A useful addition to that page would be a short summary of what "photogrammetry" is and a description of what this software does. It need only be a couple of sentences. Otherwise, looks very interesting.

Underlying photogrammetry library, https://alicevision.github.io/, has more informative landing page.

It's described right on the page: "Meshroom is a ... 3D Reconstruction Software..." 1 minute into the 6 minute video you can see that the program generates a point cloud from a set of photos.

If you somehow stumble onto the page and are too lazy to Google the term, I don't think you're in the target audience.

Yes, the description right now is equivalent to "does magic with photographs". It's a lost opportunity for introducing the uninitiated reader, thereby reducing the chance of them watching the video.
