There is no impediment for a woman to publish beneficial educational videos if she is wearing a complete, শরعي (Islamically lawful) hijab; this is because the voice of a woman is not considered 'awrah (something that must be concealed) according to the majority of scholars. A condition for this permissibility is that she must not speak in a soft or alluring manner, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech."
