wrong you will not be able to catch a fall belaying that way, always bring hand with dead rope back behind and below the belay device at least that way you will have better chance of catching a fall!!!
thats what i use, it is what my teacher, who is certified to teach it, taught me, it works, is most effective, and you still need to have the belay attached to the harness.
Bad technique. You could kill somebody this way. If they fall unexpectedly, your belaying arm is NOT in the braked position!

This is a wrong method of belaying. if the climber falls unexpectedly, the belay may not be able tocatch the fall.

thats a funky way of belaying...
looks a bit dodgy to me, looks hard to lock off if somebody falls unexpectedly

Better to teach techniques that are as safe as possible and that would be used outdoors. I've seen too many people doing too many silly things.

The belayer should be connected to the belay device. This is not so in the video.
The first clip uses a gri-gri ... if this is used in the second clip, there is no special "lock-off" action as long as the free rope end is held.
If an ATC or similar is used, the belayer should be locking off after each pull in of the rope.

no, the shouldnt, its also ok if it is connected to the ground shown here.

I mean the belay device should be connected to the belayer, as well as the ground.

well, it doesnt have to be connect to the belayer, in our school, we just hold the rope and keep pulling it so their is no slack.
