Only watched the first set as you started benching after that.
Your form is pretty spot on from what i could tell, using good hip drive and no obvious flaws to knock you down on, only thing i would say is if you are using a low bar squat, then it looked like the height of the bar in the rack was a little too low, you may get away with it for now but as weights get heavy you want to have a solid base to take the bar out of, the bar height should be about the height of the sternum when you rack it, if you're doing the low bar.

It looked good, apart from no safety catchers!

Good form.
A few remarks:
White socks, really?
I wouldn't do it on half carpet/half floor (I'd go for completely floor).
And why gloves? I'd lose them.

That is a very good squat  It is a little difficult to see everything though, due to thee plates being in the way. A new video 45 degrees from behind would be better. But remember, that squat is completely acceptable. Also, I agree with Ruben. Go all the way back so you are standing purely on the floor, not half on carpet and half on the floor. Stability will improve  |

I believe you break from knees first. Feet could be wider to squat more weight, but not necessary if it does not feel comfortable.

I would have to agree gloves take away from your grip and mess with the exercise. |
