A HeyGen survey of 1,000+ small business owners found 71.6% have filmed a business video and never posted it — 53.9% said it didn't look professional enough and 48.6% hated how they looked. The company tested AI avatars as a stand-in for owners, with the full report now available. The data quantifies camera-shyness as a content bottleneck and signals AI avatars moving into SMB content production.
