Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Linus smashes a fake PC, then announces an office upgrade for the writing staff.
  2. 1:08A desk tour gathers staff requests, from a computer to a soundboard for every occasion.
  3. 7:31A floor socket drops into the space below, cutting power and giving Linus a repair job.
  4. 9:30The team builds artificial skylights using LED strips and diffusion panels.
  5. 12:20James explains the switch from an OSB divider to translucent polycarbonate panels.
  6. 15:33The completed workstation reveals and final inspection begin.

"Our power fell into the floor," Reece Murray tells Linus Sebastian. An electrical floor socket has been knocked into the space below, leaving Linus with a repair job in the middle of an office makeover.

That is the real mishap in "I Let My Staff Upgrade the Office (They Almost Ruined It)". The opening destruction is deliberate: Linus smashes a fake PC before announcing that the writing staff are getting upgraded setups. The catch is that they will be doing the work themselves.

Posted today, the video has drawn about 177,000 views in its first few hours. Rather than another elaborate computer build, it takes viewers into the room where the channel's scripts begin, with staff wishlists supplying much of the comedy. Reece asks for a computer. Peter Yuzyk wants his larger monitor back. Head of writing James Strive requests "a whole soundboard for every occasion."

The makeover is sponsored by Libernovo and Nanoleaf. Alongside new furniture and lighting, there are practical changes to the room itself: shelving moves, artificial skylights go into interior windows, and an OSB divider gives way to translucent polycarbonate panels that let light through.

Several viewers compare it with the channel's older office videos; others pick out that divider swap or renew Reece's plea for a computer.

The office controls get their own LTT treatment, too. A Home Assistant dashboard handles room settings and lunch planning, while a bathroom occupancy indicator answers a rather less glamorous workplace question: is it free?
