@taniashiba Please review and action accordingly. Feedback is highly appreciated.

Done. Awesome job, @KiranBaliga ! Some feedback to help you on future videos:

• Are you be able to record your own voice over? Shorts feel more personal if you are speaking.
• Stock footage does an okay job of describing what you are showing, but it's not very effective for long term viewership and growth. Screen recordings, visuals put together in something like Canva, anything you organically record or put together. It doesn't need to be fancy, it simply needs more of your personal touch!
• For the title, I would pose a question or alluring statement that makes Web5 more alluring and most importantly for accessibility for the viewer.
