How to delete Facebook Ad account or brand manager account?

Submitted by GAURANGAGG on Sun, 03/12/2023 - 07:30

On Facebook, you can't delete individual ad account, you have to delete whole of the brand manager account. 

Delete the business account. 

Once you schedule the Brand manager account for deletion, it can’t be accessed. All Pages, accounts and tools added to this business will return to their original owner or be deleted in 24 hours.

Why write?

Why do we write - I stumbled upon a fs article and it made me retrospect about why I write. But first, let's see what I learnt from the article (link below).

Writing is the process by which you get the clarity of what you know and what you don't. It aids the understanding aspect of what you talk about. 

Writing is a double edged sword - it enables you to share your ideas as well as improve your understanding of the topic. 

Writing makes you explorer - as you continue writing, you think in countless different ways to come up with new ideas.

Why you should Watermark your videos while sharing on Video streaming platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo?

Submitted by GAURANGAGG on Wed, 03/08/2023 - 19:05

If you are running your YouTube Channel or having digital identities, it is important to improtect your content/ digital assets from getting copied. It takes few hours to dozens or even hundreds of hours to produce something good and is copied in matter of minutes by others. Moreover, it might so happen that your original content would receive less views or engagement than the one who copies it -- everyone must have seen this happening with a lot of posts on LinkedIn, Twitter and that could be demotivating for original creators.

It is hard to embed a copyright message on text but can easily be done on images and videos. Videos being high cost media type - you just can't afford to miss putting a watermark on the video which would atleast make it easier for you to claim copyrights on the video and further pursue redressal regarding copyright infringement. 

YouTube provides a section where you can check details of all videos that contains the copied section of your videos, what percentage of the content is copied, total no. of views and provides an interface to file report and take action against the copyright infringer. Below is the screenshot of the section that provides all such details. 

My key learnings from photography

Submitted by GAURANGAGG on Tue, 02/28/2023 - 08:32

I love photography, the art of capturing the world virtually. Thanks to the powerful cameras in mobile phones that we all have, we are able to click more round the clock.

My stinct with DSLR started in 2014 when I bought my first camera Nikon Cool Pix which was ahead of its time - it had massive zoom and used to click pretty good pictures. I was unaware of opwer of DSLRs back and might have seen 1-2 times before that. 

After buying Canon 80D a lot of things changed - I was discovering a lot of new features, concepts of photography each of which used to leave me in the awe of this beutiful world of photography.

 

Here are some of my learnings - 

1. Low ISO has higher depth of field - so when you are keeping low ISOs you will be able to see more depth that is far off - which adds more context to the photograph and makes the photograph very rich.
