This video is a beginner's guide to Templates in Obsidian. We cover two different levels of templates: basic templating and advanced templating with Templater Plugin.
Too many videos over-complicate things. My goal in this video is to explain how to use Obsidian Templates in plain English so you can start using them as soon as possible.
