[@Waper-i7m]

thank you man i think i got a virus

[@theresaeagles6869]

Could you please slow down for beginners? This is not a training video if you can’t explain and allow the viewer to hear clearly what you are saying. Very frustrating, the whole point of a tutorial, is to respect the fact that others are not as clever as you are. Very disappointed.

[@Fix.369]

theresaeagles6869 Bro, Sorry for the inconvenience. We will keep your suggestion in mind for future videos.☺️
