I've just looked at your video.
You can do a number of things to help us, but the first is to say at each point what you're expecting and what you see.
For example, instead of saying something about "legitimate results" say "I am expecting a reading near 2.00 and I get 0.00".
It looks like the circuit consists of your batteries, a fixed resistor, and a potentiometer in series.
I imagine the aim is to see the current change as you rotate the potentiometer.
If you see zero all the time (flashing between 0.00 and -0.00 really means zero, there's not real significance to that) then it's almost certain that you have made a mistake.
It looks like you're using alligator clips to hold wires together, this isn't a good idea. Get pairs of alligator clips and make short leads. In this circuit, you should have 4 of them (8 alligator clips = 4 cables).
Use these cables to connect :
* from the battery to the fixed resistor,
* from the fixed resistor to the pot,
* from the pot to the meter, and finally
* from the other meter lead to the other side of the battery.
Then you should be able to have your hands free to turn the pot
It is possible the pot is faulty. To check this, remove the pot from the circuit by connecting the 2 alligator clips that go to it together.
Also check that your fixed resistor is between 1000 ohms and 4700 ohms using the resistance range on your meter (before you connect it into the circuit) just in case you've picked the wrong value. I don't know what value you are supposed to use, but in this range you'll get a small number of mA which is probably what you want.
CocaCola's suggestion of checking the meter range is also a good one, although I must admit, I thought the meter was reading 0, not over range.
