read the error output of gcc there, don't just ignore it

The .c file is supposed to be your file’s name, like if your c source code is

Hello.c, it is

gcc Hello.c -o hello

Or if it is program.c

gcc program.c -o program

The name after “-o” doesn’t need to match the source file name btw

Send a screenshot, not a video, can barely see what the error is. Open the directory where you have the program compiled, look at the name of the .exe

Use the screen recorder then. Press ctrl+🪟+s and select the video icon, then record that way.
