Bevel tool wont work when i click and drag

alright so im trying to learn blender and im at the bevel tool part in a playlist from blender’s official channel but the guy speaking is doing something and i cant seem to do the same thing he’s doing

if you look at the timeframe he is clicking and dragging to do the bevel but im clicking and dragging and instead its doing a box select (and yes im in bevel mode because on the left of my screen i have bevel mode selected just like he has) and yes ik i can use ctrl+b to do it its just that i find it easier to do it the way he’s doing it and yes all my vertices in the cube are selected

Have you tried using another Blender tutorial instead? I’d suggest that since this isn’t really where you go for Blender issues.
Another problem is a lot of the older tutorials are for version 2.79, not the latest 2.80 version.

If you could share a video of your project, it might be an issue with the topology of the mesh.

I think the problem might be that you’re clicking right after you’ve pressed ctrl+b. You only need to click once you’ve got the bevel where you want it. It should work if you press ctrl+b and then move the mouse around (without clicking) until you have a bevel where you want it.
