Okay, first of all , I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT.

Want to know why I heard it so loud. MY VOLUME WAS TURNED UP ON MY HEADSET. but I did go in and adjust the microphone controls to midway anyway. I just made my last video of the night because I'm tired of all this nonsense. And how some people can do this 24 hours a day is beyond me. It would drive me nuts.

Anyway, I made the video, and it cut me off in 18 seconds. The previous one was 20 seconds.

Any thoughts on why it's doing this?

I'll check back tomorrow for your words of wisdom. I'm going to go watch tv and if I see another computer tonight, I'm going to bash it.

I'm too old for this.
lol, Melody

Try moving the mic over to the side of your mouth and about 1" away from it.
my old voice recognition software had a section on best mic placement.

some mic positioning pics - these were the best I could find.

I don't know why it would stop at a certain time...
