I saw two screens. 1) screener facing our view, opposite the ball, with the screener leaning to his left to insure contact

2) at end of video, screen on the shooter's defender, just enough to make the defender go around, giving the shooter an open shot instead of a contested shot.
A screen can be illegal by rule and not produce contact to warrant a foul. Defenders often try to just go around a screen and not run like normal. Coaches need to teach defenders to keep running or going to their spot instead of just avoiding a bad screen. Maybe then they would get a foul called.

Peace
