If I can give my 2 cents here:

The video seems good, it's concise and explains the formula clearly; however, I'd raise two points:

1 - it's not a good practice to reference whole columns - not only for performance reasons (although it is the major problem, even though excel 365 got better with this*), but form structure and error-proof reasons
2 - Most people today are immediatists (especially over the internet), and this may drive some people away from your video solely because it's 16 minutes vs. an alternative video with less than 2 minutes

* excel 365 got waaaay better due to cache usage optimizations, but there's a limit to that. If you use a lot of whole column references, your model will be significantly slower, specially in index & lookup functions (or functions that uses the same principles, such as =SUMIFS())
