The video starts with a written message:
"I found and restored an old camcorder and old tapes (link to the video in the description). It was one of the first models that ever came to the market in the 1800's. This is what was on the tapes"
There's a static sound. The picture slowly starts to clear up and we see the forehead of a young man with dark skin and a concentrated expression. The picture is black and white.
Young man: Is it working? Is it working? Wylan, is it-
Voice from outside of the picture, presumably Wylan: Literally the only thing I can see right now is your giant forehead, Jesper.
Jesper: *gasps* The audacity to say this on my birthday of all days
Wylan: Would you prefer if I scheduled the mean comments to tomorrow?
Jesper: Cheeky. Getting a bit too comfortable lately, merchling. Where do I need to look anyway?
The camera gets turned around. We see another very young looking man with curly hair and freckles.
Jesper: Hey, I can see you!
Wylan: *tries to hide his face* Stop it! It's already recording!
Jesper: This is amazing. This is the best gift I've ever gotten, Wy! I'm basically immortal now!
Wylan: It's just a camera, love, don't become a megalomaniac now.
Jesper: I'm being serious! Look, with this we can literally talk to the people of future generations! *the camera gets turned to Jesper again who is waving at it* Hi, guys! Say hi, Wy!
The camera gets turned back to Wylan, who stumbles back.
Wylan: Jesper. I'm not even wearing proper clothes! I still have my nightgown on, for Saints' sake!
There's a cracking sound as the camera is being set down and the recording stops. Another written message appears:
"I have even more! If you'd like to see them, like and subscribe."

GabLetsPlay: It's interesting to see that they seemed to be a couple. I feel like being gay was more normalized back then than it is now for some reason. I hope they had a great life together

User3454569: Wow, this is absolutely mindblowing! We're watching history right now! And not a monumental big moment, no: just two dudes living their best life. This is better than any history lesson. It's too bad both of them are probably dead now. They seem so much fun to be around!

SarahGreene94: This is so cool 😭 The fact that we're able to see this from the comfort of our sofa is already amazing enough, but watching these people directly talk to us feels so surreal! And they seem so sweet, too! I'm not sure if the guy actually knew that people would watch this, but when he said Hi, I said Hi back. I'm so excited to see more of them, please upload the rest as well!!

The video starts with a written message again:
"Since you were so excited to see the other tapes, I decided to upload this one early. Enjoy :)"
There's a static sound again. We see a group of five people come into the picture in two rows. In the first row sits a small, young Suli woman with a pirate outfit, next to her sits a taller woman with a rather revealing dress. Both of them are smiling widely. On the other side of the Suli woman stands a young man with black, curly hair, supporting his gloved hands on a cane and wearing a solemn expression. He looks like he's been dragged into this. On the right of the other woman sits Wylan. Behind him stands Jesper with his hands on Wylan's shoulders. Both of the young men are also grinning at the camera.
Young Suli woman, trying to talk while keeping her grin in place: Are you sure this is working?
Jesper, also not losing the grin as he speaks without moving his mouth as best as he can: Of course it's working, it just takes a while.
Ten seconds pass where the group keeps staring into the camera with the weird expressions plastered to their faces and nothing happens.
The tall woman: I don't think this is working, love.
Jesper: Quit. Doubting me. Just wait!
Another ten seconds pass.
Wylan: Darling, it's not working.
The man with the black curls: *sighs heavily* All right, no need to give the broad hint, I'll go see what's wrong.
The young Suli woman: Literally no one here asked you, Kaz.
The tall woman: *snorts*
Kaz, as he approaches the camera: I know how to do it.
Jesper, with a hint of panic in his voice as he follows Kaz out of the frame: Let me rephrase what Inej said: "Kaz, please, I'm begging you, do not go see what's wrong!"
Kaz: If I take this apart, I can probably...
Wylan: You are not taking the camera apart. It was expensive.*Adds quietly* Also Jesper already told me not to do it.
Jesper: Kaz, I'm serious, get your grubby fingers away from my camera! Kaz!
Kaz: I'll buy you a new one!
Jesper: STEP AWAY FROM THE CAMERA, I WILL LITERALLY KILL YOU!
Inej and the tall woman are trying their hardest to stifle their laughter and failing
Kaz's eye comes into frame along with Jesper's hand
Kaz: You were recording a video and not taking a picture, genius! Look, there's a but-
The recording abruptly ends as Kaz pushes the button. The written text comes into frame again:
"They accidentally ended up taking a picture. This is what it looks like"
A black and white photo is shown with Kaz's eye, Jesper's hand that looks like he's about to grab his neck, Inej and the woman laughing in the background and Wylan rubbing his eyes exasperatedly

TheMenacingMoustache: I like how they all have their distinct personality and it really shines through here. The Suli girl is brunt, but polite, and you can tell she has a thing going on with the black haired dude, they seem like an old married couple. The black haired dude is a smartass and basically the kid you hate in your class. The other chick has that glint in her eye like "I'm playing right now, but better not mess with me". Black dude is a jester and the other guy with the brighter curls is kinda giving off similar vibes to the black haired dude, except he's done with everyone's bullshit. You can tell they really care about each other though.
