👉 Video play controls should not be visible at any point in the video.
(If the viewer sees the video play controls - they know that the interview is fake. And if the video is fake, then they will not watch it)
THE MISTAKE: The video play controls are visible on your computer. The video looks fake.
TO FIX THIS MISTAKE:
- Move the cursor (computer mouse) away from the controls - right edge of the screen is usually the best
- Start the “Fake interview” screen recording with the “Spacebar Key” or the “Play Key” on your keyboard
- Hide the laptop display for the first few seconds of the video until the video playback controls disappear
