  • @Philipp please note I would like to concisely state the topic (5 characters, two words in English equivalent) after the sentence. In that case, perhaps 談 is perhaps more appropriate?

    @VincentVerheyen 這一次,我想跟你們講牛肉面 would be absolutely acceptable. You can further “colloquialize” it by adding 這個話題 after 牛肉面, if that sounds more natural to you, or you could say 我今天想跟你們講的話題就是牛肉面。

I think the audience you would target is important.

To the people from mainland, I suggest putting this like "在這裡,我要和大家聊一下(關於)..." or "在這裡,我們要聊的話題是...". Using 我們 is a good choice because the audience may feel you were with them. 大家 and 聊 can pull you closer to your audience on the topic, as if you were chatting, instead of teaching. If you want to talk about 牛肉麵, you could say "在這裡,我要和大家聊的話題是'牛肉麵'" or "在這裡,我們要聊的話題是'牛肉麵'" .

You could say:

我想通過這個視頻告訴你們 ...
