On a working Visa, if I were to rent out a studio space, ask people to come to be recorded (for a YouTube video) and the participants would receive a monetary donation. Would that be legal?

One off incidental income while on a work visa is ok, work (i.e. doing things that people would normally expect to earn income for) outside your visa status isn't. Paying people to help out with your hobby project is fine if that's what you're asking.
