audience, going into multi slide view and hiding a particular slide that you don't want to necessarily show your audience due to time restraints? Again, I would love to know any PP tips.

      Thank you! You should have a look at my other pen video I just released as it focuses on OneNote and Surface pen if you're interested. The best pen for the Pro 5 is the Surface Pen v4 but pretty much all Surface pens from Pro 3 upward work on any pro

    For note taking like using One note, would you recommend the surface slim pen or the other one for Surface Go?

    • @AldoJames
      @AldoJames  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Purely for charging reasons I would go with the Surface Pen v4. The Slim pen is really nice but you have nowhere to store or charge it with the Go so it'll run out of battery and be easier to lose

      Hi Pom, I was just using my camera to record video but not for video conferencing in this video.
      You can join a teams call with you phone & computer at the same time and choose to have audio, video or both coming from your phone but you can't specifically connect your phone to a pc as a webcam.
      Hope this helps!
