Walk through pull requests on video instead of leaving walls of text comments. A recorded code review lets you point at specific lines, explain your reasoning out loud, and give feedback that sounds human instead of terse.
Use split diff view so both old and new code are visible. Increase the font size to at least 16px so the recording stays legible.
Bump your IDE font to 16-18px before recording. Default 12-13px text compresses badly in video and becomes unreadable on smaller screens.
Narrate your thought process: what the code does, what you'd change, and why. Spoken feedback carries tone that written comments lose.
Move your cursor to the exact line you're discussing. Cursor highlight makes this movement visible even when the code is dense.
End the recording with a quick list: 'Fix the null check on line 42, consider renaming X, and the rest looks good.' Clear next steps speed up iteration.
Code diffs are dense — auto-zoom punches into the section you're clicking on so reviewers can read individual lines without pausing and zooming manually.
When walking through 500 lines of diff, a highlighted cursor keeps the viewer's eye on the exact line you're discussing.
Captions let team members skim the review in a noisy office or catch technical terms they might mishear in spoken English.
