works great, but as others have said, the profile picture does not currently update correctly. Everything else works and the UI and UX are very good

Carl Sjölander, 2024-11-30I love the tool but my channel logo is not showing up on the preview, it just shows the one for the original video. How can i fix this? or is it a problem with the tool?
