hoo boy uhh
First off, make content you yourself would actually want to watch, since I doubt you'd wanna watch unedited footage of a guy running around the swamps. 'Eliatopia video 1" is not exactly something interesting honestly.
Second, get editing software, I recommend Vegas, don't act all pissy about the price, let's be real, there IS no price.
Third, I'd recommend using the xbox game recorder bundled with windows 10 or OBS, both are free. If you use the xbox game recorder make sure your settings are set to "record non game sound", because for some reason it did not consider my browser (opera gx) as a game program and just like that muted the sound.

You asked for suggestions, you got em.

(Xbox game recorder? Never heard of it)

Anyway yeah what cinos said, don't make videos you yourself wouldn't even want to watch.

You should also look into playing the desktop version of Eliatopia rather than the website version as the desktop version has better fps and looks cleaner. But, if you're insistent on using the web version I'd recommend toggling fullscreen in the options menu.

Next I'd recommend using OBS like cinos said since I personally use it and has rarely ever not worked. (Though most recording softwares would probably work fine as long as they don't have a logo, record in HD, and actually have sounds.

I'm also of the opinion you shouldn't focus on tutorial videos (Because that's kind of what this video is.) and work on interesting topics like perhaps you fought someone in Eliatopia and it was rather interesting, Then you could: Overlay music, and make jump cuts to cut out boring parts (especially if the fight is long.)

Next you're gonna wanna learn how to make thumbnails. Don't use the pre-made thumbnails by YouTube and don't use google stock images, those would just make terrible thumbnails. There's really nothing I can tell you other than learn the YouTube thumbnail aspect ratio and make some sort of cool image for the video. Also add big text so people can read the thumbnail and see what the video is about.

Lastly, you're gonna wanna learn what tags and name titling are and how to use them effectively. If you're making Eliatopia videos then add tags related to Eliatopia not Dream (Just as an example.) Next when making name titles for your videos don't name them something bland like "Eliatopia gmeplay part 1 short time" (gameplay is misspelled.) Name what you're doing in the video like 'Eliatopia Mission Tutorial' (Please don't do that though, as that's a cheap scummy way to get views and also overused) So back to the pvp video example you wouldn't name the video 'Eliatopia gameplay part 2 cotton vs x' That's a terrible title (Sorry.) You're gonna need something much more interesting, like 'Eliatopia - Cotton Vs x' or
'Cotton Vs x Eliatopia' which is a much better title.

Also I know this is probably common information but don't steal other peoples thumbnails, or art (Or videos.) Thats just rude but I doubt anyone would actually do that.
