Hi- Thanks for writing in! The halacha is that you are not supposed to say shem Hashem for entertainment purposes- ie- a video that isn’t about teaching people how to make a bracha (like ours, which are about how to make a recipe). Also, we often have multiple takes at a video shoot and we can’t have them repeating the bracha. The person in the video can make the bracha off camera if they are eating the food. We don’t have to include the full bracha in the video and in fact, some rabbonim say you shouldn’t do that- including Rav Forst. I assure you that our leaving out brachos is not due to trying to look professional, but due to actual halacha.

That said, you are bringing up a topic that is close to our hearts. That is, to make sure that we constantly make a kiddush Hashem in all the content. We really appreciate your input.
