When connecting multiple oscilloscope probes to a circuit, does each probe need to connect to ground? The short answer is: yes! But why? The long answer is: kind of. But (again) why? Because of the ground loop! Connecting ground shortens the ground loop, resulting in better measurements.
In this video, James shows what happens when you don't use proper ground connections, and he leaves you with a viewer challenge question! https://bit.ly/38Lf7uH
