  <p>Just a thought, but have you guys ever considered using Skype for Business to record your podcast? It has gallery view for your side-by-side shots. There's even a broadcast option for live streaming. I think a lot of the technical issues you seem to experience would be easily resolved by just recording to the cloud and then downloading the finished result to post to YouTube.</p>

The only tech challenge we have on a frequent basis are Windows updates that like to chew up CPU and reset my audio controls</p>

  <p>After Windows updates at the wrong time did bite me a couple of times<em> I do proactively install updates </em>at times when they won't disturb me. I do this by generally using Windows Update "check for updates" every morning before breakfast and evening before going to bed.</p><p><br></p><p>I consider the risk of an update having unwanted side effects lower then the risk of staying exposed to some security hole for which a fix is available.</p><p><br></p><p>My desktop automatically does nightly backups (including an image) using "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" under Windows 10. For my notebook I manually create an image backup before every long trip. All my machines have system restore enabled. So I always have a way back.</p>
