    You're getting into your knees too much. They should be stopping their forward movement more inline with your toes and they should get there (and stay there) by the time you're halfway down. They shouldn't be moving forward during the bottom half of the squat. At the top, lock your knees and make sure you're tight across the upper back throughout the range of motion.

    You could shove your knees out just a bit more. You may want to narrow your stance just slightly to help with this. You want your knee tracking parallel with the direction of your toes. Overall pretty solid.

    I think these are high. I don't see knee slide though. Angle your feet out 30-35 degrees and push your knees out on way down. That should help with depth.

    Hello!

    The knee slide is better in the second video but as misspelledgeoff mentioned, you're a little high here. Increasing the toe angle will help with getting those knees out of the way. When you do this and then focus on tracking those knees directly over the toes, your torso can easily fall between your legs so as to get deeper and avoid impingement
