I find that documentation that has relevant screenshots or diagrams or even GIFs can explain the topic well enough without forcing people to watch an hour-long video.
Though I do agree that GUI-heavy processes like AWS are better presented in video so you can find exactly what to click on and what happens next.

Cost of production is close to zero. Sit in front of a computer and talk while you work. No edits required, upload as soon as you're done.
