Mhm, I don't know exactly what info would help you but I can brainstorm some best practices for me.
Firstly, I use OBS for recording, which probably many or most people do (
obsproject.com). I don't think you need more than 1 screen including a camera window corner as I do it, but of course you can be more fancy with your window management.
I got a USB connection micro with a stand (see pic) and you can check more youtube for videos on what mic to get. I mean you'll end up getting something from Amazon I suppose and I didn't bother actually looking into what distinguishes those things. I do think a mic is better than your common laptop mic, but I must also say it gets in the way of one hand while you operate the screen.
I found having a quite brought light 1m away from my face helps with the lighting. It's less annoying than it sounds.
As doing videos and trying to be regular is whole lotta work, I eventually ended up doing those one-takes and I think it still sort of works. I get complaints that the videos are far too long, but to Quote Mark Twain
"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead."
Have some water or something to drink on the side. With lectures, you'll sit there for an hour I guess, and I take at least 15 minutes beforehand and then the whole upload and doing title and all that semi-automated things take another 30 minutes afterwards.
As for scripting, once you make your slides or write the text you go through, the process of this does most of the scripting for you and anything beyond that that you'd write down, you might end up forgetting in the moment anyway.
I use MathJax, but I assume you have some pictures to show, so in that case you'll need slides (I think that's a more showable format than LaTeX compiled files). I see a bunch of math profs in videos now doing tablet life writing, but I personally find that annoying, the "10 ugly words per slide before they pass on" pages.
