Your swing looks nice for someone who has only been playing a few weeks.  Obviously there are improvements to be made, but it's a good starting point.

Check out "Filming Your Golf Swing": https://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

It'll be nice to have both a down the line (from down the line instead of "generally back") and a caddie view.   I thought getting the angle right on DTL would be a pain, but I eventually got better at it.  Caddie view would be nice to be able to check your setup, such as the angle of your left foot.  That was a simple change made for me many years ago that, once I got in the habit of doing it, made a lot of shots better and easier.  I can't tell from here if you're doing that or not.

As to your swing, it looks to my relatively untrained eye that you don't have a centered pivot.  Check out this thread:

Thank you very much for the input. I will definitely try this.

Skip down to the actual "filming your swing" section. Good angles are extremely important to give us accurate information with which to make suggestions.

My first impression is that your swing looks like it's all arms/upper body, doesn't appear you are getting your legs involved much at all. A common occurrence for a beginning golfer; you might consider seeking the help of your local pro, i.e. lessons.

Thank you for the advice. I did have one lesson where we played 9 holes. Didn’t really go over fundamentals much. Just basically stance, grip, club selection, putting.

Ok. I am playing this weekend, so I will be sure to get some better videos. Thank you.
