You should try turning to full power right away and angle the frother spout enough so that it swirls the milk. Keep the mouth below the surface of the milk. The large bubbles is a result of sucking in too much air which happens when the mouth is above the milk. The final step is what you were showing, tap it on a surface and swirl to polish the milk. The result should look like melted ice cream.
Belated thanks for the input. I will try your method and see how it works. I first steamed milk in the 70s (yep, the nine-teen-70s!) in a coffee house in Montclair, NJ called Just Desserts. We used a gorgeous older machine (Brugnetti?) -- so I picked up my milk steaming technique on that behemoth!
Thank you so much for showing ALL the little details ...like buttons to press n stuff 😊
