Keep the jargon for internal use with your team or use it sparingly when needed for explanation or additional information. And if your viewer can’t understand something, break it down to them so they can see the bigger picture.
Sharing all the technical informations not always makes you sound impressive.
It’s rare that someone would watch a video where they don’t understand what’s going on. Instead of using jargon, break down the information for the viewer so they can understand it.
Keep things simple. The simpler you can make the content of your videos, the more fun and easier they will be for people to understand which in turn makes them much more shareable.
The internet is a great place for sharing memes. You can share memes with people who understand your language. But there are most popular when people don’t understand the language, because then they know they’re funny without understanding what it says.

Many people don’t like complicated things; they want something both entertaining and easy to understand. Focus on simplifying your message so that everyone understands it, whether they work for your company or not.
